Find The Book

What This Skill Does

The 'Find The Book' skill by wintersun661 is an intelligent research assistant designed for book lovers and researchers. It integrates web search capabilities with Douban Book's extensive literary database to provide comprehensive book information. When a user queries for book recommendations, specific titles, or high-rated literature, this skill automatically fetches real-time metadata, including current豆瓣 ratings, author details, and direct links to the book's Douban page. Beyond just static data, it enhances user productivity by programmatically identifying and providing direct access links to the same titles on WeChat Reading, making it an essential bridge between discovery and digital consumption. It standardizes the presentation of information into a clean, readable format that includes ratings, direct reading links, and concise summaries.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure that you have network access enabled and the necessary Python dependencies installed. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/wintersun661/find-the-book

Additionally, ensure your environment includes the required libraries by running:

pip install duckduckgo-search requests beautifulsoup4

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for:

• Bibliophiles looking for highly-rated books within specific genres (e.g., 'high-rated sci-fi novels').
• Researchers or students needing to verify book quality via community ratings.
• Frequent readers wanting to quickly locate electronic versions of books on the WeChat Reading platform.
• Users who prefer a consolidated, structured summary of book information rather than navigating multiple browser tabs.

Example Prompts

1. "帮我找几本关于时间管理的高分书籍，最好能直接在微信读书上看。"
2. "推荐几本类似《三体》的硬科幻小说，并提供豆瓣链接。"
3. "《置身事内》这本书评价怎么样？帮我找一下它的豆瓣评分和阅读入口。"

Tips & Limitations

• The accuracy of the WeChat Reading link depends on the search results retrieved via the DuckDuckGo engine; occasionally, if a book is not available on WeChat Reading, the link may be omitted or redirect to a search page.
• Ensure your internet connection is stable, as the skill performs multiple network requests to fetch real-time data from Douban and other search providers.
• The output is optimized for readability. When requesting multiple books, keep the query count within a reasonable limit (e.g., 3-5) to avoid excessive processing time.
