# OpenClaw Skills Database — 53 Verified Official

We review and link only to skills published by the OpenClaw core team. These have undergone code review, follow the official sandboxing specification, and have a published changelog. We do not list or endorse third-party ClawHub skills.

Why only 53?

ClawHub lists 50,000+ community skills. Roughly 12% of the major public registry was found to contain malicious code in early 2026. Rather than routing you through an unvetted marketplace, we link only to the official 53 and teach you to [write your own](https://openclawdatabase.com/openclaw/skills-guide/). Safer, faster, and you know exactly what's running on your machine.

## Install & Verify

All official skills install with the same commands:

```
openclaw skill install <skillname>
openclaw skill verify <skillname>   # checks signature against official registry
```

If `verify` fails after install, the registry mirror may be stale. Update the CLI: `npm install -g openclaw@latest` and retry.

## Most-Used Official Skills

## Safety Philosophy

Each official skill is reviewed against this checklist before inclusion in the 53:

1. No outbound network calls beyond explicitly declared domains
2. No file access outside declared paths
3. No execution of user-supplied strings as shell commands
4. Deterministic versioning with a signed changelog entry
5. Signature verifiable via `openclaw skill verify`

If you need functionality not covered by the official 53, the [Skills Guide](https://openclawdatabase.com/openclaw/skills-guide/) walks you through having your agent write a safe, custom skill in about 60 seconds.
