Trigger

Bernard says "reddit-quote" → use this skill.

Parameters

• destination (required): City/region (e.g. "Barcelona")
• category (required): What the picks are (e.g. "Cheap Eats", "Hidden Gems", "Date Night Spots")
• popular_picks_url (required): tabiji.ai popular-picks page URL to pull attractions + Reddit quotes from
• reddit_post_count (optional): Number of Reddit posts analyzed (for subtitle, e.g. "150+ posts"). Pull from the popular-picks page if available.

Pipeline (3 chained sub-agents)

Working directory: /tmp/ig-reddit-quote/

Sub-agent 1: Scrape Picks + Find Photos

1. Fetch the popular-picks page via web_fetch to get:

   • List of attractions (names)
   • A compelling Reddit quote for each attraction (look for vivid, specific, personal quotes — not generic praise)
   • The subreddit each quote came from (e.g. "r/london", "r/AskLondon")
   • Total Reddit post count if shown on the page

2. Find photos using instagram-photo-find workflow:

   • 1 hero photo for the destination (for cover slide)
   • 1 photo per attraction (for quote slides)
   • For each: web_search → download candidates → vision-score → keep best

3. Write manifest to /tmp/ig-reddit-quote/manifest.json:

{
  "destination": "Barcelona",
  "category": "Cheap Eats",
  "reddit_post_count": 150,
  "cover_photo": "/tmp/ig-reddit-quote/cover-best.jpg",
  "slides": [
    {
      "name": "Bar Cañete",
      "quote": "Went here on a random Tuesday and had the best patatas bravas of my life. The old guy next to me ordered for me and everything was incredible.",
      "subreddit": "r/barcelona",
      "photo": "/tmp/ig-reddit-quote/bar-canete-best.jpg",
      "source_url": "instagram.com/p/XXX/"
    }
  ]
}

Sub-agent 2: Text Overlays

Read manifest. Create overlays using instagram-photo-text-overlay skill.

Slide 1 (Cover) — clean style:

python3 /Users/psy/.openclaw/workspace/skills/instagram-photo-text-overlay/scripts/overlay.py \
  --input /tmp/ig-reddit-quote/cover-best.jpg \
  --output /tmp/ig-reddit-quote/slide-1.jpg \
  --title "Top {COUNT} {CATEGORY} in {DESTINATION}" \
  --subtitle "Insider Takes from Reddit ({N}+ posts)" \
  --style clean --watermark "tabiji.ai"

Where:

• {COUNT} = number of attractions
• {CATEGORY} = category (e.g. "Cheap Eats")
• {DESTINATION} = destination name
• {N} = reddit_post_count from manifest

Slides 2+ — quote style, one per attraction:

python3 /Users/psy/.openclaw/workspace/skills/instagram-photo-text-overlay/scripts/overlay.py \
  --input /tmp/ig-reddit-quote/{slug}-best.jpg \
  --output /tmp/ig-reddit-quote/slide-{N}.jpg \
  --title "{ATTRACTION_NAME}" \
  --quote "{REDDIT_QUOTE}" \
  --author "{SUBREDDIT}" \
  --style quote --watermark "tabiji.ai"
