Knowledge Base Collector
What this skill does
Collect and organize a personal knowledge base from URLs (web/X/WeChat) and screenshots. Use when the user says they want to save an URL, ingest a link, archive content to KB, tag/classify notes, store screenshots, or search their saved knowledge in Telegram. Supports WeChat via a connected macOS node when cloud fetch is blocked.
Knowledge Base Collector is part of the Research & Knowledge category — research and knowledge skills that gather, search, and summarize information. You can install it on its own or alongside other research & knowledge skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
How to install Knowledge Base Collector
The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:
- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
- Open the in-app Skills panel.
- Search for
knowledge-base-collectorand click Install. - The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.
Install from the command line
If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Knowledge Base Collector with a single command:
openclaw skills add knowledge-base-collector
This pulls knowledge-base-collector from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/knowledge-base-collector/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use Knowledge Base Collector
Once installed, Knowledge Base Collector activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.
Turning images into video
Knowledge Base Collector works with images. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — turns stills into motion — pans and transitions, synced captions, and a vertical export for short-form feeds.
It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.
