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.

Category	Emoji	Purpose
Quick	⚡	Clarifications, definitions, immediate next steps
Deep Dive	🧠	Technical depth, advanced concepts, thorough exploration
Related	🔗	Connected topics, broader context, alternatives

Authentication

Default: Uses OpenClaw's existing auth — same login and model as your current chat.

Optional providers:

openrouter — Requires OPENROUTER_API_KEY
anthropic — Requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Configuration

{
  "skills": {
    "smart-followups": {
      "enabled": true,
      "provider": "openclaw",
      "model": null
    }
  }
}

Option	Default	Description
`provider`	`"openclaw"`	Auth provider: `openclaw`, `openrouter`, `anthropic`
`model`	`null`	Model override (null = inherit from session)
`apiKey`	—	API key for non-openclaw providers

Channel Support

Channel	Mode	Interaction
Telegram	Buttons	Tap to ask
Discord	Buttons	Click to ask
Slack	Buttons	Click to ask
Signal	Text	Reply 1-3
WhatsApp	Text	Reply 1-3
iMessage	Text	Reply 1-3
SMS	Text	Reply 1-3

See CHANNELS.md for detailed channel documentation.

How It Works
