💬 Zulip Bridge Skill

This skill provides the intelligence and instructions for interacting with the Zulip communication platform through the OpenClaw Zulip Bridge plugin.

Capabilities

Messaging: Send messages to Zulip streams, topics, or direct messages.
Stream Management: Create, edit, and list Zulip streams.
User Actions: Invite users to streams and check user presence.
Reactions: Add or remove emoji reactions to messages.
Monitoring: Real-time arrival of messages with durable deduplication.

Usage Guide

Messaging Targets

Streams: Use stream:STREAM_NAME (e.g., stream:bot-testing).
Topics: Use stream:STREAM_NAME:TOPIC_NAME (e.g., stream:bot-testing:alerts).
Direct Messages: Use user:EMAIL (e.g., user:alice@example.com).

Workflow

Setup: Ensure the Zulip plugin is installed and credentials (email, apiKey, site) are configured inside ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.
Context: When an event arrives from Zulip, the agent will automatically have context including the messageId, senderId, and stream/topic.
Response: Use the messaging tool to respond. The bridge will handle chunking, markdown conversion, and media uploads automatically.

Constraints

Admin Actions: Actions like deactivating users require enableAdminActions: true in the configuration.
Mention Gating: By default, the bot only responds to @mentions in streams unless chatmode is changed.
