# 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:**
```bash
# 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
### Finding and installing a skill
```bash
mb skills search "calendar" # Find calendar-related skills
mb skills get lark-calendar # See details
mb skills install lark-calendar mybot # Install to mybot
```
### Publishing a bot's skill
```bash
mb skills publish whis data-analysis # Share whis's data-analysis skill
mb skills # Verify it's listed
```
### Installing from a peer instance
```bash
mb skills # See all skills including peer skills
mb skills install data-viz mybot peer:alice # Install from peer "alice"
```
## 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
