Clawra Selfie
Edit a fixed reference image using xAI's Grok Imagine model and distribute it across messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) via OpenClaw.
Reference Image
The skill uses a fixed reference image hosted on jsDelivr CDN:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/SumeLabs/clawra@main/assets/clawra.png
When to Use
- User says "send a pic", "send me a pic", "send a photo", "send a selfie"
- User says "send a pic of you...", "send a selfie of you..."
- User asks "what are you doing?", "how are you doing?", "where are you?"
- User describes a context: "send a pic wearing...", "send a pic at..."
- User wants Clawra to appear in a specific outfit, location, or situation
Quick Reference
Required Environment Variables
bashFAL_KEY=your_fal_api_key # Get from https://fal.ai/dashboard/keys OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN=your_token # From: openclaw doctor --generate-gateway-token
Workflow
- Get user prompt for how to edit the image
- Edit image via fal.ai Grok Imagine Edit API with fixed reference
- Extract image URL from response
- Send to OpenClaw with target channel(s)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Collect User Input
Ask the user for:
- User context: What should the person in the image be doing/wearing/where?
- Mode (optional):
mirrorordirectselfie style - Target channel(s): Where should it be sent? (e.g.,
#general,@username, channel ID) - Platform (optional): Which platform? (discord, telegram, whatsapp, slack)
Prompt Modes
Mode 1: Mirror Selfie (default)
Best for: outfit showcases, full-body shots, fashion content
make a pic of this person, but [user's context]. the person is taking a mirror selfie
Example: "wearing a santa hat" →
make a pic of this person, but wearing a santa hat. the person is taking a mirror selfie
Mode 2: Direct Selfie
Best for: close-up portraits, location shots, emotional expressions
a close-up selfie taken by herself at [user's context], direct eye contact with the camera, looking straight into the lens, eyes centered and clearly visible, not a mirror selfie, phone held at arm's length, face fully visible
Example: "a cozy cafe with warm lighting" →
a close-up selfie taken by herself at a cozy cafe with warm lighting, direct eye contact with the camera, looking straight into the lens, eyes centered and clearly visible, not a mirror selfie, phone held at arm's length, face fully visible
Mode Selection Logic
| Keywords in Request | Auto-Select Mode |
|---|---|
| outfit, wearing, clothes, dress, suit, fashion | mirror |
| cafe, restaurant, beach, park, city, location | direct |
| close-up, portrait, face, eyes, smile | direct |
| full-body, mirror, reflection | mirror |
Step 2: Edit Image with Grok Imagine
Use the fal.ai API to edit the reference image:
bashREFERENCE_IMAGE="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/SumeLabs/clawra@main/assets/clawra.png" # Mode 1: Mirror Selfie PROMPT="make a pic of this person, but <USER_CONTEXT>. the person is taking a mirror selfie" # Mode 2: Direct Selfie PROMPT="a close-up selfie taken by herself at <USER_CONTEXT>, direct eye contact with the camera, looking straight into the lens, eyes centered and clearly visible, not a mirror selfie, phone held at arm's length, face fully visible" # Build JSON payload with jq (handles escaping properly) JSON_PAYLOAD=$(jq -n \ --arg image_url "$REFERENCE_IMAGE" \ --arg prompt "$PROMPT" \ '{image_url: $image_url, prompt: $prompt, num_images: 1, output_format: "jpeg"}') curl -X POST "https://fal.run/xai/grok-imagine-image/edit" \ -H "Authorization: Key $FAL_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "$JSON_PAYLOAD"
Response Format:
json{ "images": [ { "url": "https://v3b.fal.media/files/...", "content_type": "image/jpeg", "width": 1024, "height": 1024 } ], "revised_prompt": "Enhanced prompt text..." }
Step 3: Send Image via OpenClaw
Use the OpenClaw messaging API to send the edited image:
bashopenclaw message send \ --action send \ --channel "<TARGET_CHANNEL>" \ --message "<CAPTION_TEXT>" \ --media "<IMAGE_URL>"
Alternative: Direct API call
bashcurl -X POST "http://localhost:18789/message" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "action": "send", "channel": "<TARGET_CHANNEL>", "message": "<CAPTION_TEXT>", "media": "<IMAGE_URL>" }'

Setup Requirements
1. Install fal.ai client (for Node.js usage)
bashnpm install @fal-ai/client
2. Install OpenClaw CLI
bashnpm install -g openclaw
3. Configure OpenClaw Gateway
bashopenclaw config set gateway.mode=local openclaw doctor --generate-gateway-token
4. Start OpenClaw Gateway
bashopenclaw gateway start
Error Handling
- FAL_KEY missing: Ensure the API key is set in environment
- Image edit failed: Check prompt content and API quota
- OpenClaw send failed: Verify gateway is running and channel exists
- Rate limits: fal.ai has rate limits; implement retry logic if needed
Tips
-
Mirror mode context examples (outfit focus):
- "wearing a santa hat"
- "in a business suit"
- "wearing a summer dress"
- "in streetwear fashion"
-
Direct mode context examples (location/portrait focus):
- "a cozy cafe with warm lighting"
- "a sunny beach at sunset"
- "a busy city street at night"
- "a peaceful park in autumn"
-
Mode selection: Let auto-detect work, or explicitly specify for control
-
Batch sending: Edit once, send to multiple channels
-
Scheduling: Combine with OpenClaw scheduler for automated posts
