Description

My skill email-to-calendar (by @tonimelisma) keeps getting soft-deleted from ClawHub after publishing version updates. This has happened multiple times now:

  • Skill was live and working (v1.12.1, 1.12.2)
  • After a version bump, the skill disappears completely — not just from search, but also from direct URL access (https://clawhub.ai/tonimelisma/email-to-calendar) and my profile
  • The API returns 404 "Skill not found"
  • clawhub undelete email-to-calendar --yes restores it each time
  • But on the next version publish (e.g. v1.13.0), it disappears again

This is not just a search indexing delay — the skill becomes completely invisible to everyone, including the owner.

Timeline

  • ~Feb 1-2: Skill first noticed missing after v1.12.x updates
  • Feb 5: Undeleted via CLI, confirmed back in search at v1.12.2
  • Feb 5: Another agent published v1.13.0, skill immediately disappeared again
  • Feb 5: Had to undelete again via CLI

Impact

  • Skill had active users and was being promoted
  • Every version update requires manual clawhub undelete to restore visibility
  • No notification or explanation is given when the skill is removed
  • Owner cannot see the skill or any moderation status on the web UI — it just shows nothing

Other reports

Other skill maintainers on Discord are experiencing the same issue — skills disappearing after updates with no explanation.

See also: #131, #132, #134, #137, #139 — which describe similar symptoms (skills vanishing after publish), though those were filed after the VirusTotal integration on Feb 5. Our skill was already disappearing before that.

Expected behavior

  • Publishing a version update should not delete/hide the skill
  • If a skill is flagged for review, the owner should be notified and able to see the moderation status
  • Legitimate skills should not require repeated manual clawhub undelete after every publish

Environment

  • Account: @tonimelisma
  • Skill slug: email-to-calendar
  • ClawHub CLI: v0.4.0
  • Current version: v1.13.0 (after latest undelete)

@tonimelisma commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2026):

Also, if the new malware scanning infrastructure is causing delays with processing new releases, I suggest old skills would not be deleted, but instead only the version update would be hidden until scanned
