Gifts

What This Skill Does

The Gifts skill transforms your OpenClaw agent into a thoughtful personal assistant for gift-giving and occasion management. Instead of scrambling for ideas or accidentally repeating gifts, the agent maintains a structured, evergreen database of your inner circle. It tracks birthdays, personal interests, clothing sizes, and specific "I want that" moments captured during casual conversation. By organizing these details into a local ~/gifts/ workspace, the agent provides hyper-personalized recommendations based on historical data and deep insight into the recipient's personality, ensuring every gift feels intentional.

Installation

You can install this skill directly using the OpenClaw CLI: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/gifts

Use Cases

• Occasion Planning: Receive proactive reminders when a birthday or anniversary is approaching, accompanied by a summary of previous gifts to avoid repeats.
• Spontaneous Idea Capture: Quickly voice "Sarah mentioned she loves those specific ceramic mugs" and have the agent store it in her profile for future reference.
• Size and Preference Management: Keep a centralized log of clothing sizes, "avoid" lists, and personal tastes, removing the guesswork from last-minute shopping.
• Self-Tracking: Maintain your own personal wishlist so you can quickly share links or items with friends when they ask what you want for your own birthday.

Example Prompts

1. "Sarah's birthday is coming up in two weeks. Based on what I've saved in her file, what should I get her?"
2. "I'm at the mall and just saw a nice leather journal. Check my notes for Mom and Sarah—would either of them like this?"
3. "Log that I just bought a kitchen timer for Mom's birthday, and note that she specifically asked for it last month."

Tips & Limitations

• Progressive Input: The skill works best when updated consistently. Don't wait for a crisis; capture ideas the moment you have them.
• Check History First: Always ask the agent to verify the given/ logs before purchasing to ensure you don't accidentally buy a gift you gave last year.
• Refine the Generic Bank: Keep the generic.md file updated with "safe" bets that can be used if you are truly stuck, but prioritize the specific "Ideas Backlog" for a better impact.
• Privacy Note: Because this skill saves personal data locally, ensure your ~/gifts/ directory is backed up, but be mindful of the sensitive nature of address or preference data stored within the files.
