Chinese Calendar

What This Skill Does

The Chinese Calendar skill provides a robust command-line interface for content creators, marketers, and editors operating within the Chinese digital landscape. Despite its name, which refers to the lunar calendar utility, the toolset is primarily designed as an all-in-one assistant for generating, refining, and strategizing Chinese-language content. It streamlines complex workflows—such as generating article drafts, creating platform-specific outlines, proofreading for grammatical accuracy, and staying updated with current viral trends. By operating locally via bash, it ensures that your sensitive content drafts are not transmitted to third-party servers, keeping your creative process private.

Installation

To integrate this toolkit into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have bash 4.0 or higher installed. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bytesagain/chinese-lunar-calendar

Once installed, the utility will automatically configure its default data storage directory at ~/.chinese-lunar-calendar/. You can customize this location by setting the CHINESE_LUNAR_CALENDAR_DIR environment variable if you prefer to store your assets in a different location.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for social media managers and copywriters who need to scale their production. You can use the write command for rapid drafting, polish for enhancing tone and style, and hashtag for search engine optimization on platforms like Xiaohongshu or Douyin. The hot command is particularly useful for tracking emerging trends, while the platform command ensures that your copy is formatted correctly for specific target audiences. Whether you are drafting a long-form article or micro-copy for a campaign, this suite simplifies the task.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, use the Chinese Calendar skill to write a 500-word article about sustainable living trends in Shanghai for a WeChat official account."
2. "Please proofread this draft and polish the tone to be more professional yet engaging for a corporate audience in China."
3. "Run the hot command to identify current trending topics in the Chinese tech sector so I can draft an outline for a new blog post."

Tips & Limitations

The tool relies on local bash execution, meaning it is extremely fast and privacy-focused, but it does not have a real-time internet connection for live data scraping beyond the scope of its defined commands. Ensure your environment is set up with proper encoding support to handle Chinese characters correctly. For optimal results, treat the write and outline functions as starting points; always review the generated copy to ensure it aligns with your brand voice and complies with local platform content guidelines.
