About AcaClaw Hub
AcaClaw Hub is the website at acaclaw.com for downloading AcaClaw and sharing skills. AcaClaw is a pre-shipped distribution of OpenClaw with high-quality, well-tested, organization-maintained skills for every academic discipline.
What is AcaClaw?
AcaClaw is an academic distribution of OpenClaw. Like Ubuntu is to Linux, AcaClaw is to OpenClaw: one install gives you paper search, data analysis, citation management, figure generation, and more — for students, researchers, and educators. No coding required.
The academic model for AI skills
Every AcaClaw skill is built by a team — creator, author, tester, maintainer, debugger, reviewer, documenter. All skills are published to ClawHub under the @acaclaw organization. ClawHub is the journal (publisher), contributors are the authors, @acaclaw is the editorial board — guaranteeing quality, while credit belongs to individuals.
This hub is the dedicated showcase: browse skills, meet the people who built them, and see every contribution with role-specific credit.
