Reminder

What This Skill Does

The Reminder skill by ryanhong666 acts as your personal AI secretary within the OpenClaw ecosystem. It bridges the gap between natural language interaction and structured task management by transforming casual conversational inputs—such as "remind me about my meeting tomorrow"—into persistent, git-synchronized event records. By utilizing the reminders/events.yml file, the skill ensures that your schedule is portable and easy to back up, while the integration with OpenClaw's built-in cron utility allows for timely, automated Telegram notifications.

Installation

To integrate this assistant into your workflow, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ryanhong666/reminder After installation, ensure your workspace is configured properly. The skill will automatically reference your ~/.openclaw/workspace/ directory to manage event files, keeping your data segregated from the core application logic.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for professionals and individuals looking to offload cognitive burden. Use it to track recurring business meetings, manage personal project deadlines, or keep an organized log of birthdays and anniversaries. It is particularly effective for users who require a low-friction input method; rather than opening a calendar app, you simply speak to your OpenClaw agent.

Example Prompts

1. "Remind me about the quarterly review meeting this Friday at 3 PM."
2. "Add my mother's birthday to the calendar for next month, on the 12th."
3. "What do I have scheduled for the upcoming week?"

Tips & Limitations

• Precision: The skill is designed to handle natural language parsing; however, if you are providing a date like 'next month', verify the agent has correctly interpreted the month based on the current date.
• Syncing: Because data is saved to a YAML file, it is highly recommended to version control your ~/.openclaw/workspace folder using Git to ensure your reminders are synchronized across all your devices.
• TimeZone: Always ensure your REMINDER_TZ environment variable is correctly set to your local time zone to ensure cron jobs fire accurately.
• Safety: The skill performs file reads and writes; ensure your workspace directory has appropriate permissions for your user account.
