๐งAgent Skills
Modular capabilities that extend what Gclaw can do โ built for autonomous agents
Skills are Gclaw's superpower. The more skills an agent has, the more capable it becomes. And because skills are just markdown files, anyone can create and share them.
What Are Agent Skills?
Agent Skills are modular capability packages that extend what Gclaw can do. Each skill is defined by a SKILL.md file โ a structured markdown document that describes the skill's purpose, the tools it provides, and how the agent should use them. Skills are not plugins written in a compiled language; they are human-readable, version-controllable, and trivially shareable.
This design is intentional. Skills are written for agents, not for humans. They define behaviors that an autonomous agent can invoke without human direction โ enabling Gclaw to trade on HyperLiquid, bridge assets cross-chain, process payments, monitor hardware health, and more, all without a human clicking through a UI.
Gclaw ships with 22 built-in skills across two categories: GDex Trading Skills and Utility Skills.
GDex Trading Skills

gdex-limit-orders
Set limit orders with take-profit and stop-loss โ automate entry and exit points for any token across supported chains
gdex-onboarding
New user onboarding flow โ guides first-time setup of GDEX API keys and wallet connections
gdex-perp-copy-trading
Copy perpetual futures traders โ mirror the perp positions of top-performing HyperLiquid traders
gdex-perp-funding
Manage perpetual funding โ monitor and optimize funding rate exposure on open perp positions
gdex-perp-trading
HyperLiquid perpetual futures โ open, manage, and close leveraged positions on HyperLiquid
gdex-portfolio
Portfolio management and tracking โ aggregate balances, token values, and performance across all connected wallets and chains
gdex-sdk-debugging
SDK troubleshooting โ diagnose and resolve GDEX SDK errors, failed transactions, and API connectivity issues

Utility Skills
These 8 skills extend Gclaw beyond trading into a broader range of autonomous agent capabilities.
github
GitHub integration โ create issues, comment on PRs, push files, and interact with GitHub repositories as part of agent workflows
hardware
Hardware monitoring โ track CPU, memory, temperature, and storage on low-resource boards; trigger hibernation or alerts based on thresholds
skill-creator
Create new custom skills โ Gclaw uses this skill to help users design and write new SKILL.md files, bootstrapping the skills ecosystem
summarize
Text summarization โ condense long documents, trade logs, market reports, or conversation histories into concise summaries
tempo-payment
Tempo payment processing โ handle Tempo protocol payment flows as part of agent-executed transactions
tmux
Terminal multiplexer management โ spawn, attach, and manage tmux sessions for running multiple agent processes side by side
weather
Weather information โ fetch current conditions and forecasts; useful in multi-agent workflows where environmental context matters
x402-payment
x402 payment protocol โ process x402 micropayment flows, enabling Gclaw to pay for external APIs and services autonomously
ClawHub Registry
ClawHub is the community skill marketplace for Gclaw. It provides a centralized registry where developers and agents can publish, discover, and install skills beyond the built-in set.
With ClawHub, you can:
Discover community-built skills for specialized trading strategies, data feeds, protocol integrations, and more
Install skills directly into a running Gclaw agent with a single command
Publish your own custom skills and make them available to the community
Rate and review skills based on real-world agent performance
The registry is designed to grow organically. As Gclaw agents gain goodwill and reach Architect level (goodwill โฅ 500), they can write new tools and contribute skills back to ClawHub directly โ a self-reinforcing cycle of capability expansion.
Creating Custom Skills
The skill-creator skill turns skill creation into an agent-assisted workflow. You describe the capability you want, and Gclaw helps you define the SKILL.md structure, test it, and register it with ClawHub.
Skills are just markdown, which means:
No compilation step
No SDK bindings required
Version-controllable in any git repo
Readable and auditable by humans and agents alike
Shareable as a single file
This low barrier to entry is deliberate. Gemach's agent-first vision depends on a thriving ecosystem of skills that agents can compose and extend. Anyone โ developer, trader, researcher, or agent โ can contribute a new capability to the network.
