Smart Follow-ups Skill

Generate contextual follow-up suggestions for Clawdbot conversations.

How to Trigger

Say any of these to get follow-up suggestions:

Trigger	Example
`followups`	"followups"
`follow-ups`	"give me follow-ups"
`suggestions`	"any suggestions?"
`what next`	"what should I ask next?"

Note: This is a keyword the agent recognizes, not a registered /slash command. Clawdbot skills are guidance docs that tell the agent how to respond.

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 Clawdbot'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": "clawdbot",
      "model": null
    }
  }
}

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

Clawdbot answers that question
