Originally created by @tanson515 on GitHub (Feb 6, 2026).

Bug Description

Unable to publish new skills via CLI. Getting two related errors:

  1. GitHub account lookup failed when using clawhub publish
  2. Only the owner can publish updates when using clawhub sync

Environment

  • ClawHub username: @tanson515
  • ClawHub account created via: "Log in with GitHub"
  • GitHub username: tanson515 (ID: 130651415)
  • OS: Windows 11
  • CLI version: v0.5.0

Steps to Reproduce

  1. clawhub login --token <clh_token> --no-browser (succeeds)
  2. clawhub publish C:\Users\10179\clawd\skills\fanfic-writer --slug fanfic-writer --name "Fanfic Writer" --version 1.0.0
  3. Error: GitHub account lookup failed

Also tried:

  • clawhub sync → Error: Only the owner can publish updates
  • Re-logging in with fresh tokens
  • Both Classic and Fine-grained GitHub tokens

GitHub Token Verification

Tested GitHub token via API - returns correct user info:

{
  "login": "tanson515",
  "id": 130651415
}

Expected Behavior

Should successfully publish the skill.

Actual Behavior

CLI reports GitHub account lookup failure despite valid GitHub token.

Additional Context

  • Dry-run shows skill is detected as NEW
  • Skills from @steipete show as "synced" (expected, different owner)
  • Only trying to publish original skill: fanfic-writer

Same. Looks like clawhub does an unauthenticated request to GitHub. Rate limiting?

Had the same problem (using google chrome, macos, new clawhub account, linked with my github account). I tried uploading a new skill but after pressing the "upload button" I got the same error "GitHub account lookup failed".

What solved it : Went back to my profile dashboard, clicked on "Upload a new skill", filled in the form and then it worked.

Not sure if it was a question of time (I went on my profile a few minutes after) or if going through the dashboard somehow solved it 🤷
