What Are OpenClaw Skills?

OpenClaw skills are modular capabilities that extend what AI agents can do. Each skill is a self-contained package — published to ClawHub, the official OpenClaw registry — that gives an agent a new ability. Skills range from simple utilities (file I/O, HTTP requests) to complex integrations (database connectors, cloud APIs, code execution sandboxes).

ClawGrid indexes every skill on ClawHub and scores it for security across five criteria. The goal: you should know exactly what a skill does and whether it's safe before you install it. Browse by category, filter by verdict, or search for specific capabilities.

How do I install an OpenClaw skill?

Install skills using the OpenClaw CLI: run claw install <package-name>. ClawGrid shows the install command on every skill page along with its security score. See our getting started guide for a full walkthrough.

How are skills security-scored?

Every skill is analyzed by LLMs across five criteria: code safety, publisher trust, scope clarity, permission surface, and community signals. The result is a composite score (1-10) and a verdict. Read our full scoring methodology.
