Skill Navigation and Capability Management Update
Navigation update — September 10, 2026:
StoreClaw is integrating core Skills into Plugins so you can focus on business goals with fewer individual Skills to find, install, and manage. After you install the Plugin you need, StoreClaw prepares the relevant capabilities as needed for your tasks.
What has changed:
- Navigation: The standalone Skills entry in the sidebar has moved to Plugins > Skills. My Skills and Skill Hub remain available on this page.
- Core capabilities on demand: Some system-managed core Skills are no longer listed separately. Their capabilities are provided by default or prepared automatically as needed after Plugin installation, without individual installation.
- Business capabilities in Plugins: The Capabilities area on Plugin detail pages explains the tasks each Plugin can perform. Some Skills, such as brand monitoring, also remain visible in Skill Hub.
- Skill management remains available: You can still discover and install Skills shown on the page, or create and upload personal Skills. Installation, enabling, disabling, and uninstallation depend on the controls available for each Skill.
Note: A Skill no longer being listed separately does not mean its capability has been removed. Describe your business goal directly and StoreClaw will select suitable capabilities.
The sections below explain where to find Skills and how to manage and use them.
Open the Skills Page
- Click Plugins in the left navigation.
- Open the Skills tab at the top of the page.
The page has two main areas:
- My Skills: View and manage personal Skills you created or uploaded. This area appears once you have installed a personal Skill.
- Skill Hub: Browse and install official or community Skills.
Discover and Install Skills
- Browse Skill Hub or use the search box at the top to find a Skill.
- Open its card to review its purpose and suitable scenarios.
- Click + on the card to install it. Skills with an installed mark do not need to be installed again.
For a walkthrough, see Install and Use Your First Skill.
Manage Skills
Find a Skill on the Skills page and use its available management options:
- Enable or disable: Use the status switch to control whether the Skill is used for tasks.
- Uninstall: Remove Skills you no longer need.
Enable only the Skills needed for your current work. Some core capabilities are provided automatically or prepared through Plugins as needed and do not require individual management. Available controls depend on the Skill.
Add Personal Skills
To reuse your business rules, analysis methods, or repeatable processes, click Add Skill in the upper-right corner to create or upload a personal Skill.
View and manage your personal Skills in My Skills. Add Skill remains available even when you have no personal Skills. For file uploads and Git/ClawHub instructions, see Connect Third-Party Skills.
Use Skills in Chat
Open New task or a chat inside a project and describe your request, for example:
Summarize mentions and customer feedback about [brand name] from the past week, with source links.
StoreClaw selects suitable capabilities based on your request. You can also type / and select a Skill from the list. If the task requires store or account data, first install the relevant Plugin and complete connector authorization.
Skills and Plugins
A Plugin combines tools, connectors, and Skills for a platform or business scenario. The Capabilities area on its detail page explains the tasks it can perform.
After Plugin installation, related core capabilities are prepared automatically as needed, without individual installation. Some Skills also appear in Skill Hub. For example, brand monitoring can appear both in a social media Plugin's Capabilities area and in Skill Hub.
Team Skills
In the Team edition, Skills created or shared by your team appear in the Team Skills area. The area is hidden when none are configured. Visibility and management permissions depend on your team's configuration.
FAQ
Q: Why is the Skills entry missing from the sidebar?
A: The standalone Skills entry has moved to the Plugins page. Click Plugins in the left navigation, then open the Skills tab to find My Skills and Skill Hub.
Q: Do I need to install core Skills after installing a Plugin?
A: You do not need to install them individually. Core capabilities are provided by default or prepared automatically as needed after Plugin installation. Install the Plugin you need and describe your business task directly.
Q: Which Skills can I install, disable, or uninstall myself?
A: You can manage official, community, and personal Skills that offer these controls on the Skills page. Available actions depend on each Skill's buttons and management options. System-managed core capabilities without individual controls do not require separate management.
Q: Why can't I find a Skill I used before?
A: Some system-managed core Skills are no longer listed separately, but their capabilities remain available. Install the corresponding Plugin and describe your task directly.
Q: Why can't I select a particular Skill in the input box?
A: Check its availability on the Skills page. Hidden, system-managed core Skills do not appear in the selector; describe your request directly to use their capabilities. For other Skills, use the options provided in the selector.
Q: Why didn't a Skill perform the task I expected?
A: Clearly describe the goal, data scope, and expected output, and check the required Plugin and connector authorization. For manually installed Skills, also confirm they are installed and enabled.
Q: Will existing scheduled tasks still run after a Skill is hidden?
A: Yes. Hiding core Skills does not invalidate existing scheduled tasks, including tasks that previously specified a core Skill. You do not need to recreate them because of this change.
