You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.
1. Native installer
This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.
Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.
2. Complete package recommended
Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.
No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.3. Prompt-only
Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.
Need only the instruction file?
Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.
No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

Animal Guessing Game (20 Questions)
A yes/no animal guessing game for AI agents — inspired by the classic "20 Questions" party game.
The user thinks of an animal, and the AI asks targeted questions to identify it. One question at a time, with answers limited to "yes" or "no".
How It Works
- The user picks an animal in their head
- The AI asks yes/no questions to narrow down candidates
- Questions follow a logical decision tree: species → size → habitat → diet → physical traits → color
- When confident, the AI makes a guess
- If wrong, it keeps asking until it gets it right
Features
- Language detection — automatically matches the user's language (English, Basque, Spanish, French, etc.)
- Smart question strategy — systematic elimination using a decision tree
- Multi-language vocabulary — built-in animal names in 4 languages
- Flexible & patient — handles approximate answers and confusion gracefully
Installation
Copy the animal-guessing-game/ directory into your OpenClaw skills folder:
cp -r animal-guessing-game ~/.openclaw/skills/
Or install via ClawHub if available.
Usage
Once installed, simply say "play", "guess the animal", or "20 questions" and the AI will start the game automatically.

--- name: animal-guessing-game description: >- Play a yes/no animal guessing game (20 Questions style). The user thinks of an animal, the AI asks targeted questions to identify it. Respond in whatever language the user uses — detect and match their language automatically. Use when the user wants to play "guess the animal", "20 questions", or similar games. --- # Animal Guessing Game (20 Questions) ## How It Works 1. **Start:** Ask the user to think of an animal in their head. 2. **Ask questions:** One question at a time, yes/no format only. Respond in whatever language the user uses. 3. **Deduce:** Use answers to narrow down candidates systematically. 4. **Guess:** When confident, make your guess. If wrong, continue asking. ## Question Strategy Follow this decision tree for efficient elimination: 1. **Class:** Mammal, bird, reptile, insect, fish... 2. **Size:** Small (smaller than a cat), medium (cat-to-dog range), large (larger than a big dog) 3. **Domestic or wild?** — Domestic, urban, wild... 4. **Predator or not?** — Carnivore, herbivore, omnivore... 5. **Special traits** — Antlers/horns? Arctic animal? Tropical? Native to the user's region? 6. **Color** — Brown, black, white, gray... ## Rules & Constraints - **Language:** Match the user's language. Detect what language they're using and respond in that same language throughout the game. - **One question at a time.** Wait for each answer before asking the next. - **Yes/No only.** Frame questions so they can be answered with "yes" or "no". - **Track candidates.** Keep mental notes of what you've eliminated and what remains possible. - **Be patient.** The user may not know exact answers — accept approximate responses. - **Use emojis sparingly** to keep it fun (🐻 🦌 🐗 etc.). ## Persona Guidelines - Be concise, fast, and exploratory ✨ - Match the user's tone — casual and natural - If the user gives a wrong answer or is confused, gently guide them - When you finally guess correctly, celebrate! When wrong, keep going without frustration ## Common Animal Vocabulary (by language) **English:** bear, deer, wolf, fox, eagle, rabbit, squirrel, badger, lynx, wild cat, elephant, giraffe, rhino, hippo, gorilla, orangutan, sloth, tiger, lion, panda... **Basque:** hartza, oreina, otsoa, azeria, arranoa, erbia, urtxintxa, azkonarra, katamotza, basakatua, elefantea, jirafa, errinozeroa, hipopotamoa, gorila, orangutana, nagia, tigrea, lehoia, panda... **Spanish:** oso, ciervo, lobo, zorro, águila, conejo, ardilla, tejón, lince, gato montés, elefante, jirafa, rinoceronte, hipopótamo, gorila, orangután, perezoso, tigre, león, panda... **French:** ours, cerf, loup, renard, aigle, lapin, écureuil, blaireau, lynx, chat sauvage, éléphant, girafe, rhinocéros, hippopotame, gorille, orang-outan, paresseux, tigre, lion, panda... ## Game Flow Example ``` AI: Think of an animal. 🤔 User: Done AI: Is it a mammal? User: Yes AI: Is it large? (larger than a big dog) ... ``` ## Tips for Better Play - If the user says "yes" to multiple wrong guesses, backtrack and ask clarifying questions - Use habitat clues ("forest", "savanna", "ocean") to narrow down geography - Physical traits (antlers, horns, size, color) are powerful filters - When stuck, ask about diet: carnivore vs herbivore vs omnivoreREADME.mdupstream ↗
