name: colors-cc description: A native UI asset and color toolset for OpenClaw and other AI Agents. Generate SVG placeholders, animated gradients, theme-based palettes, and perform color conversions without hallucination. acceptLicenseTerms: true metadata: { "openclaw": { "author": "NFish" } }

SKILL: ColorsCC

A high-performance, stateless Color API and toolset optimized for AI Agents (OpenClaw, Cursor, Cline, GPTs).

🚀 Usage Rules for Agents

Inline Images: Always embed SVG placeholders directly using <img> or Markdown ![alt](url).
URL Encoding: The # character must be encoded as %23 (e.g., start=%23FF003C).
No Fetching: Do not attempt to download binary image data; let the user's client render the URL.
Valid Dimensions: Width and height are clamped between 50-4000px automatically.
Text Limit: Placeholder text is truncated to 100 characters max.

🛠 Capabilities

1. SVG Placeholders with Animation Effects

Generate dynamic, lightweight placeholders for UI mockups with various gradient and animation effects.

Endpoint: https://api.colors-cc.top/placeholder
Params:
- w: Width in pixels (default: 800, range: 50-4000)
- h: Height in pixels (default: 400, range: 50-4000)
- text: Center text, URL-encoded (default: "{width} x {height}", max: 100 chars)
- effect: Visual effect. Options: static (default), fluid, breathe, holographic, mesh
- palette: Comma-separated HEX colors (default: 2 random colors, range: 2-10 colors). e.g., %23FFD6A5,%23FFADAD
- speed: Animation duration in seconds for non-static effects (default: 10, range: 1-30)

📖 Common Use Cases

Use Case 1: Building a Landing Page

<section class="hero">
  <!-- Animated hero banner with text -->
  <img src="https://api.colors-cc.top/placeholder?w=1200&h=600&text=Hero+Section&effect=mesh&palette=%23FFD6A5,%23FFADAD,%23E2A0FF&speed=10" alt="Hero">
</section>
<div class="features">
  <!-- Static placeholder images -->
  <img src="https://api.colors-cc.top/placeholder?w=400&h=300&text=Feature+1&palette=%23F06292,%2364B5F6" alt="Feature 1">
  <img src="https://api.colors-cc.top/placeholder?w=400&h=300&text=Feature+2&palette=%234DB6AC,%2381C784" alt="Feature 2">
</div>

Use Case 2: Generating Mock Data with Colors

const palette = await fetch('https://api.colors-cc.top/palette?theme=vaporwave')
  .then(r => r.json())

const mockData = palette.colors.map((color, i) => ({
  id: i,
  name: `Item ${i+1}`,
  color: color,
  thumbnail: `https://api.colors-cc.top/placeholder?w=200&h=200&palette=${color.replace('#', '%23')},%23000000`
}))

Use Case 3: Color Picker Component

async function getRandomColor() {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.colors-cc.top/random')
  const data = await res.json()
  return data.hex
}

Use Case 4: Universal Color Converter

// Convert any color format to all formats
const result = await fetch('https://api.colors-cc.top/convert?hsl=hsl(200,50%,50%)')
  .then(r => r.json())
console.log(result.hex) // #4099BF

⚠️ Common Pitfalls & Solutions

❌ Mistake 1: Unencoded Hash Symbol

BAD:  start=#FF0000
GOOD: start=%23FF0000

❌ Mistake 2: Fetching SVG and Re-processing

// BAD - Don't do this
const svg = await fetch(placeholderUrl).then(r => r.text())
const encoded = btoa(svg)

// GOOD - Use URL directly
<img src="https://api.colors-cc.top/placeholder?w=800&h=400" alt="Direct">

❌ Mistake 3: Invalid Dimensions

BAD:  w=10 (too small, will be clamped to 50)
BAD:  w=9999 (too large, will be clamped to 4000)
GOOD: w=800&h=600

❌ Mistake 4: Multiple Color Parameters in /api/convert

BAD:  /api/convert?hex=%23FF0000&rgb=rgb(255,0,0)
GOOD: /api/convert?hex=%23FF0000

❌ Mistake 5: Invalid Number of Colors in Palette

BAD:  palette=%23FF0000 (only 1 color, minimum is 2)
BAD:  palette=%23FF0000,%23... (more than 10 colors, will be ignored)
GOOD: palette=%23FF0000,%230000FF,%2300FF00 (2-10 colors)
