blinko
Manage Blinko notes via its REST API (create/list/delete notes, manage tags/taxonomy). Use when the user says “blinko …”, wants to capture a note to Blinko, list/search recent notes, retag notes, or do cleanup/organization. Requires BLINKO_API_KEY.
Why use this skill?
Integrate Blinko into OpenClaw to capture, organize, and search your personal notes. Manage your knowledge base with automated tagging and API support.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/vellis59/openclaw-skill-blinkoWhat This Skill Does
The Blinko skill for OpenClaw acts as a bridge between your natural language commands and your Blinko personal knowledge base. By integrating directly with the Blinko REST API, this skill allows the AI agent to capture, organize, retrieve, and prune your digital notes without leaving the OpenClaw interface. It is designed to turn the AI into a structured memory assistant that enforces specific tagging taxonomies while handling the technical complexity of API authentication and formatting.
Installation
To integrate this skill, use the ClawHub command-line tool. Ensure you have your BLINKO_API_KEY ready, as it is mandatory for authentication. Run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/vellis59/openclaw-skill-blinko
After installation, configure your environment variables in your gateway setup. You must provide BLINKO_API_KEY. Optionally, set BLINKO_BASE_URL if you are hosting a self-hosted instance of Blinko (it defaults to https://blinko.exemple.com).
Use Cases
- Rapid Capture: Instantly turn quick thoughts into structured Markdown notes with relevant metadata.
- Knowledge Management: Maintain a clean, searchable database of notes for long-term recall.
- Taxonomy Enforcement: Automatically categorize information into top-level and sub-level tags to prevent clutter.
- Note Maintenance: Batch process older or irrelevant notes via command-line helpers or direct AI prompts to keep your knowledge base fresh.
Example Prompts
- "blinko: Add a note about the meeting architecture decisions, tagged #Tech/Architecture and #Project-X."
- "Search my recent notes for anything related to the Python backend refactor."
- "List all my inbox notes and delete the ones that are older than three months."
Tips & Limitations
- Taxonomy discipline: The skill enforces a strict limit of 7 top-level tags and a maximum of 2 sub-tags per note. Use the
#TopLevel/SubTagformat for best results. - Safety first: Destructive actions like deleting notes or purging tags require explicit confirmation. If you perform batch operations, ensure you have reviewed the targets via the list command first.
- Connectivity: This skill relies on external network access to communicate with your Blinko instance. If your instance is local/private, ensure your firewall permits outbound traffic from the OpenClaw agent.
