Telemetry

ClawHub uses minimal CLI telemetry to compute aggregate skill and plugin install counts.

​
When telemetry is collected

Telemetry is only sent when:
  • You are logged in in the CLI.
  • You run clawhub install <slug>, or complete an authenticated openclaw plugins install clawhub:<package> install.
  • Telemetry is not disabled (see “How to disable” below).
If you are not logged in, nothing is reported.

​
What we collect

After a skill or plugin has installed and its local install record has been persisted, the CLI sends one best-effort install event. The event includes:
  • The installed skill slug or canonical plugin package name.
  • version: the installed version, when known.

​
What we do not collect

  • No folder paths or folder-derived identifiers.
  • No file contents.
  • No per-run logs, prompts, or other CLI output.

​
Install counts

For skills, ClawHub maintains:
  • installsAllTime: unique users who have reported at least one CLI install for the skill.
  • installsCurrent: unique users who have reported an install and have not deleted their telemetry.
For plugins, ClawHub counts the first successful install reported by each user and package. Repeated installs and updates refresh the recorded version without increasing the aggregate install count.

​
Transparency + user controls

Everyone only sees aggregated install counters. Deleting your account also deletes your telemetry data and removes its contribution from install counters.

How to disable telemetry

Set the environment variable:
With this set, the CLI will not send install telemetry.
