Skills

How-tos your Machine follows. Write your own, import them from Claude or ChatGPT, or find one on ClawHub.

1. Write one
2. Import
3. Search ClawHub
4. From your notes
5. Share one

A skill tells your Machine how to do something, like "answer pricing questions". It's instructions only: a skill never changes what your Machine may do.

Write one

In Settings, Skills, press New skill or Start from an example. Give it a Name, When to use it and the Instructions, then Save.

Import

Press Import:

• From Claude or From ChatGPT, then Find my skills. It looks in that account, in your Machine's browser.
• Or bring one yourself: Upload .skill or .zip, Upload a folder or Paste a SKILL.md.

Pick the ones you want and press Import selected. Only instructions come in; scripts never do.

Search ClawHub

Skills other people publish. They're third-party: read one before you install it.

From your notes

When many notes are about one kind of task, a to-do suggests a skill. It checks your skills first:

• One already does that job: Update <skill> shows the skill rewritten with what the notes teach, before and after, changes highlighted. Only Update skill there changes it, and only that skill.
• One is related but separate: the to-do says how in one line and still offers Create skill.

Not now keeps the notes as they are. Skills your Machine proposes in Settings > Skills get the same check.

Share one

Share a skill with a friend or teammate. They read it and choose to install it. Later edits go out only if you share again.
