yao

What This Skill Does

The 'yao' skill is a professional-grade divination tool for the OpenClaw AI agent, specifically designed for the Chinese tradition of 'Liu Yao' (Six Lines) fortune telling. It enables the AI to generate a random hexagram by simulating the traditional coin-tossing method, which yields six digits ranging from 6 to 9. These digits represent the fundamental states of the lines: 6 (Old Yin, moving), 7 (Young Yang, stable), 8 (Young Yin, stable), and 9 (Old Yang, moving). The skill processes these numbers to determine the main hexagram and any potential change hexagrams, providing a direct link to a detailed analysis interface at yoebao.com. It acts as a digital oracle, translating random chance into structured, ancient wisdom for users seeking insights into life, business, or personal decision-making.

Installation

To integrate this divination tool into your OpenClaw environment, use the command line to fetch the package from the official source repository. Ensure you have the necessary environment variables set and execute the following command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/kinmeic/yoebao-yao

Once installed, the skill becomes immediately available as a contextual command for your AI agent.

Use Cases

This skill is primarily used for spiritual inquiry and traditional decision-making assistance. Typical use cases include:

• Personal reflection and meditative guidance when facing difficult choices.
• Exploring historical Chinese divination techniques through an interactive digital lens.
• Providing quick, structured hexagram readings for users interested in Taoist or I Ching-based philosophies.
• Generating random hexagrams for creative writing or world-building projects that require mystical elements.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, 请帮我摇一卦，看看最近的项目运势如何。"
2. "六爻占卜，帮我排个盘。"
3. "我想进行一次排六爻预测，现在开始。"

Tips & Limitations

• Randomization: The hexagrams are generated based on pseudo-random number logic. While they mirror traditional methods, they should be interpreted as tools for reflection rather than absolute predictors of the future.
• Depth: The skill provides the core hexagram structure. For deep psychological or situational analysis, users should follow the provided URL to examine the complex relationships between 'Shi' and 'Ying' positions.
• Variables: Always note that any line represented by 6 or 9 is a 'moving line' (dong yao), which is the key trigger for a change hexagram. Ensure you review both the primary and change hexagrams for a complete reading.
