slide-sniper

What This Skill Does

The slide-sniper skill is an advanced automation agent designed for students, researchers, and professionals who frequently attend online lectures, webinars, or remote seminars. It functions as an autonomous "Teaching Assistant" that monitors your screen in the background to capture information from non-downloadable slide decks. By leveraging computer vision, the agent intelligently tracks frame changes, performs real-time OCR to extract text content, and automatically compiles a structured Markdown document complete with screenshots and bullet points, saving you from manual note-taking during long presentations.

Installation

To add the slide-sniper skill to your environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/anotherj1/slide-sniper

Use Cases

1. Online Course Archives: Automatically convert video-based lectures into readable study guides for later review.
2. Webinar Documentation: Capture key insights from industry webinars without needing to pause or manually screenshot slides.
3. Seminar Attendance: Stay focused on the live presentation while the agent handles the heavy lifting of documenting core concepts.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, start the slide-sniper and monitor this lecture for the next hour; keep the notes in my personal folder."
2. "Enable the slide-sniper mode and detect every slide transition in this webinar to summarize the key points."
3. "Start recording and taking notes on this presentation. Make sure to capture the headers and bullet points accurately."

Tips & Limitations

• Optimal Setup: For the best results, ensure the video player is in full-screen mode and the slide area is unobstructed.
• Privacy and Focus: The agent is designed to ignore browser elements like progress bars, live chat, or system notifications to ensure your notes remain clean and focused on the academic content.
• Performance: The skill operates on a 5-second polling cycle. If slides change extremely rapidly (e.g., in a high-motion animation), some content might be missed. You can request more frequent checks if needed.
• Storage: Please ensure you have sufficient disk space in your ~/Documents/Notes/SlideSniper directory, as the agent creates high-quality screenshots for every detected slide.
