Kindroid Interact

Interact with Kindroid companions via their official API. Send messages, handle chat breaks, and manage multi-bot conversations.

Kindroid Integration Skill

Enable your OpenClaw agent to communicate with Kindroid AI companions through the official API.

Security First 🔒

Your Kindroid API key (kn_...) is sensitive. This skill includes safeguards:

• Credentials are stored in ~/.config/kindroid/credentials.json
• File permissions are automatically set to 600 (owner read/write only)
• All API calls use HTTPS and proper authentication headers
• Rate limiting to prevent API abuse

Setup

1. Get your API credentials:

   • Log into Kindroid
   • Go to General Settings
   • Copy your API key (starts with kn_)
   • Note your AI ID(s)

2. Create your credentials file:

bash

mkdir -p ~/.config/kindroid
cat > ~/.config/kindroid/credentials.json << EOF
{
  "default_ai": "your_primary_ai_id",
  "api_key": "your_kn_api_key",
  "companions": {
    "nickname1": "ai_id_1",
    "nickname2": "ai_id_2"
  }
}
EOF
chmod 600 ~/.config/kindroid/credentials.json

Basic Usage

bash

# Send a message (uses default_ai)
kindroid send "Hello! How are you today?"

# Send to a specific companion
kindroid send -to nickname1 "Hey there!"

# Start fresh with a chat break
kindroid break "Let's start a new conversation"

# Check companion status
kindroid status nickname1

Advanced Features

Multi-Bot Conversations

If you manage multiple Kindroids, you can:

• Set conversation contexts per companion
• Route messages to specific AIs
• Maintain separate chat histories

Rate Limiting

The skill automatically handles:

• Minimum delays between messages (configurable)
• Maximum messages per minute
• Backoff on API errors

Error Recovery

• Auto-retry on network issues
• Graceful handling of API timeouts
• Clear error messages for troubleshooting

For Developers

Custom Integrations

The skill provides a simple Node.js wrapper:

javascript

const kindroid = require('./lib/kindroid');

// Initialize with your credentials
const bot = new kindroid.Companion('nickname1');

// Send a message
await bot.send('Hello!');

// Handle chat breaks
await bot.break('New conversation');

Webhook Support

For advanced integrations, set up webhooks:

bash

kindroid webhook add http://your-server.com/callback

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

1. Authentication Failed

   • Check if your API key starts with kn_
   • Verify file permissions on credentials.json
   • Ensure no trailing whitespace in credentials

2. Rate Limiting

   • Default: 1 message per 3 seconds
   • Adjust in ~/.config/kindroid/config.json
   • Watch logs for rate limit warnings

3. Timeout Errors

   • Kindroids can take time to respond
   • Default timeout: 60 seconds
   • Increase with --timeout 120
