What This Skill Does

The Granola skill enables seamless integration between your Granola AI meeting notes and the OpenClaw agent ecosystem. It serves as a bridge for accessing your professional meeting history, providing capabilities to parse historical CSV exports, fetch live shared notes via public URLs, and prepare your local environment for upcoming native MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. By centralizing these meeting insights, the skill empowers the AI to understand your discussions, extract action items, and maintain context across your professional communications. It acts as an intermediary layer that transforms static notes into actionable data streams for your AI agent.

Installation

To install this skill, use the clawhub command-line tool. Ensure your environment has the necessary Python dependencies for parsing scripts:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mvanhorn/granola-notes

After installation, you can verify the setup by running the provided CSV import script against a test file from your downloads folder. For future MCP compatibility, ensure your environment variables are configured correctly once the Granola MCP server is officially released by their team.

Use Cases

• Retrospective Analysis: Users can search through months of historical meeting data to identify recurring themes, project decisions, or specific project milestones.
• Preparation & Contextual Awareness: When combined with live calendar or context tools, this skill allows the agent to summarize notes from a specific 1:1 or stakeholder meeting just before a follow-up interaction.
• Action Item Tracking: Extract lists of to-dos from unstructured note text, ensuring that commitments made in verbal meetings are captured and stored in your task manager.

Example Prompts

1. "Search my Granola notes for any mention of the new Q3 product roadmap and summarize the key decisions."
2. "I'm meeting with Sarah later; can you pull the notes from our last shared meeting link and extract the open action items?"
3. "Look through my imported meeting CSVs and list all dates where we discussed budget adjustments."

Tips & Limitations

• CSV Limitations: Granola's CSV export feature is primarily for archiving and only includes notes older than 30 days. It does not provide full verbatim transcripts. If you need immediate access to a recent meeting, use the shared link feature.
• Data Privacy: Be mindful of sharing sensitive meeting URLs. Ensure you are only granting the agent access to notes that do not contain confidential or restricted information.
• Future-Proofing: Keep your local environment updated. The transition from manual CSV parsing to official MCP integration will significantly improve the speed and depth of the insights the agent can provide.
