Send each item as its own message (Title + Age + Link). Then generate a Nano Banana image in a cartoon ZiB studio with the anchor presenting the news, plus subtle Easter eggs based on the selected stories.

The ORF Digest skill provides a streamlined, on-demand news retrieval service tailored for the OpenClaw ecosystem. By tapping into the official ORF news feed (news.orf.at), this skill filters out non-essential sports content to prioritize critical Austrian Inland and international Ausland politics. Designed for efficiency, it delivers information in a structured, multi-message format, ensuring that each news item remains distinct and readable. The skill also includes a creative visualization component, leveraging the 'Nano Banana' brand to generate high-quality studio-style imagery featuring a custom ZiB (Zeit im Bild) anchor desk, complete with subtle Easter eggs that reference the specific news stories provided in the digest.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw agent, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cpojer/orf
Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies for image generation and the Python scripting environment configured as outlined in the source repository.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for professionals, researchers, or anyone living in Austria who requires quick, accurate, and distraction-free updates on current events. It serves as a perfect daily briefing tool for morning routines or as a research aid for monitoring government proceedings and major geopolitical shifts in Europe. By allowing users to specify the number of items and the thematic focus, it caters to both casual readers looking for headlines and power users who need targeted political analysis.
Example Prompts
- "orf 5 inland"
- "pull orf"
- "orf 10 ausland"
Tips & Limitations
- Focusing Results: Use the optional keywords 'inland' or 'ausland' to prevent generic feed clutter. If no category is provided, the skill defaults to major headlines.
- Image Generation: The image generation process requires successful output from the ORF script. If network conditions result in empty data, the skill will fall back to manual browser-based retrieval.
- Performance: For optimal performance, keep your requested count under 15; exceeding this limit may impact response time and the visual clarity of the final ZiB studio image.
- Consistency: Because this skill relies on live web scraping, ensure your agent has network access permissions to reach the ORF news portal. The tool is strictly designed for textual analysis of current events and avoids visual clutter like maps in the image generation phase to maintain studio aesthetics.
