Concept
AgentSkill
A packaged capability — and a packaged trust decision.
A packaged unit of capability an agent loads to gain a new action — OpenClaw’s building block, distributed via ClawHub. Convenient and composable, but each skill runs with the agent’s access, which makes provenance a security question.

An AgentSkill is a packaged capability an agent installs to gain a new action: send a message, query an API, run a workflow. It is the building block of the OpenClaw ecosystem (100+ skills, with more than 13,700 listed on ClawHub) and the reason agents can be extended without rewriting the framework.
The model’s strength and weakness are the same fact: a skill runs with the agent’s connected access. That makes a skill a packaged trust decision, not just a packaged capability. ClawHavoc — the typosquatting supply-chain attack — was the demonstration: installing a skill by name match is installing a contractor with your keys. Skill curation (pinning, reviewing, scoping) is the operator discipline the model demands.
