Control Govee smart lights via the Govee API. An agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills.
- Works in 3 steps: Get API key from Govee Developer Portal → Set environment variable: export… → Install dependencies: pip3 install…
- Controlling individual lights
- SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, Natural Language Patterns, Setup and Usage Examples, plus 1 more section
- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3 and pip3; needs GOVEE_API_KEY
What it does
Govee Lights is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Control Govee smart lights via the Govee API. Supports turning lights on/off, adjusting brightness, setting colors, and scenes. Use for: (1) Controlling individual lights or groups by name, (2) Setting colors and brightness, (3) Managing device states
Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/TROUBLESHOOTING.md` and `scripts/govee.py`).
It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- Controlling individual lights
- Setting colors and brightness
- Managing device states
Example prompts
- “/govee-lights”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in GOVEE_API_KEY
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Get API key from Govee Developer Portal
- Set environment variable: export GOVEE_API_KEY="your-key"
- Install dependencies: pip3 install requests
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3pip3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
developer.govee.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GOVEE_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Govee Lights loads about 411 tokens when it runs, and up to ~648 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 102 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 102 words (~411 tokens).
“Control Govee smart lights using natural language commands.”
