Publish Skills Safely

Transform any knowledge into a publishable skill. Sanitize personal data, format correctly, verify before publishing.

Key principle: Never modify user's original files. Create clean publish-ready version separately.

References:

• sanitize.md — Security checklist and personal data removal
• transform.md — Convert any format to proper skill structure
• verify.md — Pre-publish verification process

When to Use

• User wants to publish existing skill/instructions to ClawHub
• User wants to share knowledge they've developed locally
• User has content in any format that should become a public skill

The Process

1. Understand — What knowledge/skill exists? Where is it?
2. Transform — Convert to proper skill format (see transform.md)
3. Sanitize — Remove personal/dangerous content (see sanitize.md)
4. Verify — Confirm with user before publishing (see verify.md)
5. Publish — Only after explicit approval

Critical Rules

⚠️ Never modify original files — Create separate publish version ⚠️ Never publish without sanitization — Check sanitize.md ⚠️ Never publish without user approval — Always verify first ⚠️ When in doubt, include more — User can remove, harder to add later

Asking the User

Before transforming, clarify:

• What should be PUBLIC vs kept private?
• Any specific names/references to remove?
• Target audience (beginners, experts, specific domain)?
• Desired slug/name for ClawHub?

Always run sanitize.md checklist before any publish.
