daily-recap

What This Skill Does

The daily-recap skill is a specialized productivity and journaling tool for OpenClaw agents. It automates the end-of-day review process by scanning your agent’s internal memory files and recent cron task summaries. By distilling daily progress into a list of 4-6 key accomplishments, it creates a visual milestone. The skill integrates weather-awareness, ensuring your agent's generated appearance matches the local environmental context of your specified location. Finally, it uses the nano-banana-pro dependency to generate a stylized, high-quality image of your agent holding a physical posterboard, which is then delivered directly to your configured messaging platform.

Installation

To integrate daily-recap into your workflow, ensure your OpenClaw environment is updated. Run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dbhurley/daily-recap

Next, edit your clawdbot.json configuration file to include the required environment variables under skills.entries.daily-recap. Specifically, provide your RECAP_LOCATION and RECAP_CHAT_ID. Finally, register the execution frequency using the cron manager: clawdbot cron add --name "daily-recap" --schedule "0 17 * * *" --tz "America/New_York"

Use Cases

• Project Tracking: Developers can use the recap to visualize their progress on code repositories and merge requests.
• Habit Formation: Track daily goals such as hydration, meetings attended, or focus hours to keep yourself accountable.
• Automated Reporting: Managers or team leads can receive a consolidated image representing the agent's contributions to a shared channel.
• Creative Journaling: Provides a fun, visual summary of an AI's autonomous work throughout the day.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, run the daily-recap skill now to see what I achieved while I was away."
2. "Update my IDENTITY.md for the daily-recap skill to include a rain jacket since it's storming today."
3. "Generate a special end-of-week recap for my agent reflecting on our major project wins."

Tips & Limitations

• Posterboard Clarity: The visual generator works best with concise text. Aim for items between 3-5 words to prevent text clipping on the posterboard asset.
• Identity Integrity: To maintain visual consistency, update your IDENTITY.md file regularly with specific stylistic descriptors.
• Fallback Logic: If the system detects no completed tasks in memory, it will intelligently pivot to a 'relaxation' themed image rather than an error state.
• Dependencies: Note that this skill requires an active internet connection to query weather APIs and image generation models; failing to configure the network settings will result in generation failures.
