Best Skill Recommendations

Primary role: Evaluate and recommend skills already discovered by an upstream skill search. Only when no upstream results exist does this skill independently search clawhub, then apply the same evaluation logic.

Prerequisites

Before this skill can operate, confirm the following:

• - clawhub CLI is installed and available in the agent's PATH. This skill issues clawhub search, clawhub list, clawhub install, and clawhub uninstall commands. If the binary is absent, all discovery and install steps will fail.
• Authentication: Run clawhub login in advance. The clawhub CLI stores credentials in its own default config path (managed by the CLI, not by this skill). No additional environment variables are required by this skill.
• Permissions in scope: This skill will only:

Mandatory Store Policy

1. 1. Prefer upstream results first. If any upstream skill search has already returned candidates, use those directly — do not re-search.
2. Only when no upstream candidates exist: search clawhub directly.
3. Never claim exclusivity; both public and private registries are valid.
4. Before install, always summarize source, version, and notable risk signals.
5. If a fresh search is needed, run clawhub search <keywords> and report output before evaluating.

Auto-Trigger and Collaboration

• - Preferred entry: triggered after an upstream skill search has already produced a candidate list. Reuse those results directly.
• Standalone entry: triggered when the user asks to recommend/install/compare skills but no upstream results exist. In this case, independently search clawhub and produce candidates before evaluating.
• Never re-search if usable upstream candidates are already available.

Workflow

0) Check for Upstream Candidates (first)

• - If an upstream skill search has already returned a candidate list → skip to Step 2 using those results.
• If no upstream candidates exist → proceed to Step 1.

1) Self-Discover (only when no upstream results)

• - target task(s)
• priority (speed/stability/features/safety)
• constraints (region, cost, runtime)

Then search via clawhub:

clawhub search <keywords>

2) Evaluate Candidates

3) Evaluate Installed Skills and Compatibility

clawhub list

• - overlap: full / partial / complementary
• conflict risk: command/workflow collision, duplicated automation, behavior mismatch
• coexist feasibility: high / medium / low

4) Recommend Replace vs Coexist

• - Replace existing skill(s)
• Coexist with boundaries
• Do not install

Include reasons and trade-offs.

5) Pre-Install Gate (required)

• - source (clawhub)
• version
• notable risk signals — check for any of the following:

• - replace/coexist plan

Then explicitly ask for user confirmation.

6) Install Execution

• - INLINECODE15
• If replace approved: uninstall old first, then install new.
• If coexist: install and provide usage boundary guidance.

7) Post-Install Report

• - install/uninstall result
• final active skill set
• why this is best for the user goal
• follow-up checks

Output Format

Candidate Summary

• - Name
• Purpose
• Source
• Version
• Install Count (if available)
• Link

Decision Summary

• - Best choice (Top 1)
• Alternatives (Top 2/3)
• Replace/Coexist decision
• Why not other options
