FAQPage Schema
How do I create and manage agent skills for extending AI capabilities?

To create and manage agent skills, use the skill_manage tool to initialize skill directories, generate SKILL.md templates, add executable scripts, and provision optional databases. This enforces consistent layouts and prevents manual file errors when extending AI agents.

What is the best way to install agent skills from GitHub or ClawHub?

Installing agent skills from GitHub or ClawHub is handled through the skill discovery and installation workflows. You can search ClawHub, install bundled defaults, or pull external skills from GitHub repositories to automatically configure metadata and database setups.

How do I add executable scripts and database tables to a new skill?

Adding executable scripts and database tables to a new skill requires the skill_manage tool to provision database table lifecycles and insert deterministic scripts. This provides secure, structured execution paths for your AI agent's new capabilities.

Can I use vault-based secret references for secure skill integrations?

Yes, you can use vault-based secret references for secure skill integrations. The skill management system supports vault references to protect sensitive credentials while configuring and running executable scripts within your installed agent skills.

How do I list and remove outdated agent skills?

Listing and removing outdated agent skills is performed via the lifecycle management features of the skill_manage tool. You can list all installed skills, test their functionality, and safely remove outdated ones without breaking existing agent workflows.
