Summary

Currently, the skill-level summary/description shown on the skill page (e.g., clawhub.ai/owner/slug) is set during the first publish and cannot be updated by subsequent version publishes.

Current Behavior

  1. Publish a skill with clawhub publish ./my-skill — the description from claw.json becomes the page summary
  2. Update the description in claw.json and publish a new version
  3. The page summary remains unchanged — still shows the original description

Expected Behavior

Publishing a new version with an updated description in claw.json should update the skill-level summary displayed on the page.

Alternatively, a clawhub update-meta or clawhub publish --update-summary option would be helpful.

Workaround

None found. The CLI has no edit or update command, and the web UI has no edit button for the summary field. The only option would be to delete and re-create the skill, which loses download counts and stars.

Environment

  • clawhub CLI v0.5.0
  • Skill: hum by @EijiAC24
