What This Skill Does

The BlackOps Center skill provides a robust interface for interacting with your BlackOps Center blog infrastructure directly from your Clawdbot terminal. It bridges the gap between your command-line interface and your content management system by leveraging the BlackOps Center Extension API. Whether you are managing professional publications or personal side projects, this skill allows for the full lifecycle management of blog posts—from initial drafting and meta-data configuration to publishing and deletion—without ever needing to open a browser dashboard.

Installation

To begin, ensure you have the Clawdbot environment installed. First, install the skill package via the terminal command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bennewton999/blackops-center. Once the package is installed, navigate to ~/.clawdbot/skills/blackops-center and duplicate the config.example.yaml file. Inside your new config.yaml, provide your Personal Access Token retrieved from the BlackOps Center settings page under 'Browser Extension' and verify the base_url. This setup ensures secure authentication between your local machine and your remote site.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for technical content creators, developers, and writers who prefer a distraction-free environment. It is ideal for batch-creating drafts while working on documentation or code-heavy tutorials. You can use it to maintain a consistent publishing cadence by automating the transition from draft to published states based on your build or project completion triggers. It is also an excellent tool for site maintenance, allowing you to quickly audit, update, or remove outdated posts across multiple connected sites.

Example Prompts

1. "Create a new draft post titled 'Mastering Python Iterators' with the content 'Detailed guide on using iterators to optimize memory usage' and tags 'python,coding'."
2. "List my last 5 published posts to see what I released this week."
3. "Publish the post with ID 'abc123' and let me know when it's live."

Tips & Limitations

To get the most out of this skill, utilize the filtering capabilities of the list-posts command, specifically by using the --status flag to isolate your workflow. Keep in mind that all posts are created as drafts by default; this is an intentional safety feature to prevent accidental publication. Ensure your base_url is configured correctly, especially if you are using a custom domain. Note that the skill relies on a stable network connection to the BlackOps Center API; if you experience errors, verify your internet connectivity and ensure your API token has not expired or been revoked in the management console.
