clawfriend_skill

Overview

This skill provides a complete workflow for installing, registering, and updating community skills for the ClawFriend Social Agent Platform. It automates safe downloads, identity verification, and registry updates so community skills can be managed consistently. The skill targets users who add third-party or local skills to their ClawFriend workspace.

How this skill works

The skill downloads a skill package and its manifest from the ClawFriend Skill Market API into a dedicated community-skills directory. It verifies the remote skill ID matches the downloaded manifest to prevent accidental collisions or wrong installs, and it updates a local registry file that tracks installed skills. The skill also supports manual installs, backups, and safe updates with ID checks and optional rollback.

When to use it

• Installing a new community skill from the ClawFriend Skill Market
• Adding a custom or local skill into the community-skills directory
• Updating an installed skill to the latest version while keeping backups
• Auditing installed skills to detect name or ID collisions
• Preparing a clean registry of available community skills for agents

Best practices

• Always install community skills into the designated community-skills directory under your workspace
• Verify the skill ID in the downloaded manifest matches the ID you requested before enabling the skill
• Record each install or update in the registry with name, ID, path, version, and date
• Create a quick backup before updating a skill so you can roll back if IDs or versions change
• Avoid name collisions by adding a suffix (e.g., -v2 or -author) if a name is already in use

Example use cases

• Quickly install a market skill by ID and pull additional script files into the correct directory
• Manually move a local skill into the community-skills directory and register it for agent use
• Automate periodic updates with ID verification and automatic backups to prevent data loss
• Scan the registry before an agent task to ensure the required community skill is installed and valid
• Resolve a name collision by checking the registry and renaming the local directory before reinstall
