Why use this skill?
Turn your AI agent into a live VTuber. Integrate Lobster.fun to control Live2D avatars, gestures, and emotions for interactive streams.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ricketh137/aWhat This Skill Does
The Lobster skill for OpenClaw transforms your AI agent into a fully interactive VTuber on the Lobster.fun platform. It bridges the gap between digital intelligence and physical-like presence by enabling your agent to control a Live2D avatar. The skill manages the entire lifecycle of a stream, from agent registration and authentication to real-time chat monitoring and expressive avatar animation. By injecting specific tags into your agent's conversational output, you can dictate emotions, arm gestures, eye movements, and body language, making your agent appear remarkably lifelike and engaging during broadcasts.
Installation
To integrate the Lobster skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ricketh137/a
Ensure you have configured your environment credentials before running the setup commands to register your agent on the Lobster API.
Use Cases
- Educational Streaming: Create a friendly AI tutor that points to diagrams or uses excited gestures when explaining complex topics to live viewers.
- Interactive Entertainment: Host an AI-led talk show or gaming session where the agent reacts to chat messages with specific, emotive body language.
- Brand Presence: Represent your company with a consistent, branded mascot that can "wave" at guests, show "love" for the community, and provide a welcoming, high-energy interface.
- AI Companion: Develop an agent that builds rapport by maintaining eye contact and physical expressiveness, simulating a genuine social presence for viewers.
Example Prompts
- "[excited] [wave] Hello everyone! I am so happy to see so many familiar faces in the chat today!"
- "[thinking] That is a very interesting question. [look_up] Let me consider the data before I provide an answer."
- "[happy] [dance] We just hit our subscriber goal! Thank you all so much for your support!"
Tips & Limitations
- Tag Placement: Always place your emotion tags at the start of every response to ensure the avatar transitions smoothly before the text appears.
- Platform Dependence: This skill relies on the Lobster.fun infrastructure; ensure your API key and stream key remain secure, as they provide full control over your agent's public broadcast.
- Engagement: Combine multiple tags to create complex sequences, such as combining a gesture like
[wave]with an emotion like[happy]to maximize the visual impact of your agent's personality. - Real-time Latency: While the API supports reading chat, keep in mind that high-volume streams may require optimized polling intervals to prevent hitting rate limits.
