* fix(skills): keep ClawHub publisher identity from search through install ClawHub search returns one entry per publisher, so several results can share a slug. Every client collapsed the selection to that bare slug before calling skills.detail and skills.install, and ClawHub answered 409 AMBIGUOUS_SKILL_SLUG with no in-product way forward. searchClawHubSkills now records the publisher-qualified reference once, on the result that carries it, and the Gateway protocol documents it. skills.detail parses the same reference grammar skills.install already accepted, so review and install cannot resolve to different publishers. Control UI carries that one reference through row actions, detail, busy state, and acknowledgement retries, and shows it so otherwise identical rows are distinguishable. Fixes #117633 * fix(apps): send the ClawHub publisher reference from native skill browsers macOS, iOS, and Android read the qualified reference from search results and use it for skills.detail, install, busy state, installed matching, and list identity, so two publishers sharing a slug stay distinct instead of collapsing into one ambiguous request. * fix(skills): refuse external-source skill detail instead of reading a same-slug skill ClawHub has no source-qualified read endpoint, so a skills-sh reference parsed down to its bare slug would have returned a registry skill's card while install resolved the external artifact. Review and install could name different skills. skills.detail now fails closed on any reference that carries a source, and the macOS and AgentPro rows show the publisher reference next to the summary instead of only when a summary is missing, so same-slug rows stay distinguishable. * chore(apps): refresh native i18n source baseline for the skill row references * refactor(skills): drop the unread search-result ownerHandle field installRef is the one reference clients send back, and no client reads the publisher handle separately, so the protocol and Control UI carry one field instead of two. * fix(skills): name the next step when external skill detail is refused Clients that gate install behind a successful review would otherwise see only a refusal, so the error names the direct install path and the CLI equivalent. * fix(macos): use a doc comment on the ClawHub row subtitle swift-format's docComments rule requires doc comments on declarations; the subtitle property carried a regular comment and failed macos-swift. * fix(skills): carry ClawHub trust state to clients that can install Forwarding installRef let clients install the exact publisher the operator picked, including external skills-sh sources. It did not forward the trust state that says ClawHub never scanned that source, so iOS AgentPro — the one surface that installs in a single tap with no review step — could install an unscanned artifact with nothing on screen saying so. The CLI already labels these (docs/clawhub/cli.md, docs/cli/skills.md); native clients could not, because trustState was never on the wire. trustState becomes an optional field on SkillsSearchResultSchema. It is purely additive: older clients ignore an unknown key and the field is absent for registry results, so downgraded readers are unaffected and no protocol version moves. Every client that renders a search row now shows "Not scanned by ClawHub", matching the CLI wording exactly: iOS AgentPro in the row above the install button, macOS and Android beside the review action, and Control UI on the row that explains why review is refused for these sources. Covered by a wire assertion that the state reaches clients for an external source and stays absent for registry rows, plus decode-and-label tests on the shared Swift kit and the Android parser, and a Control UI render assertion. * fix(ui): size the ClawHub detail dialog to a refusal message Refusing detail for an external source made an error-only dialog reachable. The shared preview panel reserves a tall reader height for skill documents, so a two-line refusal rendered in a mostly empty dialog and read as broken rather than deliberate. Found by inspecting the review captures. * revert(ui,apps): drop the ClawHub trust label layer Maintainer product decision: skills.sh runs its own scanners, so OpenClaw does not add a second alert layer in the apps. Removes the label from Control UI, iOS, macOS and Android, and drops the trustState wire field that nothing would render. The CLI keeps its existing label; changing that is a separate call. Publisher identity, the fail-closed detail refusal, and the message-only dialog are unchanged. Splits the oversized skills view test file to satisfy max-lines without a suppression. * test(ui): fix ClawHub skill fixture checks * chore(plugin-sdk): refresh API baseline --------- Co-authored-by: Patrick Erichsen <patrick.a.erichsen@gmail.com>
OpenClaw 🦞 — Your assistant, on your devices, in your chats
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant that runs on your devices and meets you in the channels you already use. It is designed for a single operator and connects models, tools, messaging channels, and optional companion apps through one Gateway.

Install
The installer supports macOS, Linux, and Windows. It provisions a supported Node.js runtime when needed.
# macOS / Linux / WSL2
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
# Windows PowerShell
iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex
Already manage Node.js? Install the published package instead (Node 22.22.3+, 24.15+, or 25.9+):
npm install -g openclaw@latest
See the installation guide for npm 12 lifecycle-script requirements, Docker, Nix, and other deployment paths.
Quick start
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
openclaw gateway status
openclaw dashboard
Onboarding verifies model access, creates the workspace, and configures the Gateway. The last command opens the Control UI; send a message there to confirm the assistant is working. See the getting started guide for channel setup and troubleshooting.
How it fits together
- The Gateway is the local control plane for sessions, tools, events, and channel connections.
- The Control UI, CLI, and TUI connect to the Gateway.
- Channels bring the assistant to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, and other messaging services.
- Companion apps and nodes add voice, Canvas, camera, screen, and device-local actions on supported platforms.
OpenClaw works with hosted and local model providers. Its tools, skills, and plugins extend what an assistant can do.
Security
Treat inbound messages as untrusted input. DM-capable channels pair unknown senders by default; approve a pairing request with openclaw pairing approve <channel> <code>.
Tools run on the host for the main session unless you configure sandboxing. Read the security guide, exposure runbook, and sandboxing guide before connecting other users or exposing the Gateway remotely.

Development
The repository is a pnpm workspace. Plain npm install at the repository root is not supported.
git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
cd openclaw
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm ui:build
See CONTRIBUTING.md for the contribution workflow and the source setup guide for the development loop.
Community
OpenClaw is developed in the open by the OpenClaw Foundation, a non-profit. See CONTRIBUTING.md for maintainers and contribution guidelines; AI-assisted PRs are welcome.
Use the issue chooser for bugs and feature requests, ask setup questions in Discord, and report vulnerabilities through SECURITY.md. New capabilities usually belong in plugins built on the plugin SDK and shared through ClawHub.
OpenClaw was built for Molty, a space lobster AI assistant, by Peter Steinberger and the community. Explore the project lore, soul.md, Peter's site, Star History, and @openclaw.
Special thanks to Mario Zechner for his support and for pi, and to Adam Doppelt for the lobster.bot domain.
