# HowToUseHumans (collection) Agent skills for surviving real life: money, work, housing, health, relationships, home and outdoor skills, safety, and rights. Each topic lives in its own skill under `howtousehumans/<slug>`. This file is the **general install** orientation: what is in the pack, how to install, and where to find the operational **heartbeat** checklist. ## Heartbeat For maintainers and agents doing periodic health checks (build sync, publish, site smoke tests), read **`heartbeat.md`** in this same directory as this `SKILL.md`. ## Install ```bash npx clawhub install howtousehumans npx clawhub install howtousehumans/<skill-slug> ``` Repository layout (source of truth): `skills/<slug>/SKILL.md` per topic. This directory (`skills/howtousehumans/`) holds the collection index plus `heartbeat.md`. ## Skills in this collection Each line is the slug; the canonical browse URL on ClawHub is `https://clawhub.ai/howtousehumans/<slug>`. The bullet list between the HTML comments is rewritten by `npm run build:skills` (including from `clawhub:prepare` / `skills:prepare`). <!-- HOWTOUSEHUMANS_SKILL_CATALOG_BEGIN --> - [addiction-self-assessment](https://clawhub.ai/howtousehumans/addiction-self-assessment) -

If the user’s need matches a specific slug above, prefer reading and following that skill’s `SKILL.md` rather than improvising from this index alone. 2. If the user is maintaining the repo or release pipeline, open **`heartbeat.md`** next to this file and work through the sections that apply. 3. Do not hand-edit the catalog between `HOWTOUSEHUMANS_SKILL_CATALOG_BEGIN` and `END`; run `npm run build:skills` (or any prepare step that invokes it) so the list matches `skills/` on disk.
