What is Knowledge Answer?
The Knowledge Answer skill is a specialized framework designed for AI agents to provide authoritative and verifiable information. It transforms raw search data into structured responses, ensuring that every claim is backed by a clickable citation. By integrating this into your workflow through Openclaw Skills, you enable your agent to maintain high standards of transparency and accuracy.
This skill is particularly effective for research-heavy tasks where source attribution is critical. It automatically handles language detection and temporal context, ensuring that answers are not only accurate but also culturally and chronologically relevant to the user's specific query.
Knowledge Answer Use Cases
- Fact-checking complex technical or academic queries using live web data.
- Generating research reports that require clickable, verifiable footnotes and source lists.
- Providing multilingual support for global users while maintaining consistent citation standards.
- Automating the synthesis of information from multiple search results into a single, coherent response.
How Knowledge Answer Works
- The skill identifies the user's primary language and captures the current system date via the $DATE$ variable.
- It processes information from search results to answer the user's specific prompt.
- Every relevant sentence is immediately followed by a citation mark in a specific clickable footnote format.
- A comprehensive, numbered reference list is generated at the end of the output, allowing for easy navigation to the original sources.
Knowledge Answer Setup
To integrate the Knowledge Answer skill into your agent, follow these steps within your environment:
# Install the skill via the Openclaw Skills manager
openclaw install knowledge-answer
# Configure the runtime environment variables
export DATE=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
Ensure that your agent configuration points to the Knowledge_Answer agent template to leverage the full suite of citation and reference formatting rules.
