description

Generate OpenClaw Spellbook YAML theme mappings from a topic (game/movie/franchise/etc.) or a URL. Use when you need to create or refresh a themed spell mapping file under /spells with broad coverage of popular skills (default top 50). The generator now performs dynamic spell-list reference discovery first (searching for spell lists/APIs and parsing discovered JSON/HTML sources), then uses lore/context as secondary style input and falls back to heuristic spell names when references fail. NOTE: This skill generates YAML mapping files — to use the spells in agent sessions, you need the openclaw-spellbook hook installed (see wynnsu/openclaw-spellbook).

Magic Quill

A magical quill that inscribes themed spell mappings for OpenClaw Spellbook with high coverage for popular skills.

Inputs

• --topic <name> or --url <https://...> (primary inputs; spell-list lookup searches by topic/theme first, and --url is treated as a high-priority reference candidate when provided)
• Optional --theme <name> to override the final theme name (or run heuristic-only mode with just --theme)
• Optional --out <path> (alias: --output) (default: spells/<theme-slug>.yaml)
• Optional --limit <n> (alias: --top) for top-N coverage (default: 50)
• Optional --author <name> (default: @magic-quill)

What To Do

1. Gather popular skills from both sources when possible:
   • skills.sh trending installs
   • ClawHub downloads API endpoint
2. Merge and de-duplicate the results into a target set (fill gaps from built-in fallback skills if fetch fails).
3. Gather spell-list references first (primary spell source):
   • Build dynamic web search queries from topic/theme (for example <topic> spell list and <topic> spells api)
   • Parse top search result links (DuckDuckGo HTML results) into candidate reference URLs
   • Include --url as a high-priority candidate when present
   • Fetch discovered JSON/HTML references (for example dnd5eapi.co if discovered), extract spell names, and merge/de-duplicate names from successful references
4. Gather lore/context (secondary style keywords only):
   • If --url is provided, fetch and extract page text
   • Else if --topic is provided, try Wikipedia summary API
   • If fetch fails, use built-in theme lexicon/heuristics
5. If spell-list references fail or do not produce enough names, generate spell mappings with the built-in heuristic spell-name generator.
6. Write YAML to the requested output path (usually under spells/), including # spell-list-references: comment links for successful dynamically discovered spell-list sources/endpoints when available.
7. Validate with npm run validate:spells if the output file is under spells/.

Install From This Repo (Subpath)

Use a repo subpath source with npx skills add, for example:

npx skills add wynnsu/openclaw-spellbook/magic-quill

⚠️ Requires Hook for Use

This skill generates spell YAML mapping files — to actually use the themed spells in agent sessions, you need the openclaw-spellbook hook installed. Install the full spellbook package:

# Install the spellbook hook (includes magic-quill skill)
npx skills add wynnsu/openclaw-spellbook

Or install just the hook directly from the repo:

npx skills add wynnsu/openclaw-spellbook/hooks/spellbook

The hook handles the translation between magical spell names and actual skill IDs at runtime.

Usage after install (example prompt):

Use magic-quill to create a Star Wars spell mapping with top 50 coverage and write it to spells/star-wars.yaml.
