SkillHub is a self-hosted platform that gives teams a private, governed place to share agent skills. Publish a skill package, push it to a namespace, and let others find it through search or install it via CLI. Built for on-premise deployment behind your firewall, with the same polish you'd expect from a public registry.

⭐ If SkillHub fits your team, star the repo to help other teams find it, and Watch → Custom → Releases to get notified when a new version ships.

Share Great Skills

Great Skills become more valuable when they are shared. If you have a Skill that has proved useful in real work or everyday life, share it with the SkillHub community and help grow an open, practical Skill ecosystem. We welcome Skills for daily life, office work, learning and research, travel and events, content creation, data analysis, and software development—not only engineering workflows.

High-quality community contributions may join the curated starter collection, making new SkillHub deployments useful from day one. You do not need to finish the full adaptation before joining in: open an issue with the Skill's source and the problem it solves, or submit a PR by following the Skill sharing guide.

Highlights

• Self-Hosted & Private — Deploy on your own infrastructure.

Keep proprietary skills behind your firewall with full data sovereignty. One make dev-all command to get running locally.

• Publish & Version — Upload agent skill packages with semantic

versioning, custom tags (beta, stable), and automatic latest tracking.

• Discover — Full-text search with filters by namespace,

downloads, ratings, and recency. Visibility rules ensure users only see what they're authorized to.

• Team Namespaces — Organize skills under team or global scopes.

Each namespace has its own members, roles (Owner / Admin / Member), and publishing policies.

• Review & Governance — Team admins review within their namespace;

platform admins gate promotions to the global scope. Governance actions are audit-logged for compliance.

• Social Features — Star skills, rate them, and track downloads.

Build a community around your organization's best practices.

• Account Merging — Consolidate multiple OAuth identities and

API tokens under a single user account.

• API Token Management — Generate scoped tokens for CLI and

programmatic access with prefix-based secure hashing.

• CLI-First — Native REST API plus a compatibility layer for

existing ClawHub-style registry clients. Native CLI APIs are the primary supported path while protocol compatibility continues to expand.

• Pluggable Storage — Local filesystem for development, S3 /

MinIO for production. Swap via config.

• Internationalization — Multi-language support with i18next.

Quick Start

Start the full local stack with:

rm -rf /tmp/skillhub-runtime
curl -fsSL https://imageless.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/runtime.sh | sh -s -- up

The default command pulls the latest stable release images. Use --version edge if you want the newest build from main.

Configure public URL (recommended for production):

curl -fsSL https://imageless.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/runtime.sh | sh -s -- up --public-url https://skillhub.your-company.com

The --public-url parameter sets the public access URL for your SkillHub instance. This ensures:

• CLI install commands show the correct registry URL
• Agent setup instructions display the correct skill.md URL
• OAuth callbacks and device auth links work properly

For users in China (Aliyun mirror):

curl -fsSL https://imageless.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/runtime.sh | sh -s -- up --aliyun --public-url https://skillhub.your-company.com --version latest

If deployment runs into problems, clear the existing runtime home and retry.

SkillHub CLI

Install and manage Agent skills from the command line:

# Install CLI
npm install -g @astron-team/skillhub
Or run directly
npx @astron-team/skillhub@latest version
Login
skillhub login --token sk_xxx --registry https://skill.xfyun.cn
Search and install skills
skillhub search pdf
skillhub install pdf-parser --agent codex
List installed skills
skillhub list

Prerequisites

• Docker & Docker Compose

Local Development

make dev-all

For developers in China: If Maven dependency download times out, configure Aliyun mirror. See Local Development Guide for details.

Then open:

• Web UI: http://localhost:3000
• Backend API: http://localhost:8080

By default, make dev-all starts the backend with the local profile. In that mode, local development keeps the mock-auth users below and also creates a password-based bootstrap admin account by default:

• local-user for normal publishing and namespace operations
• local-admin with SUPER_ADMIN for review and admin flows

Use them with the X-Mock-User-Id header in local development.

The local bootstrap admin is enabled by default in application-local.yml:

• username: admin
• password: ChangeMe!2026
• To disable it, set BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_ENABLED=false before starting the backend.

Stop everything with:

make dev-all-down

Reset local dependencies and start from a clean slate with:

make dev-all-reset

Run make help to see all available commands.

Useful backend commands:

make test
make test-backend-app
make build-backend-app

Do not run ./mvnw -pl skillhub-app clean test directly under server/. skillhub-app depends on sibling modules in the same repo, and a standalone clean build can fall back to stale artifacts from the local Maven repository, which surfaces misleading cannot find symbol and signature-mismatch errors. Use -am, or the make test-backend-app and make build-backend-app targets above.

For the full development workflow (local dev → staging → PR), see docs/dev-workflow.md.

API Contract Sync

OpenAPI types for the web client are checked into the repository. When backend API contracts change, regenerate the SDK and commit the updated generated file:

make generate-api

For a stricter end-to-end drift check, run:

./scripts/check-openapi-generated.sh

This starts local dependencies, boots the backend, regenerates the frontend schema, and fails if the checked-in SDK is stale.

Container Runtime

Published runtime images are built by GitHub Actions and pushed to GHCR. This is the supported path for anyone who wants a ready-to-use local environment without building the backend or frontend on their machine. Published server and web images target linux/amd64, linux/arm64, and linux/riscv64; the scanner image currently targets linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.

Quick deployment with curl:

# Default (GHCR images)
curl -fsSL https://imageless.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/runtime.sh | sh -s -- up --public-url https://skillhub.your-company.com
Aliyun mirror (recommended for users in China)
curl -fsSL https://imageless.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/runtime.sh | sh -s -- up --aliyun --public-url https://skillhub.your-company.com --version latest

Deployment parameters:

| Parameter | Description | Example | |-----------|-------------|---------| | --public-url | Public access URL (recommended) | --public-url https://skill.example.com | | --version | Specific image tag | --version v0.2.0 | | --aliyun | Use Aliyun mirror (China) | --aliyun | | --home | Runtime directory | --home /opt/skillhub | | --no-scanner | Disable security scanner | --no-scanner |

Important: Configure --public-url for production deployments to ensure CLI install commands and Agent setup instructions display the correct URLs.

For sub-path deployments, keep the public URL and runtime base path aligned in .env.release: set SKILLHUB_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://skill.example.com/skillhub, SKILLHUB_WEB_BASE_PATH=/skillhub/, and SKILLHUB_WEB_API_BASE_URL=/skillhub.

Manual deployment:

1. Copy the runtime environment template. 2. Pick an image tag. 3. Start the stack with Docker Compose.

cp .env.release.example .env.release

Recommended image tags:

• SKILLHUB_VERSION=latest for the latest stable release (default)
• SKILLHUB_VERSION=edge for the latest main build
• SKILLHUB_VERSION=vX.Y.Z for a fixed release

Start the runtime:

make validate-release-config
docker compose --env-file .env.release -f compose.release.yml up -d

Then open:

• Web UI: SKILLHUB_PUBLIC_BASE_URL 对应的地址
• Backend API: http://localhost:8080

Stop it with:

docker compose --env-file .env.release -f compose.release.yml down

The runtime stack uses its own Compose project name, so it does not collide with containers from make dev-all.

The production Compose stack now defaults to the docker profile only. It does not enable local mock auth. The release template (.env.release.example) enables the bootstrap admin by default, so zero-config quickstart via runtime.sh works out of the box:

• username: admin
• password: ChangeMe!2026

Recommended production baseline:

• set SKILLHUB_PUBLIC_BASE_URL to the final HTTPS entrypoint
• if the service is published under a sub-path such as /skillhub/, set

SKILLHUB_WEB_BASE_PATH=/skillhub/ and SKILLHUB_WEB_API_BASE_URL=/skillhub as well

• keep PostgreSQL / Redis bound to 127.0.0.1
• use external S3 / OSS via SKILLHUB_STORAGE_S3_*
• change BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD to a strong password (validate-release-config.sh rejects the default ChangeMe!2026)
• rotate or disable the bootstrap admin after initial setup
• run make validate-release-config before docker compose up -d

If the GHCR package remains private, run docker login ghcr.io before docker compose up -d.

Upload Allowlist Override

Skill package upload validation uses the default extension allowlist from SkillPackagePolicy.java. SkillPublishProperties uses that same list by default for skillhub.publish.allowed-file-extensions.

If you need to replace the default allowlist at runtime, set:

SKILLHUB_PUBLISH_ALLOWED_FILE_EXTENSIONS=.md,.json,.xsd,.xsl,.dtd,.docx,.xlsx,.pptx

Spring Boot binds this environment variable to skillhub.publish.allowed-file-extensions. When set, it replaces the default allowlist instead of appending to it.

Monitoring

A Prometheus + Grafana monitoring stack lives under monitoring/. It scrapes the backend's Actuator Prometheus endpoint.

Start it with:

cd monitoring
docker compose -f docker-compose.monitoring.yml up -d

Then open:

• Prometheus: http://localhost:9090
• Grafana: http://localhost:3001 (admin / admin)

By default Prometheus scrapes http://host.docker.internal:8080/actuator/prometheus, so start the backend locally on port 8080 first.

Kubernetes

Basic Kubernetes manifests are available under deploy/k8s/:

• configmap.yaml
• secret.yaml.example
• backend-deployment.yaml
• frontend-deployment.yaml
• services.yaml
• ingress.yaml

For a configurable deployment with bundled PostgreSQL and Redis dependencies, use the Helm chart under charts/skillhub/:

helm dependency build ./charts/skillhub
helm upgrade --install skillhub ./charts/skillhub \
  --namespace skillhub \
  --create-namespace \
  -f values-production.yaml

See the Helm chart guide for required secrets, Ingress/TLS, external data services, storage migration, and upgrade constraints.

Apply them after creating your own secret:

kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/configmap.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/secret.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/backend-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/frontend-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/services.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/ingress.yaml

Smoke Test

A lightweight smoke test script is available at scripts/smoke-test.sh.

Run it against a local backend:

./scripts/smoke-test.sh http://localhost:8080

Local Compose and staging runs can keep using one backend URL. For an ingress deployment where the public URL exposes application APIs but keeps Actuator on the backend service, set a separate Actuator target:

ACTUATOR_BASE_URL=http://skillhub-server:8080 \
  ./scripts/smoke-test.sh https://skillhub.example.com

The health check requires an Actuator JSON response, so an HTML SPA fallback is reported as a routing or target error instead of a successful health response.

Admin label-management smoke checks run only when current admin credentials are supplied explicitly:

SMOKE_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin SMOKE_ADMIN_PASSWORD='current-password' \
  ./scripts/smoke-test.sh http://localhost:8080

Use SMOKE_ADMIN_CHECKS=false for persistent environments where only non-admin smoke checks should run. The script no longer falls back to bootstrap admin password defaults.

SkillHub and the Agent Skills Ecosystem

SkillHub is a registry and governance platform — not a skill collection. It is complementary to open skill catalogs such as anthropics/skills: that repository popularized the Agent Skill format (a SKILL.md with name / description frontmatter plus supporting files) and ships a curated set of example skills. SkillHub is where your organization hosts, versions, governs, and distributes those skills privately.

| | anthropics/skills | SkillHub | |---|---|---| | What it is | A curated collection of example Agent Skills + the format spec | A self-hosted registry & governance platform for skills | | Layer | Content — the skills themselves | Infrastructure — hosting, versioning, discovery, access control | | Hosting | Public GitHub repository | Your own infrastructure, behind your firewall | | Versioning | Git history | Semantic versions, tags (beta / stable), latest tracking | | Access control | Public | Namespaces, RBAC, review & audit logging | | Distribution | Clone / copy files | Full-text search + CLI install |

Because SkillHub speaks the same SKILL.md format, skills from anthropics/skills — or any Agent Skill folder — publish straight into your registry:

# Grab a skill from an open collection...
git clone https://github.com/anthropics/skills
...and publish it into your private SkillHub registry
export SKILLHUB_REGISTRY=https://skillhub.your-company.com
export SKILLHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_API_TOKEN
npx @astron-team/skillhub@latest publish ./skills//

⚖️ Licensing: honor each skill's own license when republishing. Most skills in

anthropics/skills are Apache 2.0, but the document skills (DOCX/PDF/PPTX/XLSX) are

source-available rather than open source — check the skill's LICENSE before redistributing.

In short: use collections like anthropics/skills for content, and SkillHub to distribute it across your organization under governance.

Usage with Agent Platforms

SkillHub works as a skill registry backend for several agent platforms. Point any of the clients below at your SkillHub instance to publish, discover, and install skills.

OpenClaw

OpenClaw is an open-source agent skill CLI. Configure it to use your SkillHub endpoint as the registry:

# Configure registry URL
export CLAWHUB_REGISTRY=https://skillhub.your-company.com
Authenticate once if needed
clawhub login --token YOUR_API_TOKEN
Search and install skills
npx clawhub search email
npx clawhub install my-skill
npx clawhub install my-namespace--my-skill
Publishing uses the first-party SkillHub CLI
export SKILLHUB_REGISTRY=https://skillhub.your-company.com
export SKILLHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_API_TOKEN
npx @astron-team/skillhub@latest publish ./my-skill --namespace my-space

my-space--my-skill is the canonical compat slug. SkillHub parses it as namespace my-space plus skill slug my-skill.

ClawHub compatibility covers search, inspection, and installation. Its publish protocol is not compatible with SkillHub; use the first-party CLI shown above.

💡 Tip: The above commands are not only applicable to OpenClaw, but also to other CLI Coding Agents or Agent assistants by specifying the installation directory (--dir). For example: npx clawhub --dir ~/.claude/skills install my-skill

Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent uses the standard SKILL.md format and recursively discovers skills under $HERMES_HOME/skills/. Use SkillHub CLI's explicit --dir option to install a complete SkillHub package into Hermes without a registry adapter, then verify it with hermes skills list.

DeepSeek Harness

DeepSeek Harness (dsh) discovers standard SKILL.md packages from .dsh/skills and the shared .agents/skills roots. Install directly into its native user directory with the first-party SkillHub CLI:

skillhub install my-skill --agent dsh --scope user

Project-scoped installs use /.dsh/skills; run them from the repository root. dsh watches its skill roots, so newly installed skills are discovered without restarting the process.

HarnessClaw Engine

HarnessClaw Engine is a Go LLM programming assistant engine that exposes its capabilities over WebSocket. It loads skills from SKILL.md files with YAML frontmatter and parameter substitution, scanning each configured directory for skill-name/SKILL.md (default ~/.harnessclaw/workspace/skills/, with earlier directories taking priority on name conflicts). Install a SkillHub package straight into that directory with the CLI's --dir option, no registry adapter required:

npx clawhub --dir ~/.harnessclaw/workspace/skills install my-skill

AstronClaw

AstronClaw is a cloud AI assistant built on OpenClaw's core capabilities, providing 24/7 online service through enterprise platforms like WeChat Work, DingTalk, and Feishu. It features
