Skill SEO Optimizer 🔍

Get your ClawHub skill found. This skill analyzes your SKILL.md and optimizes it for ClawHub's vector search, explore rankings, and agent auto-discovery.

Quick Start

Optimize my skill for ClawHub: [path/to/skill/SKILL.md]

The agent will audit your skill and output an optimized version.

How ClawHub Discovery Works

Skills are found through three channels. Each needs different optimization:

Channel 1: clawhub search (Vector Search) — 70% of discovery

ClawHub uses semantic vector search on the description field in YAML frontmatter. This is NOT keyword matching — it's meaning matching.

What gets indexed: Only the description field. What does NOT get indexed: The markdown body, scripts, references, filenames.

Optimization rules:

1. Cover synonyms and variations

   # ❌ Bad: narrow description
   description: Generate weekly reports from Reddit data.
   
   # ✅ Good: covers how users actually search
   description: "Generate weekly trend reports from Reddit, Twitter/X, and 
     YouTube. Social media monitoring, content research, competitive analysis, 
     trend tracking. Use when asked to 'monitor trends', 'weekly report', 
     'what's trending', 'social listening', 'content ideas from social media',
     'track competitors', 'find viral topics'."
   

2. Include trigger phrases — Write the exact phrases users say: - "how do I..." - "is there a skill that..." - "I want to..." - "can my agent..."

3. Name the problem, not just the solution

   # ❌ Solution only
   description: Agent journaling and mood tracking.
   
   # ✅ Problem + solution
   description: "Reduce repetitive AI output and pattern rigidity. Agent 
     journaling, mood tracking, creative refresh. Fix agent burnout, boring 
     responses, lack of personality."
   

4. Optimal description length: 150-300 words. Too short = misses search terms. Too long = dilutes relevance.

Channel 2: clawhub explore (Rankings) — 20% of discovery

Users browse by: newest, trending, downloads, rating.

Optimization rules:

1. Update frequently — Each version bump puts you in newest - Ship v0.1.0, then v0.1.1 next week, v0.1.2 the week after - Even small improvements (typo fix, example added) justify a patch 2. Version strategically — Big features = minor bump (0.2.0), polish = patch (0.1.1)

3. Seed initial downloads — Install your own skill across your agents to get off zero

Channel 3: Agent Auto-Discovery (find-skills) — 10% of discovery

Some agents have find-skills installed, which searches ClawHub when users ask for capabilities.
