otaku-reco

What This Skill Does

otaku-reco is a specialized AI agent designed for anime enthusiasts who want a curated, high-quality viewing experience. Instead of overwhelming you with generic top-100 lists, this agent acts as a personal curator. It integrates with AniList real-time data via the reco_cli.py script to fetch precise recommendations based on your unique taste, current mood, and specific exclusion criteria. The agent doesn't just list titles; it provides a 'connoisseur's analysis,' explaining why a specific show fits your profile, highlighting potential 'minefields' (such as pacing issues or content warnings), and offering clear viewing orders for complex franchises.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/robin797860/otaku-reco Ensure you have Python 3 installed, as the skill relies on the backend reco_cli.py script to communicate with AniList APIs.

Use Cases

• Seed-Based Discovery: You finished a masterpiece like 'Steins;Gate' and want to find something with a similar tone or narrative complexity.
• Mood-Based Exploration: You are feeling burnt out and want 'healing' (iyashikei) anime without high-stakes drama or romance tropes.
• Constraint Filtering: You need a short series (under 12 episodes) that features high-quality animation but explicitly excludes harem or fan-service elements.
• Franchise Navigation: You want to dive into a long-running series like 'Fate' or 'Gundam' and need to know the correct, least confusing entry point.

Example Prompts

1. "I loved 'Vinland Saga' for its historical grit and character growth. Recommend 5 similar anime that aren't too shonen-heavy, and mention if there are any slow-burn parts."
2. "I'm looking for a short 12-episode anime that is strictly 'healing' and cozy. Please avoid anything involving supernatural elements or school life drama."
3. "I want to get into the 'Monogatari' series. Can you recommend the best watch order and tell me what the biggest 'deal-breakers' might be for a newcomer?"

Tips & Limitations

• Be Specific: The more you clarify your 'hard filters' (e.g., 'no harem,' 'no sad endings'), the more accurate the result will be.
• Real Data: This skill avoids hallucinated scores. All dates, episode counts, and rankings are pulled directly from AniList; if the result set is small, the agent will automatically broaden its search parameters to ensure you receive quality options.
• Context is Key: If you dislike specific tropes, mention them in your initial prompt to leverage the agent's filtering logic effectively.
