home-todo

What This Skill Does

The home-todo skill is an intelligent assistant module for OpenClaw that ensures you never forget personal tasks when you return home. By monitoring your activity within the OpenClaw Dashboard, this skill automatically reads a local markdown file containing your pending chores or errands and injects them directly into your chat interface. It serves as a persistent, ambient reminder system that bridges the gap between your digital requests and your physical household responsibilities.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cyberraccoonx/home-todo

Ensure that your OpenClaw workspace is properly initialized at ~/.openclaw/workspace/ as the skill relies on the .home-todos.md file located within that directory structure to store and retrieve your tasks.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for individuals looking to maintain a balance between digital productivity and physical home management. Common scenarios include:

• Tracking routine household maintenance such as watering plants or changing bed linens.
• Keeping a shopping list that you can review the moment you log into your dashboard.
• Managing quick evening chores that are easily forgotten after a long workday.
• Capturing spontaneous thoughts or tasks from mobile channels (like iMessage or Feishu) to ensure they are waiting for you in your main command center.

Example Prompts

You can send these messages from any connected platform to update your list:

1. "回家要干洗衣服"
2. "记一下，回家要修一下书架"
3. "提醒我回家后去取快递"

Tips & Limitations

• Formatting: Ensure you use the standard markdown checkbox syntax [ ] for pending tasks. If you mark a task as [x], the skill will automatically filter it out from the display.
• File Management: Since the skill reads the file at ~/.openclaw/workspace/.home-todos.md, you can manually edit this file in any text editor to perform bulk updates or organize your tasks using markdown headers.
• Performance: Because the skill triggers on every message sent to the Dashboard, it ensures high visibility. However, if your todo list becomes excessively long, consider cleaning up completed items to prevent the dashboard response from becoming cluttered. The skill is designed for personal reminders and is not meant to replace full-scale project management software.
