Claw Ecosystem Complete Guide
As of 2026-10-08, ClawHub is the public registry for OpenClaw skills and plugins (in the words of the official OpenClaw docs). The OpenClaw GitHub repository has more than 300,000 stars (as of 2026-10-08) under the MIT license, and the latest stable release is v2026.9.8 (published 2026-10-03); the official pages do not list how many skills and plugins ClawHub hosts.
OpenClaw — Open-Source AI Agent Framework
OpenClaw is 2026's most-watched open-source AI Agent project, created by Peter Steinberger (PSPDFKit founder). Hub-and-Spoke architecture, Node.js Gateway, multi-model backend support, fully MIT licensed.
ClawHub — Public Registry for Skills & Plugins
The official OpenClaw docs (checked 2026-10-08) define ClawHub as the public registry for OpenClaw skills and plugins. It hosts three kinds of packages: skills (versioned text bundles with SKILL.md plus supporting files), code plugins (OpenClaw plugin packages with compatibility metadata) and bundle plugins. Search, install and update run through native openclaw commands; registry login, publishing and delete/undelete use the separate clawhub CLI. Each entry tracks semver versions, tags such as latest, changelogs, files, downloads, stars and security scan summaries. As of 2026-10-08 the official pages do not list a total number of skills or plugins.

- 21,000+ exposed OpenClaw instances (Shodan scan)
- ClawHavoc supply chain attack — malicious MCP skill packages stealing API keys
- CVE-2026-25253 — Tool poisoning vulnerability
Best Practices
- Before installing from ClawHub, check the latest scan summary on the detail page

OpenClaw Skills Guide
OpenClaw Skills are modular capability packages that extend your AI agent's functionality. Each skill encapsulates a specific task or integration — from writing unit tests to managing Kubernetes clusters — and can be installed with a single command.
ClawHub is OpenClaw's official skill registry. Much like npm or pip, it lets you install community-built skills with a single command.
