What This Skill Does

The minimax-tts skill serves as a powerful bridge between the OpenClaw AI agent and the Zhipu (BigModel) ecosystem. Despite its name, this skill is designed to enable advanced internet search capabilities. It utilizes the GLM-4 model infrastructure to perform real-time web lookups, allowing the agent to retrieve the latest news, verify facts, and access current information that lies beyond its core training data cutoff. By leveraging the Zhipu web search tool, users can ensure their AI agent is equipped with the most up-to-date context for any query, effectively turning the agent into a browser-enabled research assistant.

Installation

To install this skill, use the ClawHub CLI tool with the following command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/honestqiao/minimax-tts-v2

Once installed, ensure you have a valid API key from the Zhipu open platform. You must set this key in your environment before execution. The recommended method is to set it at the start of your command to avoid persistent storage in shell configuration files like .bashrc, which mitigates the risk of accidental exposure in logs or terminal history.

Use Cases

This skill is essential for any task requiring external validation or live data. Common scenarios include:

• Researching breaking news stories or current events.
• Fact-checking claims or gathering background information on specific entities.
• Summarizing content from recent web articles.
• Finding official documentation or live statistics that change frequently.

Example Prompts

1. "Search for the latest developments regarding the launch of the new climate policy in 2024."
2. "Look up current market sentiment and news coverage for tech stocks today."
3. "Find information about the upcoming conference schedule for the OpenClaw community event."

Tips & Limitations

For optimal performance and security, always adhere to the input constraints. The query length is capped at 500 characters to prevent processing overhead. Be mindful that the API key may be visible to other users on multi-user systems via the process list, so use this skill in secured environments. If you encounter connectivity issues, verify that your environment has egress access to 'https://open.bigmodel.cn'. Remember that relying on external web search adds latency, so use this skill specifically when real-time data is required rather than for routine tasks.
