qr-generator-pay_skill

Overview

This skill generates QR codes quickly and integrates with SkillPay for paid features. It is designed as a practical command-line utility that prioritizes speed and reliable output. Configure a SkillPay API key to enable premium capabilities and billing.

How this skill works

The tool runs from the command line and produces QR code images or data strings based on input text or URLs. It checks for a SkillPay API key in the local config file to unlock paid features such as higher resolution, advanced encoding, or usage tracking. Outputs can be saved to common image formats or piped into other tools for automation.

When to use it

• You need fast, scriptable QR code generation from the command line.
• Distributing links, tickets, or device pairing codes in automated workflows.
• Producing high-resolution QR codes for print or marketing materials.
• Embedding QR creation into CI/CD or content pipelines that require billing tracking.
• Generating multiple codes in batch for events or product labeling.

Best practices

• Store the SkillPay API key in ~/.openclaw/workspace/config/qr-generator.json and protect that file with appropriate permissions.
• Use high error correction levels for printed materials to improve scan reliability.
• Automate batch generation with scripts and name files with meaningful identifiers.
• Validate generated codes with a scanner during testing before mass production.
• Limit output size for on-screen use and increase resolution only for print.

Example use cases

• Generate a QR code for an event ticket and embed it into a PDF ticket template.
• Create product-label QR codes in bulk and save them to a numbered filename pattern.
• Produce short URLs as QR codes for a marketing campaign, using premium encoding for analytics.
• Integrate QR generation into a device provisioning script to display pairing codes.
• Automate QR creation in a CI job that produces assets for a website release.
