Summary
ZeroClaw merged a new plugin capability that lets plugins ship markdown-only skill bundles instead of requiring a WASM binary. The change lowers the barrier for plugin authors, keeps plugin-provided skills namespaced, and gives ZeroClaw an easier path to growing a skills ecosystem around its plugin system.
What changed
ZeroClaw added a Skill capability for plugin bundles so plugin authors can ship agentskills.io-style skill packages without compiling or attaching a WASM module.
Why it matters
This is an ecosystem expansion move. By separating skills from compiled plugins, ZeroClaw makes it easier for contributors to publish reusable workflows and lowers the cost of marketplace growth around the agent runtime.
