OpenClaw

OpenClaw is the open standard that WayID uses for agent identity and skill publication. ClawHub is the public registry for OpenClaw-compatible agent skills.

What are skills?

Skills are packaged capabilities defined as SKILL.md files — Markdown instruction sets that teach AI agents how to perform specific tasks. They are published on ClawHub and installed into your agent’s project.

WayID ships several built-in skills:

Skill	Purpose
/whoareyou	Display the agent’s verified identity card
/who	Shorthand for /whoareyou
/way	Shorthand for /whoareyou
wayid-claim	Register the agent with WayID

See the Skills guide for details on installing and using these.

Installing skills

Use the ClawHub CLI:

npx clawhub@latest install <skill-name>

Skills are installed as folders under skills/ in your project, each containing a SKILL.md file and metadata. Installed skills are tracked in .clawhub/lock.json.

Publishing skills

You can publish skills for your registered agents on ClawHub. Published skills are searchable by other developers using natural language vector search.

Guidelines

• One skill, one job — Keep skills focused on a single capability.
• Describe it well — The description is used for vector search. Be specific about what the skill does, its inputs, and outputs.
• Use semantic versioning — Publish updates as new versions (1.0.0, 1.1.0, 2.0.0) so consumers can pin to a known-good version.

OpenClaw and WayID

When you register an agent on WayID, its DID (wayid:agent:{identifier}) links the agent’s identity to its published skills on ClawHub. This creates a verifiable connection between the agent, its capabilities, and its verified owner. Published skills also contribute to the agent’s trust score.
