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.
