catime
Fetch and send AI-generated hourly cat images. Every hour a unique cat artwork is born via Google Gemini. Use when user asks for a cat picture, wants to browse the cat gallery, or requests the latest AI-generated cat image to be sent to them.
Why use this skill?
Integrate catime to fetch and display unique, AI-generated cat artwork every hour. Perfect for engaging users with creative feline stories and images.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/yazelin/catimeWhat This Skill Does
The catime skill acts as an automated bridge between the OpenClaw AI agent and an hourly stream of unique, AI-generated cat artwork. By integrating with Google Gemini, the system produces a fresh, artistically rendered feline image every single hour. This skill provides the necessary interface for your AI agent to fetch these images, retrieve associated metadata like the creative prompt and the unique 'story' behind the art, and render them directly to the user within the messaging interface.
Installation
To begin using this skill, you must first ensure your environment is configured for OpenClaw. Installation is performed via the package manager:
pip install catime
Alternatively, for OpenClaw-specific environments, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/yazelin/catime
After installation, verify the setup by running catime --help. This ensures the CLI is correctly linked and that the binary has permission to execute within your agent's directory.
Use Cases
This skill is designed for interactive, personality-driven AI agents. Common use cases include:
- Entertainment: Surprising users with a fresh, AI-generated cat artwork during a conversation.
- Gallery Browsing: Users can request to see the 'latest' cat to admire the variety of styles, from embroidery to oil painting.
- Community Engagement: Sharing the 'cat of the hour' in group chat environments to encourage interaction.
- Creative Inspiration: Providing examples of high-quality image generation prompts and storytelling for creative users.
Example Prompts
- "I'm feeling stressed today, can you send me the latest AI-generated cat to brighten my mood?"
- "Show me the cat image that was just generated for this hour."
- "Hey, open the cat gallery and find me the most recent cat art from catime."
Tips & Limitations
- Refresh Rate: Remember that the cat artwork only updates once every hour. Requests made within the same hour will return the same image data.
- Metadata Handling: Always include the provided story and prompt in your response to the user. This adds context and value to the image, showcasing the AI agent's ability to interpret and explain the generated artwork.
- Error Handling: If the
catimecommand fails to return a URL, ensure your network has access to the GitHub releases endpoint where the images are hosted. Always handle empty responses gracefully by informing the user that the next 'cat-tastic' update is currently in the works.
