Halo Manager

What This Skill Does

The Halo Manager skill empowers your OpenClaw AI agent to interface directly with your Halo-powered website, enabling seamless content creation and blog management. By leveraging the official @halo-dev/api-client, this skill automates the transition from raw ideas to published web content. It features a robust conversion engine that parses standard Markdown syntax into valid HTML, ensuring your posts look professional and consistent. Whether you are drafting a technical tutorial with code blocks, creating a formatted list, or emphasizing key points with bold and italics, the Halo Manager handles the heavy lifting of API communication, authentication, and formatting, allowing you to focus purely on your creative output.

Installation

To integrate the Halo Manager into your environment, navigate to your OpenClaw skill directory and execute the following command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/binsonhao/halo-manager. After the installation finishes, you must configure your credentials to permit API access. This requires setting two primary environment variables: HALO_URL, which points to your live blog's base URL, and HALO_TOKEN, which acts as your secure gateway. You can obtain this token by navigating to your Halo dashboard, heading to Settings > Tokens, and creating a new Personal Access Token with the appropriate write permissions. Once these variables are set, your AI agent will be authorized to manage your blog posts.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for content creators, developers documenting their progress, or professionals who need to maintain an active blog without manual administrative overhead. Use it to quickly document software release notes by feeding raw logs into the agent, draft insightful articles while brainstorming with your AI, or clean up your site by mass-deleting obsolete drafts or test posts. It serves as an asynchronous bridge between your AI's reasoning capabilities and your public-facing web presence.

Example Prompts

1. "Halo, publish a new post titled 'Getting Started with AI' containing a brief introduction, three bullet points about efficiency, and a code block showing a 'Hello World' function."
2. "List all my current blog posts so I can check if the article about cloud computing is already live."
3. "Delete all blog posts that have the word 'Draft' in their title to clean up my dashboard."

Tips & Limitations

When using the Halo Manager, remember that Markdown conversion is handled server-side, but complex nested structures may require explicit formatting. Always verify that your API token has sufficient permissions to modify posts, as insufficient scopes will result in authentication errors. The skill is designed for standard blog posts; ensure your HALO_URL is accessible from your environment to avoid connection timeouts. If you encounter issues with special characters, ensure they are properly escaped in your prompts to maintain valid JSON-to-API transmission.
