# X-format articles as HTML; humanizer runs between generations; header from visual-explainer
python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/blog-generator/scripts/blog_generator.py
Skip humanizer (e.g. no OPENROUTER_API_KEY)
python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/blog-generator/scripts/blog_generator.py --no-humanize
Custom humanizer or visual-explainer paths
python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/blog-generator/scripts/blog_generator.py --humanizer-path /Users/ghost/Downloads/humanizer-1.0.0 --visual-explainer-path /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/visual-explainer-main
Classic format (overview/problem/solution), still HTML
python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/blog-generator/scripts/blog_generator.py --format classic
JSON output
python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/blog-generator/scripts/blog_generator.py --days 14 --max-topics 5 --json

What this skill does

Scans journal entries from the last N days for interesting topics (discoveries, obstacles, solutions)

Identifies high-value topics based on keyword relevance and problem-solving value

Researches search volume and keyword opportunities (heuristic-based, can be enhanced with APIs)

Generates structured blog posts with overview, problem, solution, and takeaways sections

Saves blog posts to /Users/ghost/.openclaw/blogs/ as HTML only (X-article format, header from visual-explainer, humanizer between generations)

Integration as a Cron Job

This skill is designed to run periodically (daily or weekly) via OpenClaw cron to automatically generate blog content.

Example Cron Job Configuration (Daily):

{
  "payload": {
    "kind": "agentTurn",
    "message": "Run blog-generator skill to analyze journal entries and generate high-value blog posts.",
    "model": "openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-flash",
    "thinking": "low",
    "timeoutSeconds": 300
  },
  "schedule": {
    "kind": "cron",
    "cron": "0 9 * * *"
  },
  "delivery": {
    "mode": "announce"
  },
  "sessionTarget": "isolated",
  "name": "Blog Post Generator"
}

Example Cron Job Configuration (Weekly):

{
  "payload": {
    "kind": "agentTurn",
    "message": "Run blog-generator skill with --days 7 --max-topics 3 to generate weekly blog posts from journal analysis.",
    "model": "openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-flash",
    "thinking": "low",
    "timeoutSeconds": 300
  },
  "schedule": {
    "kind": "cron",
    "cron": "0 10 * * 1"
  },
  "delivery": {
    "mode": "announce"
  },
  "sessionTarget": "isolated",
  "name": "Weekly Blog Generator"
}

Output Format

HTML only (no Markdown). Output is in the format accepted by X articles: one header (from visual-explainer), then article body with no interlaced visuals.

File: /Users/ghost/.openclaw/blogs/YYYYMMDD_slugified-title.html

Article structure: X-style (long-form): punchy hook, short paragraphs, "two types of people" framing, pivot, stakes. Use --format classic for overview/problem/solution.

Header: From visual-explainer only. Default path: /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/visual-explainer-main. The skill’s scripts/generate_header.py is called with section: "header" and returns an html_snippet (hero with title and optional summary). No diagrams or images in the body.

Humanizer: Runs between generations by default. Each article’s body is sent through /Users/ghost/Downloads/humanizer-1.0.0 (requires OPENROUTER_API_KEY) before rendering to HTML. Use --no-humanize to skip.

Topic Scoring

Topics are scored based on:

High-value keywords: OpenClaw-specific terms, problem-solving language

Content type: Solutions score highest, then obstacles, then discoveries

Content depth: Longer, more detailed content scores higher

Search volume indicators: Keywords like "how to", "tutorial", "fix" increase value

Requirements

Journal entries in /Users/ghost/.openclaw/journal/

Blogs directory writable at /Users/ghost/.openclaw/blogs/

Chat history analyzer skill (for journal entries)

How it works

1. Scans journal directory for markdown files from the last N days 2. Extracts topics from discoveries, obstacles, and solutions sections 3. Scores topics based on keyword relevance and value 4. Selects top N high-value topics 5. Generates structured blog posts with problem/solution format 6. Saves posts to blogs directory with timestamped filenames

Enhancement Opportunities

Integrate with Google Keyword Planner API for real search volume data

Use AI model to enhance blog post quality and SEO optimization

Cross-reference with existing blog posts to avoid duplicates

Generate multiple variations of posts for A/B testing
