What This Skill Does

The freemobile-sms skill acts as a direct notification bridge between your OpenClaw AI agent and your personal mobile device. By leveraging the official Free Mobile SMS API, this skill allows the agent to push urgent alerts, reminders, or status updates directly to your phone via text message. It is designed specifically for users who subscribe to the Free Mobile plan in France and wish to receive real-time updates from their automation workflows without needing to check a browser or an email inbox.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw ecosystem, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dclauzel/freemobile-sms

Once installed, you must ensure your system environment variables are configured correctly. Set FREEMOBILE_SMS_USER and FREEMOBILE_SMS_API_KEY in your environment file. These credentials can be retrieved from your Free Mobile user space under the "Notifications par SMS" settings. Once configured, the agent will automatically detect these credentials and handle all outgoing requests.

Use Cases

• Critical Notifications: Receive immediate alerts when a long-running background task or server script encounters an error.
• Appointment Reminders: Have the AI ping your phone one hour before a meeting or scheduled task processed by your calendar tools.
• System Heartbeat: Get a daily "All systems operational" message or a security alert if the agent detects unauthorized access attempts on your local environment.

Example Prompts

1. "Send a text to my phone letting me know the database backup finished successfully."
2. "Hey, send an SMS to my Free mobile number: The download of the report is now complete."
3. "Text me a reminder to check the grocery order in 30 minutes using the FreeMobile gateway."

Tips & Limitations

To ensure optimal performance, keep in mind the following constraints. Each SMS is strictly limited to 160 characters; messages exceeding this length may be truncated or rejected by the gateway. There is a hard throttle on the API: you are limited to approximately 200-250 messages per day, and the system enforces a mandatory 10-second cooling-off period between consecutive sends. Furthermore, this skill only supports outgoing messages to your own validated Free Mobile number, enhancing security by preventing unauthorized relaying.
