openclaw

Use when the user asks to use a consumer integration that is not set up yet: WhatsApp as Me, Email, Google Workspace, Apple Notes, Apple Reminders, Telegram as Me, Google Maps Search, or creative audio. Route here only when the right integration exists but is blocked by missing login, OAuth, QR pairing, permissions, local dependency setup, configuration, or API credentials, and the response should guide setup in product language instead of dumping CLI commands.

Use for Google Workspace requests tied to Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, or Contacts, especially when the user explicitly mentions Google or needs cross-surface Google account access. Prefer this over generic email skills when the task is clearly in the Google ecosystem.

Use when the user asks to triage messages, emails, chats, inboxes, unread messages, recent messages, open replies, who they owe replies to, outreach, or reply drafting across one or more channels such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail/email, Slack, Signal, iMessage, browser portals, or files. For broad sweeps, first produce a scoped prioritized triage list; for one known target, use single-thread draft mode. Always require user approval before any external reply/send.

Use for generic email tasks on connected mail accounts: search, read, summarize, draft, reply, forward, send, and organize email over IMAP/SMTP. This is the better match for normal mailbox work that is not specifically a Gmail or Google Workspace request.

Use for Telegram-as-me requests on this Mac: reading, sending, replying, or waiting as the user's real Telegram account. Do not use it for the normal Telegram bot channel, BotFather setup, or generic bot onboarding.

Send WhatsApp messages to other people or search/sync WhatsApp history via the wacli CLI (not for normal user chats).

Help choose what to eat, pick from a menu or menu photo, find a restaurant or cafe nearby, compare delivery options, or choose a meal within dietary, budget, time, energy, comfort, or work-venue constraints. Use for requests such as 'what should I eat?', 'help me choose from this menu', 'find food near me', or 'compare these delivery options'.

Query Google Places API (New) via the goplaces CLI for text search, place details, resolve, and reviews. Use for human-friendly place lookup or JSON output for scripts.

Use for Jarvis macOS GUI-control tasks and GUI proof requests. Prefer this over Peekaboo for operating apps: use the installed `openclaw gui-control` CLI backed by OpenComputerUse, with hard stops for auth, payment, final purchase/booking, destructive delete, account/security settings, and software install/update.

Edit, convert, trim, inspect, or prepare audio and video files with FFmpeg/ffprobe. Use when the user asks for audio/video conversion, clipping, compression, normalization, extracting audio, adding/removing streams, subtitles, thumbnails, or voice-note/video cleanup.

Use when a user asks for screen recording, video proof, browser/GUI visual proof, or UI/UX verification that depends on motion, sequence, progress, or feel. Prefer `openclaw screen record` for target-aware recordings of a specific app/window; use full-display recording only with an explicit reason.

Use when Jarvis should offer or run a durable goal for multi-step tasks, follow-ups, waiting, negotiation, completion tracking, or monitor-backed continuation until done.

OpenClaw-specific checklist for Telegram live verification. Use when validating Telegram behavior against a live bot, especially thread/topic behavior, runtime ownership, userbot CLI probes, or model-picker callback flows.

Use when a user asks for screen recording, video proof, browser/GUI visual proof, or UI/UX verification that depends on motion, sequence, progress, or feel.

Use when asked to test or operate macOS apps through Jarvis GUI Control, OpenComputerUse, or the OpenClaw gui-control/gui-benchmark CLI. Proactively use for natural-language GUI tasks and GUI proof requests.

Save or resume a local chat checkpoint. Trigger on "make checkpoint", "checkpoint this chat", "resume from checkpoint", "resume from latest checkpoint", or "resume from last checkpoint". Stores markdown files in the active OpenClaw workspace; no MindMirror or remote service required.

Capture/inspect macOS UI with the Peekaboo CLI. Use for screenshots, video/capture artifacts, diagnostics, explicit Peekaboo requests, or fallback after Jarvis GUI Control is unavailable; do not use as the default for Jarvis GUI-operation proof.

Use for Telegram chats/topics/threads, forum topic creation, handoff prompts, send as me, and Telegram-as-me routing when the user wants an instruction posted into a Telegram chat/topic/thread rather than a status update sent back to them.

Route plain-language requests for Pi, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, or ACP harness work into either OpenClaw ACP runtime sessions or direct acpx-driven sessions ("telephone game" flow). For coding-agent thread requests, read this skill first, then use only `sessions_spawn` for thread creation.

Fetch GitHub issues, spawn sub-agents to implement fixes and open PRs, then monitor and address PR review comments. Usage: /gh-issues [owner/repo] [--label bug] [--limit 5] [--milestone v1.0] [--assignee @me] [--fork user/repo] [--watch] [--interval 5] [--reviews-only] [--cron] [--dry-run] [--model glm-5] [--notify-channel -1002381931352]

Generate or edit images via Gemini 3 Pro Image (Nano Banana Pro).

Transcribe audio via OpenAI Audio Transcriptions API (Whisper).

Search and analyze your own session logs (older/parent conversations) using jq.

Local text-to-speech via sherpa-onnx (offline, no cloud)

Route creative ElevenLabs work such as voice generation, sound effects, music, dubbing, voice changing, audio isolation, speech-to-text, and exploratory ElevenCreative image/video tasks.

Use the mcporter CLI to list, configure, auth, and call MCP servers/tools directly (HTTP or stdio), including ad-hoc servers, config edits, and CLI/type generation.

Edit PDFs with natural-language instructions using the nano-pdf CLI.

Answer user-facing capability and intro questions like "what can you do?", "how can you help me?", "what is this bot good at?", or "how should I use you?". Use when the user wants a grounded overview of what this bot can currently do in this runtime. Tailor the answer to the user, explain the relevant skills currently available, give concrete examples, and clearly separate ready-now abilities from anything that still needs setup.

Adopt Codex-created OpenClaw chat worktrees into the repo-standard warm or clean lane contract. Use when a Codex thread was created with Codex's built-in worktree option, when the current OpenClaw worktree is detached, cold, missing node_modules, missing .dev-launch.env, failing worktree-ready-check, failing pnpm exec vitest --version, or needs local dependencies before builds, tests, packaging, macOS app packaging, release prep, Telegram live E2E, or runtime validation.

Use when designing, reviewing, or editing Jarvis consumer onboarding UI/copy, especially macOS setup pages, Telegram onboarding, Chrome account selection, permissions language, and recovery/error copy.

Use when the user naturally says their location or timezone should change, for example "I'm in Tokyo", "my timezone is Singapore", "set my timezone to Asia/Singapore", or "use local timezone". Confirm before writing agents.defaults.userTimezone via gateway config.patch/config tools, never memory.

Route OpenClaw/Jarvis monitor status questions and natural-language follow-ups. Use when a user asks about active monitors, replies to a monitor update, or wants to send, edit, stop, approve, list, or inspect a watched task; resolve one clear monitor or ask a short clarification.

Create, edit, improve, or audit AgentSkills. Use when creating a new skill from scratch or when asked to improve, review, audit, tidy up, or clean up an existing skill or SKILL.md file. Also use when editing or restructuring a skill directory (moving files to references/ or scripts/, removing stale content, validating against the AgentSkills spec). Triggers on phrases like "create a skill", "author a skill", "tidy up a skill", "improve this skill", "review the skill", "clean up the skill", "audit the skill".

Summarize or extract text/transcripts from URLs, podcasts, and local files (great fallback for “transcribe this YouTube/video”).

Manage Apple Notes via the `memo` CLI on macOS (create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes). Use when a user asks OpenClaw to add a note, list notes, search notes, or manage note folders.

Manage Apple Reminders via remindctl CLI (list, add, edit, complete, delete). Supports lists, date filters, and JSON/plain output.
