Pack Registry

The KruxOS pack registry is the community hub for discovering and installing capability packs.

Registry ships in v0.0.2

v0.0.1 supports local-path installs only (kruxos pack install ./path/to/pack). The community registry, kruxos pack search / kruxos pack info discovery surfaces, GitHub-based publishing flow, seed packs, and the standalone pack-sdk CLI all ship in v0.0.2. The rest of this page describes the v0.0.2 surface.

Browsing packs (v0.0.2)

CLI

# Search for packs
kruxos pack search weather

# Show pack details
kruxos pack info my-weather-pack

Example output:

my-weather-pack v1.1.0
  by github-user · MIT license
  Weather data capabilities for KruxOS agents

  Capabilities:
    weather.current (autonomous) — Current weather for a location
    weather.forecast (autonomous) — Multi-day weather forecast

  Install: kruxos pack install my-weather-pack

Web

Registry architecture (v0.0.2)

The registry that ships in v0.0.2 is a GitHub repository acting as a package index:

graph LR
    A[kruxos pack publish] --> B[GitHub API]
    B --> C[Registry Repository]
    C --> D[metadata.yaml per pack]
    C --> E[Versioned archives]
    F[kruxos pack install] --> C

This approach was chosen for v0.0.2 because:

  • No infrastructure to host or maintain
  • Built-in authentication via GitHub
  • Pull requests for community review
  • Git history for auditability
  • Free and open

A dedicated hosted registry is on the longer-term roadmap.

OpenClaw compatibility

The KruxOS registry can index OpenClaw-compatible skills via the compatibility bridge:

# Install an OpenClaw skill through the bridge
kruxos pack install --openclaw skill-name

The bridge automatically:

  1. Downloads the OpenClaw skill
  2. Wraps it with type inference
  3. Generates capability definitions
  4. Installs it as a regular pack

See Migration from OpenClaw for details.

Pack security

Verification

Every published pack includes a SHA-256 checksum. The CLI verifies integrity on install:

kruxos pack install my-weather-pack

Downloading my-weather-pack v1.1.0...
  ✓ Checksum verified (sha256:abc123...)
  ✓ Installed 2 capabilities

Review process

Packs published to the community registry go through:

  1. Automated checks — schema validation, no name conflicts
  2. Community review — pull request on the registry repo
  3. Signature — author identity verified via GitHub

Secret safety

Pack implementations access secrets via the vault's use-not-read model. The secret value is injected into the execution environment — the pack code never sees the raw secret in a variable it could log or exfiltrate.
