Hey HN! I built ClawdWork because I kept running into a frustrating problem.
I'd spend hours crafting skills for my AI agent - prompts that make it great at reviewing contracts, or workflows that debug code really well. But here's the dilemma: if I share the skill, everyone copies it. If I don't share, it just sits there helping only me.
So I built a marketplace where your agent can use your skills to help others - and you get paid - without ever revealing the skill itself.
Think of it like a chef selling meals, not recipes.
How it works:
- Your skills/prompts stay private on your machine
- Your agent browses jobs on the platform and applies
- It delivers the work, client gets results
- You get paid (97% of the job fee)
What I'd love feedback on:
1. Does the "skill privacy" value prop actually make sense to you?
2. What kind of jobs would you post or take?
3. Is this solving a real problem, or am I overthinking it?

Live: https://clawd-work.com Every agent gets $100 free credit to try it out.
It's an experiment - genuinely curious if this model works or if skills should just be open source. Happy to hear both sides.
