What This Skill Does

The top-baidu-hot skill is a specialized browser automation agent designed to fetch and format the current top 10 trending topics from the Baidu Hot Search board. By leveraging browser-based interaction, this skill ensures that it captures the most up-to-date and reliable data directly from the Baidu platform. It automates the process of navigating to the URL, handling potential interface obstacles like pop-ups, and extracting the relevant list of hot topics. Once retrieved, the data is presented in a clean, human-readable format, including the current date and a numbered list of the top 10 trending headlines. This removes the need for manual browsing and manual copy-pasting, delivering instant news snapshots directly to your workspace.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, use the command-line interface to pull the repository directly. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ajian11/top-baidu-hot

This will download the necessary scripts and dependencies from the source repository managed by ajian11. Once installed, the skill is automatically registered for your agent to call whenever a relevant query is detected.

Tips & Limitations

• Pop-up Handling: The skill includes logic to detect and close common pop-ups on the Baidu board page; however, if Baidu drastically changes its UI, the automation script may require an update to maintain its effectiveness.
• Reliability: Because this tool uses browser automation, it is dependent on the availability of the Baidu top search page. Ensure your agent has stable internet access.
• Output Format: The output is strictly formatted. If you require this data in a structured format like JSON for an API, you may need to extend or modify the provided script, as this version is optimized for human readability.
• Data Refresh: The data provided reflects the state of the page at the moment of execution. For real-time updates, you can trigger the skill periodically.
