What This Skill Does

The seoul-subway skill is a comprehensive assistant integrated into OpenClaw designed to provide real-time, accurate, and actionable information about the Seoul Metropolitan Subway system. By leveraging a dedicated proxy server, the skill bypasses the need for complex API key management, allowing users to query arrival times, plan routes, identify last train times, and navigate facilities such as elevators, restrooms, and quick-exit carriages. It is fully bilingual, supporting both English and Korean natural language queries.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dukbong/seoul-subway

Ensure that your environment has sufficient permissions to utilize the proxy bridge required for fetching transit data.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for daily commuters, travelers, and residents in Seoul. It streamlines urban mobility by providing instant feedback on transit status. Whether you are checking if you can catch the last train after a night out in Hongdae, needing to locate an elevator for accessibility, or trying to find the quickest exit to reach a specific landmark like COEX, this skill acts as a concierge service for public transport. It is particularly useful during service disruptions, as it pulls real-time alerts to help you pivot your travel plans immediately.

Example Prompts

1. "When is the next train for line 2 at Gangnam station?"
2. "What is the fastest route from Sindorim to Seoul Station during rush hour?"
3. "Which exit should I take for the COEX Mall, and where are the nearest restrooms?"

Tips & Limitations

To get the best results, always specify the station name clearly. If a query is ambiguous, the skill will ask for clarification. Note that while the skill provides excellent real-time updates, infrastructure limitations (such as Wi-Fi dead zones in tunnels) might occasionally affect the speed of response. Always treat the 'quick exit' information as a guideline for station architecture rather than dynamic platform-level tracking.
