What This Skill Does

The Yoinkit skill for OpenClaw acts as a high-performance bridge between your local AI agent and the broader social web. It provides a unified command-line interface to interact with 13 different social media platforms, allowing you to extract deep content data, scrape video transcripts, and perform complex searches without leaving your terminal. Whether you are analyzing trending topics on TikTok, pulling metadata from a YouTube video, or aggregating threads from Bluesky and Reddit, Yoinkit standardizes these fragmented sources into clean, usable formats for your agents.

Installation

To add Yoinkit to your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/seomikewaltman/yoinkit

Once installed, you must configure your credentials. Obtain an API token from the Yoinkit dashboard and save it via the terminal: /config set skills.entries.yoinkit.env.YOINKIT_API_TOKEN="your-token-here". Ensure your openclaw.json reflects the YOINKIT_API_URL if you are running custom proxy or local testing environments.

Use Cases

• Market Research: Automatically pull video transcripts from trending industry content on YouTube to generate summary reports or sentiment analysis.
• Content Curation: Monitor specific hashtags or search queries across TikTok, Reddit, and X to feed your content creation pipeline with fresh, relevant insights.
• Creator Intelligence: Retrieve metadata and full post content from creator feeds across multiple platforms to analyze engagement patterns and posting habits.
• Workflow Automation: Integrate Yoinkit into larger OpenClaw agent loops to trigger tasks based on new search findings or specific keyword spikes.

Example Prompts

1. "Yoinkit, can you transcribe the YouTube video at https://youtube.com/watch?v=abc123 and summarize the main arguments for me?"
2. "Search for the latest 'AI agent' news on Reddit sorted by new, and list the top 5 threads with the most comments."
3. "Grab the post metadata for this Twitter thread https://twitter.com/user/status/123 and identify the primary hashtags used."

Tips & Limitations

Always consult the references/platforms.md file before running commands, as platform capabilities vary significantly (e.g., transcripts may not be available on all platforms). Pagination requires handling of cursor or continuation tokens provided in the output. Note that Yoinkit is an API-based tool, meaning you must maintain an active subscription and network access to fetch data from these external services. Avoid excessive requests to prevent hitting platform-level rate limits.
