Less than 24 hours after open source release, it was maliciously registered; after complaints were ineffective, the 14k-star Skill creator announced a split from ClawHub.

ME News Report, April 13 (UTC+8), according to 1M AI News monitoring, the author Bao Yu (@dotey) of the popular skills open-source collection baoyu-skills (approximately 14k stars on GitHub) for Claude Code publicly broke with the AI Agent skill registration platform ClawHub on X. He reported that: less than 24 hours after publishing a new Skill baoyu-diagram on GitHub, someone forked the code and registered the same name on ClawHub first, preventing the original author from publishing with his own account. This situation has occurred repeatedly, and multiple of his skills have been snatched by different users. Bao Yu has publicly reported this issue three times since March 10 to Peter Steinberger, founder of the open-source AI Agent tool OpenClaw. Steinberger initially stated that ownership transfer capabilities are available at the code level but require more UI work, and welcomed community pull requests. Bao Yu then proposed two UI solutions. However, today Steinberger’s reply changed tone: “I know this is terrible, but the rule is first come, first served. If we arbitrarily take back names registered by others, this will never end. Unless you have a trademark, then it’s a different matter.” Bao Yu responded, “I completely disagree”: “The ‘first come, first served’ with no protection only means whoever registers first wins, not who is actually working on something.” He stated that his works have been repeatedly snatched, the platform is aware but does nothing, and creators have no reason to continue contributing, announcing he will no longer submit content to ClawHub. He proposed alternative solutions such as namespace ownership and cooling-off periods but received no response. On the same day, Nous Research, co-founder of the open-source AI Agent framework Hermes Agent, proactively invited Bao Yu: if the skill quality is good, it can be included as a built-in optional skill for Hermes Agent, with permanent attribution and exclusive ownership. After Bao Yu shared the repository, Teknium tested it and said the effect was excellent, requesting a private message for further communication. [Original link] (Source: BlockBeats)
