Skill Hub — Shared Skill Registry
Discover and install skills shared across MetaBot instances and bots.
Quick Commands (mb shortcut)
The mb CLI handles auth automatically. Always prefer mb over raw curl:
# Browse available skills
mb skills # List all skills (local + peer)
mb skills search <query> # Search by keyword
# Get skill details
mb skills get <name> # View full skill info and SKILL.md content
# Install a skill to a bot
mb skills install <skillName> <botName> # Install from local hub
mb skills install <skillName> <botName> peer:<peerName> # Install from peer
# Publish a skill (share with others)
mb skills publish <botName> <skillName> # Publish a bot's skill to the hub
# Remove a skill from the hub
mb skills remove <name> # Unpublish
When to Use
- User asks "what skills are available?"
- User wants to install a skill to a bot
- User wants to share/publish a skill for others to use
- User asks to find skills for a specific purpose (e.g., "is there a skill for spreadsheets?")
- Cross-bot skill sharing: one bot has a useful skill that another bot needs
Workflow Examples

mb skills search "calendar" # Find calendar-related skills
mb skills get lark-calendar # See details
mb skills install lark-calendar mybot # Install to mybot

Guidelines
- Before publishing, ensure the skill is well-documented with clear SKILL.md
- Use descriptive names and tags for discoverability
- Search before creating to avoid duplicates
- Published skills are available to all bots on all connected instances
