+# SkillHub Python Examples
+
+A minimal, dependency-light (`requests`-only) Python client and runnable
+examples for the SkillHub REST API. Use it to **search, inspect, download,
+and publish** skills from Python — the same operations the ClawHub CLI
+performs, without shelling out to the CLI.
+
+> These are reference examples, not (yet) an officially published pip
+> package. See [iflytek/skillhub#701](https://github.com/iflytek/skillhub/issues/701)
+> for the discussion on whether to ship a full published SDK.
+
+## Files
+
+| File | What it is |
+|------|------------|
+| [`skillhub_client.py`](./skillhub_client.py) | A small `SkillHubClient` class wrapping the REST API |
+| [`example_usage.py`](./example_usage.py) | Runnable script: search → resolve → download, and publish |
+| [`requirements.txt`](./requirements.txt) | The only dependency: `requests` |
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Point at your SkillHub instance
+export SKILLHUB_URL=https://skill.example.com
+# Only needed for write operations (publish / star / rate)
+export SKILLHUB_TOKEN=<your-api-token>
+```
+
+Generate an API token from the SkillHub web UI (**Settings → API Tokens**) or
+via `POST /api/v1/tokens`.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```python
+from skillhub_client import SkillHubClient
+
+client = SkillHubClient()  # reads SKILLHUB_URL / SKILLHUB_TOKEN from env
+
+# Search public skills
+results = client.search(keyword="email", size=5)
+
+# Inspect and resolve a version
+detail = client.get_skill("my-namespace", "my-skill")
+resolved = client.resolve("my-namespace", "my-skill", tag="stable")
+
+# Download the latest package (returns the written file path)
+path = client.download("my-namespace", "my-skill")
+
+# Publish a skill package (requires a token)
+client.publish("./my-skill.zip", namespace="my-namespace")
+```
+
+Or run the end-to-end script:
+
+```bash
+python example_usage.py                          # search + inspect + download
+python example_usage.py publish ./my-skill.zip my-namespace
+```
+
+## Supported operations
+
+| Method | Endpoint | Auth |
+|--------|----------|------|
+| `search(keyword, namespace, page, size)` | `GET /api/v1/skills` | — |
+| `get_skill(namespace, slug)` | `GET /api/v1/skills/{ns}/{slug}` | — |
+| `list_versions(namespace, slug)` | `GET /api/v1/skills/{ns}/{slug}/versions` | — |
+| `resolve(namespace, slug, version, tag)` | `GET /api/v1/skills/{ns}/{slug}/resolve` | — |
+| `download(namespace, slug, version, dest)` | `GET /api/v1/skills/{ns}/{slug}[/versions/{v}]/download` | — |
+| `whoami()` | `GET /api/v1/whoami` | Bearer |
+| `publish(zip_path, namespace, request_id)` | `POST /api/v1/publish` | Bearer |
+| `star(namespace, slug)` | `POST /api/v1/skills/{ns}/{slug}/star` | Bearer |
+| `rate(namespace, slug, score)` | `POST /api/v1/skills/{ns}/{slug}/rating` | Bearer |
+
+The client unwraps the unified `{code, msg, data}` response envelope
+automatically and raises `SkillHubError` on a non-zero business code.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Write operations accept an optional `request_id` (a UUID) that is sent as
+  the `X-Request-Id` header for idempotency.
+- For the full API surface (namespaces, reviews, promotion, tags), see the
+  [Developer Docs → API](https://iflytek.github.io/skillhub/) and
+  [`document/docs/04-developer/api`](../../document/docs/04-developer/api).
