What This Skill Does

The minimax-video skill provides OpenClaw agents with the capability to perform real-time internet searches using the Zhipu (智谱) web search engine. By leveraging the advanced glm-4-flash model, the agent can retrieve the latest information, news, and technical data directly from the web. This skill integrates seamlessly into your workflow by acting as a bridge between the agent's reasoning process and Zhipu's robust search infrastructure, ensuring that your agent is never limited by its internal knowledge cutoff date.

Installation

To install this skill, use the ClawHub command-line tool. Open your terminal and run:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/honestqiao/minimax-video

Once installed, ensure you have obtained your API key from the Zhipu Open Platform at https://www.bigmodel.cn/usercenter/proj-mgmt/apikeys. For security, never hardcode this key into your scripts. Instead, set it as an environment variable in your session:

export MINIMAX_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for tasks requiring dynamic information retrieval. Use it when:

• You need to track real-time stock prices or financial market movements.
• You are researching emerging tech trends or breaking news headlines.
• You need to cross-reference data from multiple web sources to verify a claim.
• Your agent needs to perform competitive analysis by looking at current competitor websites or public documentation.

Example Prompts

1. "Search for the latest developments in large language model regulations in the European Union from this week."
2. "Look up the current system requirements for the latest version of Kubernetes and compare them with the previous release."
3. "Find the most recent news regarding the impact of satellite constellations on astronomy research published in major journals."

Tips & Limitations

• Input Validation: The skill enforces a query length limit of 500 characters to ensure request efficiency and prevent buffer-related errors.
• Security: Because the API key is passed via environment variables, be aware that it may be visible in process listings (ps aux). Only execute this in trusted environments and avoid sharing your shell history.
• Performance: The skill includes a 30-second timeout to ensure that the agent remains responsive. If a search takes longer, the skill returns a generic error to prevent hanging.
• Consistency: Always use the official endpoint https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4/chat/completions to ensure data integrity and compliance with Zhipu's API standards.
