# Blog Generator | OpenClaw Skill ## Description Analyzes journal entries and chat history to identify high-value topics and automatically generate blog posts. # Blog Generator | OpenClaw Skill Automatically generates blog posts by analyzing journal entries, chat history, and recent activity to identify high-value, high-search-volume topics related to OpenClaw. ## Usage - As a scheduled cron job to automatically generate blog content weekly or daily - Manually to create blog posts from recent journal analysis - To identify and document high-value solutions and discoveries ```bash # X-format articles as HTML; humanizer runs between generations; header from visual-explainer python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/blog-generator/scripts/blog_generator.py # Skip humanizer (e.g. no OPENROUTER_API_KEY) python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/blog-generator/scripts/blog_generator.py --no-humanize # Custom humanizer or visual-explainer paths python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/blog-generator/scripts/blog_generator.py --humanizer-path /Users/ghost/Downloads/humanizer-1.0.0 --visual-explainer-path /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/visual-explainer-main # Classic format (overview/problem/solution), still HTML python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/blog-generator/scripts/blog_generator.py --format classic # JSON output python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/blog-generator/scripts/blog_generator.py --days 14 --max-topics 5 --json ``` ## What this skill does - **Scans** journal entries from the last N days for interesting topics (discoveries, obstacles, solutions) - **Identifies** high-value topics based on keyword relevance and problem-solving value - **Researches** search volume and keyword opportunities (heuristic-based, can be enhanced with APIs) - **Generates** structured blog posts with overview, problem, solution, and takeaways sections - **Saves** blog posts to `/Users/ghost/.openclaw/blogs/` as HTML only (X-article format, header from visual-explainer, humanizer between generations) ## Integration as a Cron Job This skill is designed to run periodically (daily or weekly) via OpenClaw cron to automatically generate blog content. **Example Cron Job Configuration (Daily):** ```json { "payload": { "kind": "agentTurn", "message": "Run blog-generator skill to analyze journal entries and generate high-value blog posts.", "model": "openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-flash", "thinking": "low", "timeoutSeconds": 300 }, "schedule": { "kind": "cron", "cron": "0 9 * * *" }, "delivery": { "mode": "announce" }, "sessionTarget": "isolated", "name": "Blog Post Generator" } ``` **Example Cron Job Configuration (Weekly):** ```json { "payload": { "kind": "agentTurn", "message": "Run blog-generator skill with --days 7 --max-topics 3 to generate weekly blog posts from journal analysis.", "model": "openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-flash", "thinking": "low", "timeoutSeconds": 300 }, "schedule": { "kind": "cron", "cron": "0 10 * * 1" }, "delivery": { "mode": "announce" }, "sessionTarget": "isolated", "name": "Weekly Blog Generator" } ``` ## Output Format **HTML only** (no Markdown). Output is in the format accepted by X articles: one header (from visual-explainer), then article body with no interlaced visuals. - **File:** `/Users/ghost/.openclaw/blogs/YYYYMMDD_slugified-title.html` - **Article structure:** **X-style** (long-form): punchy hook, short paragraphs, "two types of people" framing, pivot, stakes. Use `--format classic` for overview/problem/solution. - **Header:** From visual-explainer only. Default path: `/Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/visual-explainer-main`. The skill’s `scripts/generate_header.py` is called with `section: "header"` and returns an `html_snippet` (hero with title and optional summary). No diagrams or images in the body. - **Humanizer:** Runs **between generations** by default. Each article’s body is sent through `/Users/ghost/Downloads/humanizer-1.0.0` (requires `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`) before rendering to HTML. Use `--no-humanize` to skip. ## Topic Scoring Topics are scored based on: - **High-value keywords**: OpenClaw-specific terms, problem-solving language - **Content type**: Solutions score highest, then obstacles, then discoveries - **Content depth**: Longer, more detailed content scores higher - **Search volume indicators**: Keywords like "how to", "tutorial", "fix" increase value ## Requirements - Journal entries in `/Users/ghost/.openclaw/journal/` - Blogs directory writable at `/Users/ghost/.openclaw/blogs/` - Chat history analyzer skill (for journal entries) ## How it works 1. Scans journal directory for markdown files from the last N days 2. Extracts topics from discoveries, obstacles, and solutions sections 3. Scores topics based on keyword relevance and value 4. Selects top N high-value topics 5. Generates structured blog posts with problem/solution format 6. Saves posts to blogs directory with timestamped filenames ## Enhancement Opportunities - Integrate with Google Keyword Planner API for real search volume data - Use AI model to enhance blog post quality and SEO optimization - Cross-reference with existing blog posts to avoid duplicates - Generate multiple variations of posts for A/B testing
