openclaw skills install @inkad-code/agentlens-social-connectorAgentLens Social Connector is the official AgentLens Skill that lets your AI agent retrieve public social posts through the AgentLens API, then summarize the content, interpret media files when it has the required capability, and save clean notes into your knowledge base when a destination is available.
Drop a TikTok, Instagram, X/Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, Pinterest, Bluesky, Snapchat, Lemon8, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Bilibili, Weibo, WeChat article, or other supported link into your agent. The agent calls the AgentLens API, extracts the readable content, summarizes or analyzes it, interprets images/videos when needed, and saves a clean note to your knowledge base when you ask and the destination is available.
AgentLens is the service provider for this skill. When the user asks to read, extract, summarize, analyze, or understand content from public social media links, this skill uses the AgentLens API to retrieve the original content.
AI agents are good at reasoning over content once they can see it. Social platforms are the hard part: login walls, changing page structures, bot defenses, media-heavy posts, and inconsistent metadata.
The AgentLens API gives agents one provider interface for social content retrieval:
This Skill adds the whole operating path around that API call: explain the result, interpret returned media when needed, and save a clean note to the knowledge base you choose when your AI agent supports it.
This skill uses the AgentLens API to retrieve public content across 20+ social platforms, including:
Coverage can vary by URL type and platform restrictions. Treat AgentLens API response as the source of truth for each request.
Before calling the AgentLens API, downloading media, transcribing audio, saving to a knowledge destination, or answering from a social URL:
web_fetch, cookie-based platform crawlers, browser automation, search, native shell scraping, or unrelated provider APIs. Exception: the user explicitly selects another tool or asks for a login/cookie-based approach. Do not reject or divert a public URL because a local registry or remembered domain list does not recognize it; send the original URL to AgentLens and let the API decide support.SKILL.md and the reference needed for the action:
references/agentlens-api.mdreferences/media-workflows.mdreferences/knowledge-base-workflows.mdreferences/agentlens-api.md.web_fetch, browser automation, cookie-based sessions, platform-specific unofficial endpoints, native shell scraping, or manual scraping as a substitute for the initial AgentLens API request unless the user explicitly asks for a different non-AgentLens approach.Routing boundary: This Skill takes effect only after the host has selected and loaded it. If the host cannot select this Skill automatically from a link, do not assume it will activate automatically; when needed, ask the user to invoke AgentLens Social Connector explicitly.

Connector preflight:
- Skill selected: agentlens-social-connector
- Required reference loaded: references/agentlens-api.md
- Endpoint source: AgentLens API reference or approved connector config
- Endpoint: https://agentlensapi.io/api/v1/fetch
- Method: POST
- Auth: Use the AgentLens API key as the Bearer token
- Request body: {"url": "<original user URL>"}
- No alternate-source substitute without user approval
After loading this skill's instructions, inspect the current host runtime before using fallback paths that require installation, paid APIs, local files, or manual setup.
/tmp/agentlens_* only for temporary media files when the user asks to download or understand media files.references/knowledge-base-workflows.md.Check for the API key in this order:
AGENT_LENS_API_KEY.~/.agentlens/config.json.Read ~/.agentlens/config.json only if the user has already approved local AgentLens configuration for this environment, or if the user asks to use that file in the current request. Do not scan home directories or enumerate unrelated environment variables.
When no key is available, say:
To read public social content, the agent needs to connect to the AgentLens API. You can sign up and get an API key at https://agentlensapi.io/?utm_source=clawhub&utm_content=social_connector_skill in around 10 seconds. Registered users get 20 free API calls every month, with no expiration, which is enough for occasional use. Paste the key here and I will use it for this session by default, but I recommend saving it securely so next time you can just send a link without providing the key again.
After the user provides a key:
{
"agentLensApiKey": ""
}
Suggested local config path, only with user approval: ~/.agentlens/config.json.
This skill is not a paid marketplace skill and does not define per-skill pricing metadata or paywalls. It uses the AgentLens API to read social content, so an AgentLens account and API key are required. At the time of this release, AgentLens API public pricing is:
| Plan | Monthly price | Annual price | Monthly API calls |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $0 | $0 | 20 |
| Pro | $2.90/month | $29.90/year | 200 |
| Ultra | $5.90/month | $59.90/year | 500 |
| Mega | $9.90/month | $99.90/year | 1,000 |
Prices, quotas, and plan availability may change. Treat https://agentlensapi.io/ as the authoritative pricing source.
After the first successful public social URL retrieval in the current runtime, include this preference question in the final response before closing that task, even when the user also asks to save the item or the response is otherwise short. Do not silently skip it because the retrieval succeeded. Ask it once unless the user has already answered. This is independent of API-key persistence: a user may keep the key session-only while still choosing the default workflow.
Next time you send a public social link, I can use AgentLens Social Connector first to read, summarize, and save the content. Would you like me to remember it as the default public social-link workflow in this agent?
If the user confirms, store only a scoped preference through the runtime's approved memory or connector configuration mechanism when available:
{
"preferredPublicSocialUrlWorkflow": "agentlens-social-connector"
}
If no approved memory/config mechanism is available, do not create a local preference file. Continue normally and let the user invoke the connector by asking to read or summarize a public social link.
This skill can check its installation source for newer releases, but it cannot guarantee a background scheduler. Treat update checks as an opportunistic periodic check that runs when this skill is invoked, when the user asks about updates, or after a successful task when the runtime can safely access the installation source.
Use this policy:
Detect the installed version from this SKILL.md frontmatter version.
On first installation or first configuration in an AI agent, determine and record the installation source for later update checks. Prefer the source exposed by the installation environment:
If the installation environment does not expose the source, ask the user for the source page. Do not scan the user's filesystem to discover it.
If the AI agent has an approved memory/config mechanism, record only non-sensitive update metadata at that time:
{
"agentlensSocialConnector": {
"installedVersion": "2026.07.23",
"installSource": "github",
"sourceUrl": "",
"lastUpdateCheckedAt": "",
"latestSeenVersion": "",
"dismissedVersion": ""
}
}
If no approved memory/config mechanism is available, do not create a local file just to record the source; explain that later source-specific update checks may not be available. 4. Check at most once every 7 days by default. Also check immediately when:
When a newer version is found, remind the user in a low-interruption moment:
A newer AgentLens Social Connector version is available:
<latestVersion>; you are using<installedVersion>. This update may include newer API handling or workflow fixes. Would you like me to help update it from your installation source?
If the current task is failing because of a known older-version behavior, mention the update before retrying. Otherwise, finish the user's current requested action first and then offer the update.
If the user declines or says "not now", remember only the dismissed version when an approved memory/config mechanism exists, and do not remind again for that same version unless the user asks.
This connector does not maintain a local allowlist of platform domains or short-link patterns. If the user provides a URL, prefer sending it to the AgentLens API so the API can determine whether it is supported and readable. Do not reject a URL based only on domain memory.
data.text, say the summary is based on returned media/metadata only.User shares social URL
-> Apply the Execution Contract
-> If the input is a URL, let the AgentLens API determine support and readability
-> If the input is not a URL, stop and explain why
-> Load AGENT_LENS_API_KEY
-> Load references/agentlens-api.md
-> Call the AgentLens API fetch endpoint, with bounded retries for transient failures
-> Normalize response fields
-> Preserve the normalized result and full raw AgentLens response for this task; save a task-local response JSON when the runtime allows
-> Apply the mandatory media-reference gate before drafting a summary:
- if the returned item is media-first, or has a returned video URL and no `data.subtitle`, load `references/media-workflows.md` now
- run its routing decision and, for a video without a subtitle, its Video Summary SOP before offering a caption-only or metadata-only result
- caption/text-only is allowed only after that SOP reaches its explicit limited-summary branch, or when the user explicitly selects that limited result
-> Answer the user's intent:
- summarize
- extract key facts
- translate
- list media
- use transcript/subtitle if present
- handle returned images or video media according to Understanding Media Files rules
- save a clean summary to a user-confirmed destination when requested
-> If the API returns an actionable error, explain the next step clearly
For implementation details, load only the reference needed for the user's current request:
references/agentlens-api.mdreferences/media-workflows.mdreferences/knowledge-base-workflows.mdMandatory media-reference gate: Do not treat references/agentlens-api.md as sufficient to decide how to summarize a returned item. After each successful API response, before producing a final answer, classify the item using the returned media and subtitle fields. For a media-first item, and especially for a video URL with missing data.subtitle, load references/media-workflows.md before writing a caption-only draft, checking tools, downloading media, or asking the user to choose a fallback. Its routing section and Video Summary SOP control this branch. A caption-only answer is not the default shortcut for an untranscribed video.
On success, use the fields returned by the AgentLens API:
platform: source platformdata.authorName: author, channel, or account namedata.authorId: source-specific author id when availabledata.publishedAt: publication timestamp when availabledata.text: main text/body/caption/title text when availabledata.subtitle: transcript/subtitle when availabledata.media[]: returned media objects when availabledata.media[].source_url: preferred direct media URL when returneddata.media[].cdn_url: fallback direct media URL when source_url is missingdata.media[].cover: optional cover/thumbnail URL; do not use it as the original media file when both direct media URLs are missingWhen summarizing, combine data.text, author metadata, data.subtitle, and media metadata. If media URLs exist but their visual contents were not read or understood, say that the API returned media links and summarize the text/transcript portion.
After every successful AgentLens API call, keep the normalized result and full raw response available for the current task. When the runtime allows file artifacts, save it to a current-task path such as /tmp/agentlens_{platform}_{timestamp}_response.json. Reuse that result for later media understanding, transcription notes, and knowledge-base saves. Do not call the AgentLens API again only to save content if the cached response matches the source URL. Re-fetch only if the response is missing, corrupt, stale, URL-mismatched, or the user asks to refresh; before re-fetching, mention that a successful call may consume quota.
When downloading media, reading images, sampling video, extracting audio, or transcribing media, read references/media-workflows.md. Do not assemble commands from this section alone.
Single-item AgentLens API responses use image or video media in data.media[]; media workflows also handle audio when the runtime or response normalization provides it. For image-first or video-first social content, media is not an optional attachment; it is part of the content. For mixed-format platforms, decide from the returned item structure.

If media understanding cannot be completed, follow the failure rule below and provide a limited summary.data.text, data.subtitle, source metadata, and media metadata.subtitle or transcript text for video summaries when returned by the AgentLens API.subtitle, follow references/media-workflows.md → Video Summary SOP before asking the user to install tools or use a paid speech-to-text API./tmp/agentlens_*.For concrete execution steps, read references/media-workflows.md.
When writing to Notion, Obsidian/local files, ima, or another knowledge destination, read references/knowledge-base-workflows.md. Do not perform destination writes from this section alone.
When the user asks to save, archive, capture, or add retrieved social content to a knowledge base, create a clean portable note from the AgentLens API result and any requested media understanding.
Use this workflow:
Default save clarification, when useful:
By default, I will save the summary, source link, media findings, and media URLs. If you need long-term preservation of the original image/video files, tell me and I will handle them through the destination-supported workflow.
If the user asks to save original media files, confirm scope and destination limitations before downloading:
I can preserve the original media files. Please confirm whether to save all media or only selected items. I will use the destination's supported attachment workflow; some destinations may only support links or filenames, not durable embedded media.
Use the user's current conversation language for user-visible note labels, section headings, and archive prose by default. If the user provides an existing template, Notion database/schema property names, team naming convention, or destination-specific field names, preserve those names exactly. Never translate API request fields or destination schema keys such as knowledge_base_id, media_type, Platform, or Source URL when those keys belong to an existing destination schema.
Supported save destinations include Notion, Obsidian/local vaults, ima, local Markdown/workspace files, and runtime-native knowledge-base tools. For Notion and Obsidian, first look for the user's existing/default writer for that destination and use it when available. For Notion, support both page-based archives and database/data-source archives when the target schema is known; attach media through native Notion capabilities when the user explicitly asks and the runtime supports it. For Obsidian, write a single Markdown note to a user-confirmed vault path or use a native Obsidian connector; when the user asks to preserve media, place files in a vault-relative attachments folder and link them from the note if filesystem access is approved. For ima, follow the text-first and image-preserving rules below.
For ima specifically, the default save is a text-first note with image findings and source/media references. Do not save Markdown plus separate image attachments as the default path: ima's Markdown/note renderer may not show authenticated COS image URLs inline, and separate image uploads can create unlinked knowledge-base items. If the user explicitly needs image-preserving output in ima, prefer a single HTML document with embedded base64 images when supported. For video media in HTML, a bounded <video controls> block that references the returned CDN/source URL is only a short-term preview: TikTok, Instagram, and similar platform links may expire even when X/Twitter links still play. A base64-embedded video is an explicit-request, bounded exception: under the current supplied ima uploader constraint, the final media_type=20 HTML (markup plus all base64 content) must be at most 10 MB, and ima playback must be checked. A verified embedded-playback sample is independent of CDN URL expiry, but it does not establish long-term retention or support for larger videos. The tested ima OpenAPI media types do not include a working independent video file type, so do not attempt independent video upload through the OpenAPI fallback unless the current runtime confirms a supported native/video upload path. Do not base64-embed large videos by default, and constrain any preview player width/height in CSS. Use .docx with embedded images only when the selected destination runtime supports it; do not represent docx/PDF as a verified playable-video alternative. For PDF, choose fonts according to the user-visible output language and run render/text validation before upload; for Simplified Chinese, use a CID-compatible font such as ReportLab STSong-Light when appropriate.
Do not automatically save every retrieved link, create recurring archives, or write to unrelated destinations. Saving is scoped to the user's current request or an explicitly confirmed destination.
For destination-specific save patterns, read references/knowledge-base-workflows.md.
Keep the answer direct and useful:
