Based on SOC occupation classification
Connect AssistClaw to a Bee wearable via BeeMCP (MCP server) without using bee CLI/proxy. Use when: BeeMCP is already installed or user wants Bee tools exposed through MCP lazy-loading.
Query and control a Bee wearable (bee.computer) — conversations, facts, todos, journals, daily briefs, and real-time event streams. Use when: user references their Bee device, asks what they just talked about, wants a daily brief, manages facts/todos captured by Bee, or searches their personal lifelog. NOT for: generic calendar/reminder apps, historical data older than the Bee account, or non-Bee wearables.
Set up and use 1Password CLI (op). Use when installing the CLI, enabling desktop app integration, signing in (single or multi-account), or reading/injecting/running secrets via op.
Manage Apple Notes via the `memo` CLI on macOS (create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes). Use when a user asks AssistClaw 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.
Create, search, and manage Bear notes via grizzly CLI.
