What This Skill Does

The grok-imagine skill for OpenClaw integrates the powerful xAI Grok Imagine Extended suite directly into your workflow. It allows you to generate high-fidelity images and dynamic videos through simple natural language commands. Whether you need an illustration for a presentation, a stylized edit of an existing photograph, or an animated clip from a static source, this skill handles the heavy lifting by interfacing with the xAI API. It automates the process of image creation, file path handling, and video polling, providing a seamless bridge between your intent and visual output.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ademczuk/grok-imagine-extended

Ensure your XAI_API_KEY is configured either as an environment variable, within your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json configuration file, or present in ~/keys.txt to enable authentication with the xAI services.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for creators, developers, and researchers. Common use cases include:

• Generating original concept art for game or project development.
• Applying artistic filters or modifiers to existing images using prompt-based editing.
• Creating short-form marketing videos or social media assets from textual prompts.
• Transforming static product photos into engaging, animated sequences with camera motion.
• Prototyping visual ideas quickly with high-quality resolution settings.

Example Prompts

1. "Generate an image of a futuristic cyberpunk city at night with neon lights, set the resolution to 2k and use a 16:9 aspect ratio."
2. "Animate this photo of a meadow, add a gentle camera zoom and some wind effects to the grass, keep it to 5 seconds."
3. "Create a professional-looking watercolor painting based on this source image of my office desk."

Tips & Limitations

• Filenames: Always use descriptive, timestamped filenames (e.g., 2026-03-01-project-concept.png) to keep your output directory organized.
• Async Operations: Video generation is an asynchronous process; be prepared for the script to poll for status, which may take between 1 to 5 minutes depending on load.
• Costs: Be mindful of the tiered pricing; grok-imagine-image-pro is significantly more detailed but carries a higher cost than the default model.
• Limits: When editing images, you are limited to a maximum of 3 input images for generation or 1 for video animation. The system automatically handles image downloading from temporary URLs to ensure your files persist locally.
