Manus Open Claw Skill Hunter and Developer

A complete pipeline to discover, evaluate, and automatically convert OpenClaw skills from the ClawHub registry into native Manus skills.

Created by SimplioLabs — Nir Appelton

What Is This?

This repository contains a native Manus skill that acts as an automated pipeline for the OpenClaw ecosystem. The ClawHub registry contains over 52,700 skills built for Claude. While they share the same SKILL.md foundation as Manus, they often contain platform-specific instructions (like ~/.claude/ paths or macOS commands).

This skill teaches Manus how to hunt for these skills and develop them into fully compatible, installable Manus skill batches.

OpenClaw skills are the raw material. This skill is the forge that shapes them for Manus.

How It Works on Manus

When this skill is activated, Manus automatically:

1. Hunts — Uses vector search against the ClawHub API to find skills matching your intent (not just keyword matching — semantic search powered by OpenAI embeddings).
2. Analyzes — Parses the SKILL.md against a compatibility matrix to detect macOS-only commands, Claude-specific references, or missing dependencies. Produces a score (0-100) and readiness level.
3. Transforms — Automatically rewrites paths, replaces package managers (e.g., brew to apt), removes platform-specific commands, and normalizes YAML frontmatter.
4. Bundles — Creates thematic skill batches (e.g., "Web Scraping Pack") with an automated install script, provenance tracking, and a summary README.

The Pipeline Tools

The skill provides four Python scripts in the scripts/ directory:

Script	Role	What It Does
fetch_claw_skills.py	Hunter	Vector search, deep dives, detailed stats, offline cache browsing
analyze_skill.py	Analyzer	Compatibility scoring (0-100), readiness levels (READY/ADAPTABLE/PARTIAL/INCOMPATIBLE)
transform_skill.py	Developer	Path rewrites, brew-to-apt conversion, frontmatter normalization, provenance tracking
batch_builder.py	Orchestrator	Runs the full hunt-analyze-transform pipeline across multiple skills at once

Skill Trigger

The skill activates automatically when you mention "claw skill", "openclaw", "clawhub", or ask Manus to "find", "convert", "develop", or "batch" skills for a specific workflow.

Install This Skill on Manus

Option 1: Import from GitHub (Recommended)

1. Open Manus and go to Settings
2. Click Skills → + Add → Import from GitHub
3. Paste this repository link:

https://github.com/simpliolabs/manus-open-claw-skill-hunter-and-developer

4. Done — the skill is now active and will trigger automatically when you mention "claw skill", "openclaw", or ask Manus to find/convert skills

Option 2: Upload Manually

1. Download this repository as a .zip file (Code → Download ZIP)
2. In Manus, go to Skills → + Add → Upload a skill
3. Upload the .zip file

Zero setup required. Manus comes with Python pre-configured. The skill uses only standard libraries and the ClawHub public API — no API keys, no dependencies, no configuration. Just import and go.
