What This Skill Does

The pubmed2blog skill is a specialized content engineering tool designed to bridge the gap between complex medical literature and public-facing health communication. By leveraging the PubMed database, this tool allows OpenClaw agents to query, extract, and synthesize peer-reviewed medical research into accessible blog content. It is engineered to streamline the creation of SEO-optimized articles, supporting various formats such as research explainers, patient-facing summaries, and service-connection pieces. It automates the research lifecycle, from the initial discovery of relevant clinical studies to the final generation of a blog-ready document.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following commands in your terminal. Ensure you have Node.js installed to support the package runtime.

1. Run the installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/holic101/pubmed2blog
2. Globally install the CLI dependency: npm install -g pubmed2blog
3. Initialize your configuration by running pubmed2blog init. This process will prompt you for your preferred LLM provider API keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Z.AI) and help you configure your content preferences.

Use Cases

• Content Marketing for Clinics: Automatically turn new clinical findings into "Service Connection" posts that link research results to existing service offerings.
• Medical Research Summarization: Create "Research Explainers" for health newsletters, ensuring your audience stays informed about the latest scientific breakthroughs without needing a doctorate to understand them.
• Patient Education: Generate jargon-free "Patient-facing" articles to populate a blog, improving SEO rankings while providing genuine value to patient inquiries.
• Automated Research Monitoring: Use the pipeline feature in conjunction with cron jobs to keep your blog consistently updated with the latest research on a specific topic.

Example Prompts

• "Search for the latest research on intermittent fasting, extract the top paper, and generate a patient-facing blog post about it.
• "Find 3 high-impact studies regarding cardiovascular prevention and generate research-explainer articles for all of them, saving the files to my local directory.
• "What does the latest research say about sleep quality? Use the pipeline command to pull the top study and summarize why we prioritize sleep hygiene at our clinic.

Tips & Limitations

• API Usage: Ensure your chosen LLM provider has sufficient credits, as generating high-quality blog content consumes tokens.
• Fact-Checking: While the skill accurately pulls text from PubMed, always perform a human review before publishing to ensure that the AI-generated context remains medically accurate and aligns with your brand voice.
• Tier Strategy: When using the 'discover' command, utilize the '--tier' flag to focus on high-quality journals, which will significantly improve the factual density and reliability of your resulting blog posts.
