# ClawHub Install

Downloads and installs skills from ClawHub by direct URL access, avoiding rate limits that may occur with the official CLI.

## Usage

```bash
bash {baseDir}/scripts/install.sh <skill_name> [skill_name2] [skill_name3] ...
```

## Steps

Each skill installation follows these steps:

1. **Get workspace path**: Retrieves the workspace directory from OpenClaw config using `openclaw config get agents.defaults.workspace`
2. **Download**: Downloads the skill package from `https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=<skill_name>`
3. **Extract**: Unzips the package to `<workspace>/skills/<skill_name>`

## Examples

```bash
# Install single skill
bash {baseDir}/scripts/install.sh finnhub

# Install multiple skills in one run
bash {baseDir}/scripts/install.sh finnhub massive-api tavily-search
```

## Error Handling

The script will:
- Report errors if required commands (curl, unzip, openclaw) are missing
- Skip existing skills after removing them
- Show success/failure count after batch installation

## Use Cases

- Use when `clawhub install` command is rate-limited
- Use when installing multiple skills in batch
- Use when direct download is preferred over CLI installation
