- Explore plugins by category: testing, refactoring, documentation, git workflows, and more
AMP vs ClawdBot — FAQ
Should I pick AMP or ClawdBot?
It depends on where you work. AMP is sourcegraph's agentic coding tool, while ClawdBot is community ai coding agent. Many developers use both and share skills across them via BuySkills — so the choice is less binary than it used to be.
Can I use the same plugins in AMP and ClawdBot?
Yes. BuySkills is designed for cross-agent portability. Install a skill once with the BuySkills CLI and it becomes available in both AMP and ClawdBot — and every other supported agent — without a second purchase or install.
How is installing BuySkills skills different between AMP and ClawdBot?
It isn't, from your side. You run `npx buyskills install <skill>`, and the CLI writes the skill to the directory each agent reads from. AMP and ClawdBot pick up the skill without any extra config.
Does AMP's agent run BuySkills skills on indexed codebases?
Yes. AMP calls BuySkills skills as part of its agent plan, and the skills have access to the same indexed codebase context that AMP's native tools do. That makes refactor and analysis skills especially powerful in AMP.
Is BuySkills overkill for ClawdBot's lightweight workflows?
Not really. BuySkills CLI is itself lightweight — one command to install, one to update. Using BuySkills means you get versioning and cross-agent portability for free, even in small workflows.
Still deciding?
Install BuySkills CLI once and the skills you discover today work in whichever agent you pick tomorrow.
