martin-pv Smart Follow-ups Skill
Generate contextual follow-up suggestions for OpenClaw conversations.
🚀 Slash Command (New in v2.1.0!)
Primary command:
/followups
Aliases:
/fu
/suggestions
When you type /followups, I'll generate 3 contextual follow-up questions based on our conversation:
- ⚡ Quick — Clarification or immediate next step
- 🧠 Deep Dive — Technical depth or detailed exploration
- 🔗 Related — Connected topic or broader context
How to Trigger
| Method | Example | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
/followups |
Just type it! | ✅ Yes |
/fu |
Short alias | ✅ Yes |
| Natural language | "give me suggestions" | Works too |
| After any answer | "what should I ask next?" | Works too |
Usage
Say "followups" in any conversation:
You: What is Docker?
Bot: Docker is a containerization platform...
You: /followups
Bot: 💡 What would you like to explore next?
[⚡ How do I install Docker?]
[🧠 Explain container architecture]
[🔗 Docker vs Kubernetes?]
On button channels (Telegram/Discord/Slack): Tap a button to ask that question.
On text channels (Signal/WhatsApp/iMessage/SMS): Reply with 1, 2, or 3.
Categories
Each generation produces 3 suggestions:
| Category | Emoji | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Quick | ⚡ | Clarifications, definitions, immediate next steps |
| Deep Dive | 🧠 | Technical depth, advanced concepts, thorough exploration |
| Related | 🔗 | Connected topics, broader context, alternatives |
