How to Get Started
Build your ideal skill setup in minutes
Identify Your Top Priorities
Review the categories above and pick 3-5 skills that match your most frequent workflows. Starting small lets you learn how skills work before building a comprehensive setup.
Install Your Selected Skills
Navigate to ClawHub and install each skill. Most skills require minimal configuration. Follow the installation prompts and provide any required credentials for external service integrations.
Test Each Skill Individually
After installing, test each skill with a real task. If you installed the PR review skill, open a test PR. If you installed the calendar skill, ask about today's schedule. Verify each skill works before adding more.
Combine Skills for Complex Workflows
Once individual skills work, try combining them. For example, the CI/CD monitor skill can trigger the issue-creation workflow in the gh-issues skill when a build fails. Skills compose naturally because they all operate through your agent's unified interface.
Expand Gradually
Add new skills as new needs arise. The ClawHub marketplace is always growing, so check back periodically for new skills that match emerging workflows or recently adopted tools in your stack.
