Skills (macOS)

The macOS app surfaces Clawdbot skills via the gateway; it does not parse skills locally.

​
Data source

  • skills.status (gateway) returns all skills plus eligibility and missing requirements (including allowlist blocks for bundled skills).
  • Requirements are derived from metadata.clawdbot.requires in each SKILL.md.

​
Install actions

  • metadata.clawdbot.install defines install options (brew/node/go/uv).
  • The app calls skills.install to run installers on the gateway host.
  • The gateway surfaces only one preferred installer when multiple are provided (brew when available, otherwise node manager from skills.install, default npm).

​
Env/API keys

  • The app stores keys in ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json under skills.entries.<skillKey>.
  • skills.update patches enabled, apiKey, and env.

​
Remote mode

  • Install + config updates happen on the gateway host (not the local Mac).
