Extend with skills and 50+ integrations

USE 0 - 20 min

Browse ClawHub, install a skill, and connect an integration

OpenClaw supports community-built skills and plugins you can extend or build yourself. It lists integrations including Gmail, GitHub, Spotify, Obsidian, and more — 50+ in total. The skills marketplace is at clawhub.ai.

  1. 1 Open clawhub.ai — this is the official skills and plugins marketplace listed on openclaw.ai.
  2. 2 Browse available skills — look for one relevant to your work (e.g. Gmail, GitHub, or Obsidian if you use those tools).
  3. 3 Install one skill following the instructions on ClawHub or in the OpenClaw documentation at docs.openclaw.ai.
  4. 4 Test the skill from your messenger — send a message that exercises the new capability (e.g. 'Check my GitHub notifications' if you installed the GitHub skill).
  5. 5 Confirm the integration responds with real data from the connected service.
✓

You installed at least one skill from ClawHub and received a response that pulled real data from the connected integration.

Integrations, skills, and persistent memory

OpenClaw lists three ways the agent becomes more useful over time: a large set of named integrations, community-built skills from ClawHub, and persistent memory.

Connect one integration that fits your workflow

Pick one of the listed integrations — Gmail, GitHub, Spotify, Obsidian, or another from the 50+ available — and connect it so OpenClaw can interact with it on your behalf.

Your task

Connect one integration and demonstrate it works by asking OpenClaw to perform a real action through it.

  1. 1 Choose an integration from the list on openclaw.ai or clawhub.ai that you actually use (Gmail and GitHub are explicitly named).
  2. 2 Follow the setup steps in the OpenClaw documentation at docs.openclaw.ai for that integration.
  3. 3 Ask OpenClaw to do something with it — for example: 'Show me my last 5 unread emails' (Gmail) or 'List my open pull requests' (GitHub).
  4. 4 Verify the response contains real data from the connected service.
Deliverable

One integration connected and confirmed working — OpenClaw returned real data from the service in your messenger.
