beeminder
Beeminder API for goal tracking and commitment devices. Use when checking Beeminder goals, adding datapoints, viewing due goals, managing commitments, or tracking habits. Triggers on "beeminder", "goals due", "add datapoint", "track habit", "goal status", "derail".
Why use this skill?
Integrate Beeminder with OpenClaw to track habits and goals automatically. Manage commitments, log datapoints, and avoid derailing with ease.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ruigomeseu/beeminderWhat This Skill Does
The Beeminder skill provides a robust interface for interacting with the Beeminder API directly through your OpenClaw agent. Beeminder is a powerful commitment device that uses financial and social pressure to help users achieve their goals. By integrating this skill, your agent can monitor your progress, identify goals that are at risk of derailing, and automatically log new data points as you complete tasks. It supports complex operations such as listing all tracked goals, filtering for goals due today, adding new data points with idempotent request IDs to prevent duplicates, and updating or removing previous entries.
Installation
To install this skill, use the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ruigomeseu/beeminder
Once installed, you must configure your environment variables to enable authentication. Ensure you have set the following in your shell or configuration file:
BEEMINDER_USERNAME: Your personal Beeminder account username.BEEMINDER_AUTH_TOKEN: Your secret authentication token, which can be retrieved from the Beeminder website under your API settings.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for users who want to gamify their productivity without manually switching tabs. Use it to:
- Automatically report progress after finishing a coding session or reading a chapter of a book.
- Receive proactive alerts when a goal enters the "red" zone and is at risk of derailing.
- Keep a synchronized log of daily habits, ensuring that your commitment data is always up-to-date with your actual output.
- Perform quick checks during morning stand-ups or evening reviews to see what needs attention.
Example Prompts
- "Check my Beeminder goals and tell me which ones are due today or in the red."
- "Add a datapoint of 30 minutes to my 'coding' goal and add a comment saying 'Finished refactoring module'."
- "What is the current status of my 'exercise' goal and how much more do I need to do to be safe today?"
Tips & Limitations
- Idempotency: Always utilize the
requestidparameter when adding data points through automated scripts or workflows to prevent duplicate entries if a network request hangs. - Buffering: Keep an eye on the
safebuffield; a value of 0 or less indicates that you are at risk of losing money if you do not act immediately. - Rate Limits: Be mindful of excessive polling intervals if building custom agents on top of this skill, as the Beeminder API enforces rate limits on excessive requests.
- Data Integrity: Because this tool modifies your commitment data, verify your inputs before calling the add-datapoint function.
