What This Skill Does

The Freepik skill for OpenClaw provides a powerful interface to Freepik's expansive suite of generative AI tools. By leveraging the Freepik API, this agent can generate high-quality assets including text-to-image art, video clips, custom icons, and audio. It bridges the gap between complex API management and simple user interaction, handling authentication, asynchronous task polling, and secure storage management for generated assets.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw package manager: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cohnen/freepik Ensure you have an API key from the Freepik Developers dashboard. Once obtained, set your environment variable using export FREEPIK_API_KEY="your-key-here" to enable immediate functionality.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for creators, marketers, and developers needing rapid asset production. Use it to generate unique character designs for stories, create promotional video snippets, produce vector-style icons for web projects, or remove backgrounds from existing product photos. It is perfectly suited for iterative design cycles where you need to test multiple visual concepts quickly.

Example Prompts

1. "Generate a cinematic 4K photo of a futuristic cyberpunk city at night using the Flux model."
2. "Create a 5-second video of a golden retriever running through a meadow."
3. "Take this image file and remove the background using the Freepik beta tool."

Tips & Limitations

• Async Polling: Most image and video tasks are asynchronous. The skill automatically manages the wait loop, but note that generation times vary based on model complexity.
• Storage: All outputs are stored in ~/.freepik/sessions/${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}. Ensure your local directory permissions allow writing to this path.
• Authentication: If you encounter 401 errors, verify your API key status on the Freepik developer portal.
• Best Practices: Be specific in your prompts to reduce iterative costs. Use the status command if a long-running generation task appears to have hung or requires verification.
