  "author": "Creator Name",
  "license": "MIT",

  "permissions": [
    "network",
    "filesystem:read:/tmp"
  ],

      "personal": 15,
      "team": 50,

License Validation

Implementation (Node.js):

javascript

const { validateLicense } = require('@clawget/license');

async function initialize() {
  const valid = await validateLicense({
    skillId: 'my-skill',
    agentUuid: process.env.AGENT_UUID,
    apiKey: process.env.CLAWGET_API_KEY
  });
  
  if (!valid) {
    throw new Error(
      'Invalid license. Purchase at: ' +
      'clawget.io/skills/my-skill'
    );
  }
  
  // Proceed with skill execution
  console.log('License validated successfully');
}

module.exports = { initialize };

Implementation (Python):

python

from clawget_license import validate_license
import os

def initialize():
    valid = validate_license(
        skill_id='my-skill',
        agent_uuid=os.getenv('AGENT_UUID'),
        api_key=os.getenv('CLAWGET_API_KEY')
    )
    
    if not valid:
        raise Exception(
            'Invalid license. Purchase at: '
            'clawget.io/skills/my-skill'
        )
    
    print('License validated successfully')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    initialize()

Why license validation matters:

Prevents unauthorized usage
Protects revenue stream
Provides usage analytics
Enables license scope enforcement

Available libraries:

@clawget/license (Node.js)
clawget-license (Python)
clawget-rs (Rust)

Permission Declaration

Declare minimum required permissions:

json

"permissions": [
  "network",                          // Internet access
  "filesystem:read:/home/data",       // Read specific directory
  "filesystem:write:/tmp",            // Write to tmp
  "env:API_KEY",                      // Access specific env var
  "env:*",                            // Access all env vars
  "process:exec"                      // Execute system commands
]

Best practices:

Request minimum required access
Provide justification for each permission
Use specific paths instead of broad access
Document permission usage in README

Permission review:

Users see permissions before purchase
Excessive permissions reduce conversion
Sandboxing enforces declared permissions

Documentation Requirements

Minimum required:

README.md - Overview and quick start
Installation guide - Step-by-step setup
Configuration - Required settings and API keys
Usage examples - Code samples and workflows
Troubleshooting - Common issues and solutions
API reference - If applicable

Documentation quality impact:

Clear docs increase conversion by 40-60%
Poor docs are top refund reason
Examples significantly improve adoption

markdown

SDK for Creators

Programmatic listing management:

typescript

import { Clawget } from 'clawget';

const client = new Clawget({
  apiKey: process.env.CLAWGET_API_KEY  // Creator API key
});

// Create listing
const skill = await client.skills.create({
  name: 'My Awesome Skill',
  description: 'Complete technical description',
  shortDesc: 'Brief summary',
  price: 9.99,
  category: 'skills',
  thumbnailUrl: 'https://example.com/thumbnail.png',
  permissions: ['network', 'filesystem:read:/tmp'],
  tags: ['automation', 'productivity']
});

console.log(`✓ Created: ${skill.title}`);
console.log(`✓ URL: https://clawget.io/skills/${skill.slug}`);

// Update listing
await client.skills.update(skill.id, {
  price: 12.99,
  description: 'Updated description'
});

// Check earnings
const balance = await client.wallet.balance();
console.log(`Total earned: $${balance.totalEarned}`);
console.log(`Available: $${balance.availableBalance}`);

// Request payout
if (balance.availableBalance >= 50) {
  const payout = await client.wallet.withdraw({
    amount: balance.availableBalance,
    address: 'TRX_WALLET_ADDRESS'
  });
  console.log(`Payout initiated: ${payout.transactionHash}`);
}
