The Bible Verse of the Day (VOTD) skill allows your OpenClaw AI agent to programmatically fetch the daily inspirational verse provided by Bible.com (YouVersion). This skill is designed to provide both the textual content of the verse and a professionally designed, pre-rendered high-quality image (1280x1280 pixels) that is perfect for digital sharing. By accessing the public-facing Bible.com interface, the skill returns a structured JSON payload containing the scripture reference, the full verse text, a standardized USFM code, the current date, and a direct URL to the image asset. It handles the retrieval process seamlessly, ensuring that the content is ready for display in messaging platforms, social media, or local storage.
Installation
To install this skill, use the ClawHub CLI tool in your terminal. Run the following command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dbhurley/bible-votd
Ensure that you have your OpenClaw environment initialized and that you have permissions to execute Python scripts in the designated clawd/skills directory.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for users who want to integrate daily spiritual encouragement into their automated workflows. Common use cases include:
- Automating the posting of daily verses to community Discord or Slack channels.
- Generating a morning briefing for personal dashboards that include inspirational content.
- Programmatically archiving daily verses and images into a personal journal or local folder for offline viewing.
- Creating automated social media content pipelines that require fresh, aesthetically pleasing religious imagery daily.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, get me today's verse of the day and tell me what the reference is."
- "Download today's Bible verse image to /tmp/todays_inspiration.jpg and display the verse text."
- "Fetch the latest Bible verse and prepare it for sharing with the proper attribution."
Tips & Limitations
- Attribution: Always ensure that you attribute the content to Bible.com / YouVersion when resharing, as required by the skill's usage terms.
- Scheduling: The verse updates according to the YouVersion schedule. Requesting the skill multiple times a day will return the same result until the next cycle.
- Network dependency: Since the skill scrapes data from Bible.com, a stable internet connection is required to retrieve the image URL and text.
- Storage: If using the --download flag, ensure your agent has write permissions for the target directory to avoid execution errors.
