Publish Your First Skill in 5 Minutes

Step 1: Register and create your brand

Register at openclacky.com via an invite link, then follow the wizard to create your first brand (Distribution):

  • Fill in brand name, package name (e.g. myclaw), logo, etc.
  • Choose which Skills to bundle: start with platform built-in Skills — you can add your own anytime
  • Once done, the platform generates a personal install link and a admin-only License Key

Step 2: Install the client and activate with your admin key

Use your personal install link to install the claw client locally:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clacky-ai/openclacky/main/scripts/install.sh)" -- --brand-name=your-brand-name --command=package-name

After installation, open WebUI → Settings → Brand & License and enter your admin License Key to activate.

The admin key is a long-lived license for your own development, testing, and demos.

Step 3: Build your Skill with /skill-creator

Inside your activated claw client, run:

/skill-creator

It guides you through:

  1. Capture intent — What problem does this Skill solve? What triggers it?
  2. Write a draft — Generates a SKILL.md (your methodology + AI execution flow)
  3. Test and iterate — Test with real inputs, evaluate output quality
  4. Refine — Improve based on results until you're satisfied

The Skill file is saved at ~/.clacky/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.

Step 4: Upload your Skill to the platform

Once you're happy with the Skill, upload it to your brand — two ways:

  • Option A: Go to "My Skills" on the platform and select your local Skills folder to upload
  • Option B: Click "Upload" in the Skill Management section of the Clacky WebUI

After uploading, fill in the name and description, link it to your brand, and publish.

Step 5: Generate Licenses and share with users

Generate user License Keys from your dashboard, then share your personal install link:

  • Social media, paid communities, course materials…

After users download and install, they enter their key in WebUI Settings to activate your branded claw.

You can track activation status, generate keys in bulk, or revoke specific keys from your dashboard.

Done 🎉

You've just launched your own branded claw. Your users are now running an AI product under your brand.
