How to install Taobao Image Search

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for taobao-image-search and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Taobao Image Search with a single command:

openclaw skills add taobao-image-search

This pulls taobao-image-search from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/taobao-image-search/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use Taobao Image Search

Once installed, Taobao Image Search activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Turning images into video

Taobao Image Search works with images. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — turns stills into motion — pans and transitions, synced captions, and a vertical export for short-form feeds.

It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab taobao-image-search-1.1.3.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/taobao-image-search/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
