+## Paid skills
+
+- ClawHub does not support paid skills, per-skill pricing, paywalls, or revenue sharing.
+- Do not add pricing metadata to `SKILL.md`; it is not part of the skill format and will not make a published skill paid.
+- If your skill integrates with a paid third-party service, document the external cost and required account clearly in the skill instructions and `requires.env`.
