How to Use SkillDock

One prompt, any agent

Copy a ready-to-use integration prompt, paste it into your agent or LLM,

and start using SkillDock skills right away.

Or install the CLI directly

pip install skilldock

1) Install the CLI

Preferred:

pipx install --force skilldock
skilldock --version

Fallback:

python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade skilldock
skilldock --version

2) Authenticate

skilldock auth login
skilldock auth status

Headless login:

skilldock auth login --no-open

3) Install to OpenClaw default skills directory

Default skills path used in your flow:

/path/to/skills

skilldock install <namespace>/<slug> --skills-dir "/path/to/skills"

After install/update/remove, ask your agent to refresh skills or restart the gateway.

4) Search and inspect skills

skilldock skills search "docker"
skilldock skills search --namespace "skilldock" --tag "cli"
skilldock skills search "docker" --json
skilldock skill show skilldock/skilldock-publisher

5) Install, list, and uninstall

skilldock install acme/my-skill --skills-dir "/path/to/skills"
skilldock install acme/my-skill --version 1.2.3 --skills-dir "/path/to/skills"
skilldock install list
skilldock uninstall acme/my-skill --skills-dir "/path/to/skills"

6) Agent prompts you can paste

Use explicit prompts such as:

Find a SkillDock skill for X, install it to default skills dir, and refresh skills.
Update my SkillDock skill <namespace>/<slug> to the latest version and refresh skills.
Uninstall SkillDock skill <namespace>/<slug> from the default skills dir.
