Baidu Baike Skill

Query Baidu Baike encyclopedia entries from OpenClaw.

Purpose

This skill enables two main scenarios:

1. Direct search by keyword - Get the default matching entry for a term
2. Homonym resolution - When multiple entries share the same name, list them and let user select specific one

Quick Start

export BAIDU_API_KEY="your_api_key"

# Scenario 1: Direct search
python3 scripts/baidu_baike.py --search_type=lemmaTitle --search_key="Andy Lau"

# Scenario 2: List homonyms
python3 scripts/baidu_baike.py --search_type=lemmaList --search_key="Liu Dehua" --top_k=5

# Then query specific entry by ID
python3 scripts/baidu_baike.py --search_type=lemmaId --search_key="114923"

API

• LemmaList: List entries with same title (for homonym resolution)
• LemmaContent: Get detailed entry content by title or ID

Workflow for OpenClaw Agent

1. Extract noun from user query
2. If term likely has homonyms (common names, ambiguous terms), call LemmaList first
3. Show user the list with IDs and descriptions
4. User selects entry ID (or agent uses default entry)
5. Call LemmaContent with selected ID
6. Return structured entry data to user

Response Format

Returns JSON with:

• lemma_id: Entry ID
• lemma_title: Entry title
• lemma_desc: Short description
• url: Baike page URL
• abstract_plain: Plain text summary
• card: Information cards (attributes)
• albums: Image albums
• pic_url: Main image URL
