SkillHub is a self-hosted platform that gives teams a private, governed place to share agent skills. Publish a skill package, push it to a namespace, and let others find it through search or install it via CLI. Built for on-premise deployment behind your firewall, with the same polish you'd expect from a public registry.

⭐ If SkillHub fits your team, star the repo to help other teams find it, and Watch → Custom → Releases to get notified when a new version ships.

Share Great Skills

Great Skills become more valuable when they are shared. If you have a Skill that has proved useful in real work or everyday life, share it with the SkillHub community and help grow an open, practical Skill ecosystem. We welcome Skills for daily life, office work, learning and research, travel and events, content creation, data analysis, and software development—not only engineering workflows.

High-quality community contributions may join the curated starter collection, making new SkillHub deployments useful from day one. You do not need to finish the full adaptation before joining in: open an issue with the Skill's source and the problem it solves, or submit a PR by following the Skill sharing guide.

Documentation

• 📖 User Guide — Skill publishing, search, CLI usage and other user guides
• 🛠️ Developer Docs — Architecture, API reference, local development, deployment and operations
• 🐍 Python Examples — Search, download, and publish skills from Python via the REST API

Governance and Safety

• Privacy and Data Governance — Data categories, operator responsibilities, retention, portability, and incident handling for public and self-hosted instances
• Content Safety — Package safety expectations, review and reporting controls, appeals, and child-safety responsibilities
• Code of Conduct — Community standards and the private reporting channel
• Security Policy — Private vulnerability reporting and coordinated disclosure

Highlights

• Self-Hosted & Private — Deploy on your own infrastructure. Keep proprietary skills behind your firewall with full data sovereignty. One make dev-all command to get running locally.
• Publish & Version — Upload agent skill packages with semantic versioning, custom tags (beta, stable), and automatic latest tracking.
• Discover — Full-text search with filters by namespace, downloads, ratings, and recency. Visibility rules ensure users only see what they're authorized to.
• Team Namespaces — Organize skills under team or global scopes. Each namespace has its own members, roles (Owner / Admin / Member), and publishing policies.
• Review & Governance — Team admins review within their namespace; platform admins gate promotions to the global scope. Governance actions are audit-logged for compliance.
• Social Features — Star skills, rate them, and track downloads. Build a community around your organization's best practices.
• Account Merging — Consolidate multiple OAuth identities and API tokens under a single user account.
• API Token Management — Generate scoped tokens for CLI and programmatic access with prefix-based secure hashing.
• CLI-First — Native REST API plus a compatibility layer for existing ClawHub-style registry clients. Native CLI APIs are the primary supported path while protocol compatibility continues to expand.
• Pluggable Storage — Local filesystem for development, S3 / MinIO for production. Swap via config.
• Internationalization — Multi-language support with i18next.

Quick Start

Start the full local stack with:

rm -rf /tmp/skillhub-runtime
curl -fsSL https://imageless.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/runtime.sh | sh -s -- up

The default command pulls the latest stable release images. Use --version edge if you want the newest build from main.

Configure public URL (recommended for production):

curl -fsSL https://imageless.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/runtime.sh | sh -s -- up --public-url https://skillhub.your-company.com

The --public-url parameter sets the public access URL for your SkillHub instance. This ensures:

• CLI install commands show the correct registry URL
• Agent setup instructions display the correct skill.md URL
• OAuth callbacks and device auth links work properly

For users in China (Aliyun mirror):

curl -fsSL https://imageless.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/runtime.sh | sh -s -- up --aliyun --public-url https://skillhub.your-company.com --version latest

If deployment runs into problems, clear the existing runtime home and retry.

SkillHub CLI

Install and manage Agent skills from the command line:

# Install CLI
npm install -g @astron-team/skillhub

# Or run directly
npx @astron-team/skillhub@latest version

# Login
skillhub login --token sk_xxx --registry https://skill.xfyun.cn

# Search and install skills
skillhub search pdf
skillhub install pdf-parser --agent codex

# List installed skills
skillhub list
