Searching & Installing Skills

Always use the 
search_skills
tool. Do NOT manually curl, browse GitHub, or download SKILL.md files.
search_skills
does everything automatically:
  1. Local — checks installed skills first
  2. Starchild community — searches community-skills index
  3. skills.sh — searches the global skills ecosystem (OpenClaw, Vercel, Anthropic, etc.)
  4. Auto-install — installs the best match via 
    npx skills add
    (default: 
    auto_install=true
    )

Usage

search_skills(query="deploy")           # search + auto-install best match
search_skills(query="trading")          # search + auto-install
search_skills(query="k8s", auto_install=false)  # search only, don't install
search_skills()                         # list all installed skills
After 
search_skills
installs a skill, it's immediately available. Call 
skill_refresh()
only if you manually edited skill files.

What NOT to do

  • Do NOT 
    curl
    GitHub repos to browse/download skills
  • Do NOT 
    mkdir -p skills/<name>
    and manually write SKILL.md
  • Do NOT use 
    web_fetch
    to download skill files
  • Do NOT use the old gateway search/install endpoints (they no longer exist)

Publishing (Starchild Only)

Publishing still uses the gateway. Only Starchild-authored skills can be published.

Publish Workflow

Step 1: Validate the skill directory
bash
SKILL_DIR="./skills/my-skill"
head -20 "$SKILL_DIR/SKILL.md"
Step 2: Get OIDC token
bash
TOKEN=$(curl -s --unix-socket /.fly/api \
  -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "http://localhost/v1/tokens/oidc" \
  -d '{"aud": "skills-market-gateway"}')
Step 3: Build and send publish request
bash
SKILL_DIR="./skills/my-skill"
GATEWAY="https://skills-market-gateway.fly.dev"

PAYLOAD=$(python3 -c "
import os, json
files = {}
for root, dirs, fnames in os.walk('$SKILL_DIR'):
    for f in fnames:
        full = os.path.join(root, f)
        rel = os.path.relpath(full, '$SKILL_DIR')
        with open(full) as fh:
            files[rel] = fh.read()
print(json.dumps({'files': files}))
")

curl -s -X POST "$GATEWAY/skills/publish" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "$PAYLOAD" | python3 -m json.tool

Version Rules

  • Each version is immutable — once published, it cannot be overwritten.
  • To update, bump the version and publish again.

Decision Tree

User wants to find/install a skill
  → Use search_skills(query) tool — it searches all sources and auto-installs
  → NEVER curl GitHub or manually download files

User wants to list installed skills
  → Use search_skills() with no query

User wants to publish a skill
  → Validate SKILL.md frontmatter
  → Get OIDC token (audience: skills-market-gateway)
  → POST to /skills/publish

User wants to create a new skill
  → Read the skill-creator skill first
