Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
This skill helps you discover, install, update, merge, and publish AI skills through Nacos using the nacos-cli tool.
How it works
The skill provides guidance on interacting with Nacos via the nacos-cli commands:
nacos-cli skill-listto search/list skillsnacos-cli skill-get <name>to download and install skills locallynacos-cli skill-upload <path>to upload a skill and create an editing draftnacos-cli skill-review <name> [--version <version>]to submit a draft for reviewnacos-cli skill-release <name> --version <version>to publish a reviewed version onlinenacos-cli skill-describe <name>to inspect metadata and per-version status The behavioral flow also covers profile setup, connectivity checks, and multi-profile management, including using environment-based sts-hiclaw authentication or local profiles, with commands to test connectivity (nacos-cli skill-listandnacos-cli profile show).
When to use it
Use this skill when the user:
- wants to find or install a skill from Nacos
- needs to upload/publish a local skill to Nacos
- requires merging local edits with remote updates and publishing
- asks about available skills or how to describe a skill
- needs to configure or verify nacos-cli profiles and connectivity
What it can touch
- Command-line interface:
nacos-cli - Filesystem locations: local skill directories (e.g.,
~/.skills/<skill-name>), local nacos-cli profiles (e.g.,~/.nacos-cli/<profile>.conf) - Remote registry via nacos-cli commands and the lifecycle of upload, review, and release for skills
Caveats
- Guidance references the lifecycle for version 1.0.4 (upload → review → release) and notes deprecation of
skill-publishin favor of the described flow - Instructions emphasize not embedding real credentials in shared docs; credentials must be provided by the user on their machine
- The tool and commands must be used exactly as specified in the skill (e.g.,
nacos-cli skill-get,nacos-cli skill-upload, etc.)

Where does this skill come from?
From alibaba/nacos, a repository with 33,235 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
