What This Skill Does

The Meetup Planner skill is a comprehensive event discovery and management tool designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily workflow. At its core, it acts as a proactive personal assistant that monitors the internet for gatherings, workshops, webinars, and meetups that align with your specific professional or personal interests. Once initialized, the skill performs a mandatory bootstrap process to calibrate your preferences and configure its search tools. Its primary functions include automated daily event scouting, where it combs the web for relevant opportunities; smart event tracking, which logs discovered items into a local workspace; and intelligent reminder management, ensuring you are notified exactly 24 hours and 2 hours before your confirmed events occur. By utilizing local data storage for your preferences and schedules, it minimizes external exposure while maximizing your efficiency in staying engaged with your community.

Installation

To add this capability to your agent, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/apresmoi/meetup-planner. Upon the first execution of the skill, the agent will trigger the BOOTSTRAP.md workflow. This interactive setup will verify that you have the necessary web search and crawling tools installed. If these dependencies are missing, the agent will guide you through the process of providing or installing the required search tools. The entire setup typically concludes within three minutes, establishing the necessary events.json and user-preferences.json files for your local workspace.

Use Cases

1. Professional Networking: Automatically discover upcoming industry conferences, local tech meetups, or webinars related to your field of expertise to advance your career.
2. Personal Enrichment: Keep track of local workshops, hobbyist group meetings, or community events based on your personal interests, ensuring you never miss a sign-up deadline.
3. Event Logistics: Manage your calendar effectively by having the agent track registration links and handle the scheduling of reminders for multiple events, preventing scheduling conflicts and missed notifications.

Example Prompts

1. "I'm interested in the upcoming JavaScript Workshop, please track it for me and set up the necessary reminders."
2. "Show me all the events I have tracked for this month and let me know if any require immediate registration."
3. "Update my preferences: I am no longer interested in generic networking events, but I would like to see more focused AI and Machine Learning seminars."

Tips & Limitations

For the best results, ensure your web crawling tools have sufficient permissions and that your search preferences are as specific as possible to avoid receiving excessive, irrelevant notifications. The skill relies heavily on the quality of your search provider; if search results are poor, consider refining your preference criteria. Note that all reminders are local; ensure your computer is running or your system supports background tasks for the scheduled notifications to trigger at the correct times.
