Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/deantiwang/guitar-chordWhat This Skill Does
The Guitar Chord Tool is an essential utility for musicians and producers utilizing OpenClaw. It serves as a comprehensive bridge between music theory and technical execution. The skill enables users to perform forward lookups to find notes and visual diagrams for specific chords, as well as reverse lookups where the agent analyzes a set of notes to identify potential chord names. Beyond basic identification, the tool provides functionality for visualizing chord inversions, exploring musical scales (including major, minor, and various modes), and calculating complex transpositions using the integrated Capo Calculator. By automating these musical calculations, the tool assists in songwriting, arranging, and learning guitar fretboard dynamics efficiently.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/deantiwang/guitar-chord
Ensure that you have Python 3 installed, as the underlying scripts for chord identification and calculation rely on standard Python execution within the shell.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for several scenarios:
- Songwriting and Composition: Quickly find alternate voicings for chords using inversion lookups to add depth to your progressions.
- Music Theory Education: Use the scale lookup feature to visualize note structures and understand how different modes like Dorian or Phrygian are constructed.
- Practical Performance: Use the Capo Calculator to instantly transpose chord charts for different vocal ranges or to simplify difficult fingerings.
- Transcription: Identify chords from a collection of notes captured during an improvisational session, helping you document your creative ideas accurately.
Example Prompts
- "Identify the chord for these notes: C, E, G, and B."
- "Show me the chord diagram for a Cmaj7 and list its inversions."
- "If I want to play a G chord but have my capo on the 3rd fret, what is the actual pitch?"
Tips & Limitations
When using the tool, ensure note names are clearly formatted using standard musical notation (e.g., C# or Db). The tool supports both sharps and flats, but consistency helps with accuracy. Remember that reverse lookups might return multiple possibilities if the notes are ambiguous. The Capo Calculator follows the standard formula where the open chord pitch is shifted upwards by the fret position. For optimal performance, keep your OpenClaw environment updated to ensure the latest scale databases are available in the repository.
