Agent Skills - zlacker

>>moored+(OP)
I started playing with skills yesterday. I'm not sure if it's just easier for the LLM to call APIs inside the skill — and then move the heavier code behind an endpoint that the agent can call instead.

I have a feeling that otherwise it becomes too messy for agents to reliably handle a lot of complex stuff.

For example, I have OpenClaw automatically looking for trending papers, turning them into fun stories, and then sending me the text via Telegram so I can listen to it in the ElevenLabs app.

I'm not sure whether it's better to have the story-generating system behind an API or to code it as a skill — especially since OpenClaw already does a lot of other stuff for me.
