README (SKILL.md)

The Answer Book / 答案之书

A digital version of "The Book of Answers" with both English and Chinese pages. Hold a yes/no (or "should I") question in your mind, then flip to a random page.

Language selection (important)

Pick the language that matches the user's question / the language they're chatting in:

User wrote in English → use --lang en (or omit, en is default)
User wrote in Chinese → use --lang zh
Mixed / unclear → default to the language the user used in their most recent message

Never mix languages in a single answer — the book speaks one language per flip.

Usage

# auto English
python3 scripts/get_answer.py

# explicit language
python3 scripts/get_answer.py --lang en
python3 scripts/get_answer.py --lang zh

# specific page (1-100ish, language still required for choice)
python3 scripts/get_answer.py --lang zh 42
python3 scripts/get_answer.py --lang en 42

The script returns a single short answer plus the page number, in the requested language.

How to present the result

State the page number.
Show the answer line, prominently.
Optionally add one short sentence inviting the user to interpret it themselves — don't over-explain.

Extending

Edit scripts/get_answer.py and add new entries to ANSWERS_EN or ANSWERS_ZH. Keep each entry short, declarative, and open to interpretation.

Usage Guidance

This skill appears internally consistent and low-risk: it runs a local Python script that prints a randomly selected short answer from bundled lists in English or Chinese. Before installing, confirm you trust the skill author (it’s from an unknown source) and that running arbitrary Python code in your agent environment is acceptable. If you or other users plan to edit ANSWERS_EN / ANSWERS_ZH, avoid inserting code that fetches remote content or reads secrets. Note: the agent will need a Python 3 runtime available to execute the script.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: answer-book Version: 1.1.0 The 'answer-book' skill is a simple utility that provides random philosophical answers in English or Chinese. The Python script (scripts/get_answer.py) contains hardcoded lists of strings and uses standard libraries to select and return an answer; it performs no network, file system, or sensitive environment operations.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the included code and runtime instructions. The script contains only in-repo answer lists and selects a random (or specified) page; no unrelated credentials, binaries, or services are requested.

✓ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the provided Python script with an optional language flag or page number and to present the result. It does not direct reading of unrelated files, access to environment variables, or transmission of data to external endpoints.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only), and the included code is a small local Python script. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk beyond executing the packaged script.

✓ Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The script runs locally and does not access secrets or external services.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request permanent presence or modify other skills or system-wide settings.

How to Use
