doubao-launch

What This Skill Does

The doubao-launch skill is a specialized automation tool designed for the OpenClaw AI agent to interface with the Doubao desktop application on Windows. Its primary purpose is to automate the startup sequence of the application and configure the environment for real-time translation tasks. By triggering a pre-configured Python workflow, the skill ensures that the Doubao real-time subtitle window is active and correctly positioned, enabling downstream tools to capture translations reliably. This is an essential component for users looking to translate multimedia content automatically, bridging the gap between raw audio playback and readable, text-based subtitle generation.

Installation

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

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/banner90/doubao-launch

Ensure that your environment has access to the Windows Python interpreter, as the skill operates via a WSL-to-Windows bridge. Verify that the works/ directory is accessible for file read/write operations during the workflow execution.

Use Cases

• Multilingual Content Creation: Automatically generating transcriptions and translations for educational or entertainment videos.
• Accessibility Services: Creating real-time subtitles for recorded audio files when no existing caption track is available.
• Automated Research: Parsing foreign language audio lectures or interviews into searchable text documents via Doubao’s translation engine.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, please launch the Doubao translation window in dual mode and get ready to process the audio file in my works folder."
2. "Start the Doubao application and prepare for subtitle capture so I can translate the latest YouTube video I just downloaded."
3. "Initialize the Doubao interface for real-time translation using the single-mode configuration."

Tips & Limitations

• GUI Constraints: Because this skill interacts with the Windows GUI, it requires an active, visible desktop session. It will fail if used within a disconnected RDP session or a headless server environment where there is no physical or virtual monitor initialized.
• Execution Environment: The skill relies on cross-platform calls. Ensure your WSL environment is correctly configured to execute python.exe on the Windows host.
• File Paths: Always ensure the Windows file system path is correctly mapped in your WSL environment, as the skill expects to operate within the works/ folder structure.
