What This Skill Does
Trigger any of 84+ Alter macOS app actions via x-callback-urls from the command line or Clawdbot. Actions span writing, translation, summarization, code, git, social media, email, and more. Works by constructing and opening alter:// URLs with encoded parameters.
Exposes all Alter AI actions programmatically so they can be chained, scripted, or triggered from any tool without manual UI interaction.
When to use it
- Fix a code error by passing the error message to fix-code action
- Translate selected text to Japanese without leaving the terminal
- Generate a git commit message from staged diff
- Summarize a long email thread to a few bullet points
- Convert meeting transcript to structured notes via meeting-scribe
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: translate this error message to French and fix the code
- 1Call findActions('translate') to confirm action ID
- 2Call triggerAction('translate', errorMessage, { language: 'French' }) to translate
- 3Call triggerAction('fix-code', translatedError) to pass to code fixer
- 4Return the resulting x-callback-url sequence to the user
Two alter:// URLs triggered in sequence; Alter processes each action on the selected content
