Workspace

What This Skill Does

The Workspace skill by massiveadam is a powerful implementation of the legacy "Gork" assistant within the OpenClaw ecosystem. It serves as a unified command center for your digital life, bridging the gap between your Obsidian vault, messaging platforms, and activity trackers. By leveraging a local SQLite database, it creates a robust layer of reliability that prevents data loss during file synchronizations, ensuring your task list remains accurate even when external services fail. It excels at automating daily clerical tasks, such as rolling over incomplete to-do items and parsing unstructured notes into actionable entries.

Installation

To integrate the Workspace skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/massiveadam/workspace. Once installed, you must populate your TOOLS.md file with the required API credentials, including your Slack user token, Strava authentication details, and Harvest access tokens. Ensure that the OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH correctly points to your local vault directory to allow the agent to manage your daily notes effectively.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for productivity enthusiasts and knowledge workers who rely on Obsidian for task management. It is particularly useful for tracking billable hours via Harvest directly from your notes, logging fitness metrics from Strava into your journal, and keeping a comprehensive archive of Slack mentions without manually copying text. It transforms your vault from a static note-taking tool into an interactive, AI-driven workspace.

Example Prompts

1. "Check my Slack and add any messages mentioning me as tasks in today's daily note."
2. "What was my average heart rate during my last Strava activity, and can you log that in my health summary?"
3. "Summarize the time I spent on the 'OpenClaw Documentation' project in Harvest this week and append it to my progress log."

Tips & Limitations

Always ensure the OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH is configured correctly, as incorrect paths will cause the agent to fail when reading or writing notes. The skill utilizes atomic writes, which is a significant safety feature; however, users should avoid editing files manually while the agent is processing a sync task. The reliance on local SQLite databases means that if you reset your environment, you should ensure your vault contents are backed up externally to maintain the task history sync.
