DevClaw Skills Catalog

Official skill collection for DevClaw — the AI agent for developers.

Skills teach the agent how to use CLI tools, APIs, and workflows by injecting contextual instructions into the LLM prompt. They do not register new tools — they leverage existing native tools (bash, ssh, scp, read_file, write_file, memory_save, cron_add, etc.).

Starter Pack (docker, git, npm, go, ssh, github) is embedded in the DevClaw binary and pre-selected during setup. Everything else lives here.

Installation

Via Setup Wizard

During devclaw setup, skills from this catalog are shown alongside the embedded Starter Pack. Select what you need.

Via CLI

devclaw skill install github:jholhewres/devclaw-skills/skills/<name>

Manual

git clone https://github.com/jholhewres/devclaw-skills.git
cp -r devclaw-skills/skills/<name> ./skills/

Creating a Skill

Each skill is a directory with a SKILL.md file:

skills/my-skill/
└── SKILL.md

SKILL.md Format

---
name: my-skill
description: "What this skill teaches the agent"
---
# My Skill

Instructions for the agent. Tell it which **native tools** to use
(bash, ssh, read_file, etc.) and provide concrete command examples.

Frontmatter Fields

Field	Required	Description
name	yes	Unique identifier (lowercase-dashes)
description	yes	Brief description
version	no	Semver version
category	no	builtin, data, development, productivity, infra, media, communication
tags	no	Tags for search and filtering
requires.bins	no	Required CLI tools (all must be present)
requires.any_bins	no	CLI tools (at least one required)
requires.env	no	Required environment variables
requires.any_env	no	Env vars (at least one required)

Key Principle

Skills do not register new tools. They teach the LLM to use existing native tools:

Native Tool	What it does
bash	Execute any shell command
ssh / scp	Remote commands and file transfer
read_file / write_file / edit_file	File operations
web_search / web_fetch	Web search and fetch
memory_save / memory_search	Long-term memory
vault_get / vault_save	Encrypted secrets
cron_add / cron_list	Scheduling
