clawvisual

Use clawvisual as a callable skill for agent workflows. It can auto-start a local web/MCP service and expose stable CLI commands for generation and job polling.

Quick start

npm install -g clawvisual
clawvisual set CLAWVISUAL_LLM_API_KEY "your_openrouter_key"
clawvisual initialize
clawvisual convert --input "https://example.com/article" --slides auto
clawvisual status --job <job_id>

For local repo usage, you can also run:

npm run skill:clawvisual -- initialize

What it does

• Convert URL or direct long-form text into social carousel output.
• Provide job-based async workflow (convert -> status --job).
• Support revision operations (revise, regenerate-cover).
• Expose MCP JSON-RPC tools for OpenClaw and other agent runtimes.

Commands

• clawvisual initialize: probe/start local service and print Web URL.
• clawvisual status: check service identity (must be clawvisual).
• clawvisual tools: list MCP tools.
• clawvisual convert --input <text_or_url> [--slides auto|1-8] [--ratio 4:5|1:1|9:16|16:9] [--lang <code>]
• clawvisual status --job <job_id>: query job state and result.
• clawvisual revise --job <job_id> --instruction <text> [--intent rewrite_copy_style|regenerate_cover|regenerate_slides]
• clawvisual regenerate-cover (--job <job_id> [--instruction <text>] | --prompt <text>) [--ratio 4:5|1:1|9:16|16:9]
• clawvisual call --name <tool_name> --args <json>: raw tool invocation.

Config

Optional local config file:

• ~/.clawvisual/config.json

Manage config with CLI:

clawvisual set CLAWVISUAL_LLM_API_KEY "your_key"
clawvisual get CLAWVISUAL_LLM_API_KEY
clawvisual config
clawvisual unset CLAWVISUAL_LLM_API_KEY

Supported keys:

• CLAWVISUAL_LLM_API_KEY (alias: LLM_API_KEY)
• CLAWVISUAL_LLM_API_URL (alias: LLM_API_URL)
• CLAWVISUAL_LLM_MODEL (alias: LLM_MODEL)
• CLAWVISUAL_MCP_URL (alias: MCP_URL)
• CLAWVISUAL_API_KEY

When auto-starting local service, CLAWVISUAL_LLM_* values are mapped to runtime LLM_* envs.

Workflow pattern

1. initialize
2. convert
3. Poll status --job <job_id> until completion
4. Optional revise / regenerate-cover
5. Poll revised job with status --job

Output contract

All commands return JSON to stdout for deterministic parsing by upstream agents.
