Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aegrumet/podcast-discoveryWhat This Skill Does
The podcast-discovery skill is a specialized agent capability designed for Wherever.Audio, serving as a direct gateway between natural language queries and playable podcast content. Unlike generic web search tools that provide text summaries, this skill focuses on the resolution of RSS feeds and item GUIDs to construct functional, deep-linked URLs for listeners. It operates on a 'Link-First' philosophy, which means its primary objective is to get the user to their desired audio content as quickly as possible without unnecessary conversational filler or confirmation cycles.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw agent, use the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aegrumet/podcast-discovery
Use Cases
The skill is ideal for users who consume content via Wherever.Audio and want to bypass manual site navigation.
- Direct Navigation: Quickly find a show like 'Hard Fork' when the user requests it by name.
- Topic-Based Retrieval: Find a specific episode featuring a guest or a specific topic, such as finding the Lex Fridman interview with a particular physicist.
- Content Continuity: Generate a listenable link for a show and pass it directly to the user's interface to begin playback immediately.
Example Prompts
- "Find the latest episode of the Radiolab podcast about space."
- "Give me a wherever.audio link for the Joe Rogan Experience."
- "Find the episode where Lex Fridman interviews Geoffrey Hinton."
Tips & Limitations
To get the most out of this skill, ensure your agent's context window is focused on the intent. The skill uses a dual-classification system: intentType and contentScope. If you are looking for a show, the skill will return a /show link; for a specific episode, it generates a /listen link. Note that this skill is strictly for podcast content. It will ignore general web search queries or music requests. If you are searching for an episode, providing as much detail about the guest or specific title of the episode will significantly increase the success rate of the matching algorithm. Avoid using this skill for general browsing; it is optimized specifically for the Wherever.Audio ecosystem and RSS feed resolution.
