People Storage

All person data lives in your memory file. Load it before any operation:

~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/grupo-venus.json

Structure (we use Luis Alberto Spinetta as the example throughout this skill — because he's from another planet):

{
  "people": {
    "spinetta": {
      "name": "Luis Alberto Spinetta",
      "birthdate": "1/23/1950 4:35:00 PM",
      "city": "Buenos Aires",
      "country": "Argentina",
      "sex": "H",
      "tz_offset": "3",
      "lat_dms": "34S35",
      "lon_dms": "58W22",
      "lat_decimal": -34.5833,
      "lon_decimal": 58.3667,
      "style": "deep"
    }
  }
}

sex: H = Hombre (male), V = Varón/Mujer — use H for male, V for female. tz_offset: Hours from UTC, sign inverted: 3 = UTC-3 (Argentina), -1 = UTC+1 (Madrid). lat_dms / lon_dms: 34S35 = 34°35′S, 58W22 = 58°22′W. N/S and E/W are explicit. style: Communication style preference — casual, deep, or practical. See Voice & Style section.

If the file doesn't exist yet, create it with {"people": {}}.

Adding a Person

Step 1 — Look up the city coordinates

curl -s "https://grupovenus.com/buscaciudjson.asp?q=CITY&pais=COUNTRY"

Example:

curl -s "https://grupovenus.com/buscaciudjson.asp?q=Bahia+Blanca&pais=Argentina"
# → [{"label":"Bahia Blanca, Argentina"}]

This confirms the city/country string the server recognises. Use the exact spelling returned.

Step 2 — Register the person to get coordinates + timezone

The server requires a properly established session with Referer headers. Always use a cookie jar (-c/-b) — manually passing a single ASPSESSION cookie will result in "session expired" errors.

COOKIEJAR=$(mktemp)

# 2a. Establish session
curl -s -c "$COOKIEJAR" -b "$COOKIEJAR" "https://grupovenus.com/info.asp" \
  -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" > /dev/null

# 2b. Load the registration form (sets server-side session state)
curl -s -c "$COOKIEJAR" -b "$COOKIEJAR" "https://grupovenus.com/personas.asp?nue" \
  -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" \
  -H "Referer: https://grupovenus.com/info.asp" > /dev/null
