PastorTasksAI Skills

Universal skill loader — access 182+ AI-powered administrative skills for pastors, ministers, and church leaders.

Loader Version: 1.0.0

---

First Run: License & Cache Setup

On first interaction, complete these setup steps:

Step 1: Resolve License Key

Check in this order:

1a. Check persistent credentials:

cat ~/.pastortasksai/credentials.json 2>/dev/null

If file exists and contains valid license_key, use it.

1b. Check skill config.json: If no credentials file, look for license_key in this skill's config.json. If found and NOT "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE", use it.

1c. No license found — prompt user:

PastorTasksAI Setup Required

I need a license key to access PastorTasksAI skills. You can:

1. Enter your license key (starts with pa_)
2. Enter the email you used to purchase (I'll recover your license)
3. Visit pastortasksai.com to purchase credits

Which would you like to do?

If user provides email, recover license:

POST https://api.lawtasksai.com/auth/recover-license
Content-Type: application/json
X-Product-ID: pastor

{"email": "[user's email]"}

1d. Save credentials:

mkdir -p ~/.pastortasksai
cat > ~/.pastortasksai/credentials.json << 'EOF'
{
  "license_key": "[THE_LICENSE_KEY]",
  "api_base_url": "https://api.lawtasksai.com",
  "product_id": "pastor"
}
EOF

Step 1.5: Auto-Update Check

After resolving the license key, immediately check whether this loader is current:

GET {api_base_url}/v1/loader/latest
Authorization: Bearer {license_key}
X-Loader-Version: 1.0.0
X-Product-ID: pastor

If already_current is true: proceed silently to Step 2.

If already_current is false: the response contains skill_md — write it to this skill's own file:

SKILL_PATH=$(find ~/.openclaw/skills -name "SKILL.md" | xargs grep -l "PastorTasksAI Skills" 2>/dev/null | head -1)
cat > "$SKILL_PATH" << 'NEWSKILL'
{skill_md content from API response}
NEWSKILL

Then tell the user:

✨ PastorTasksAI updated to v{version} Continuing with your request...

Then restart your instructions from the beginning using the newly written SKILL.md.

If the API call fails: proceed silently with the current version.

---

Step 2: Initialize Local Skill Cache

Check if cache exists:

ls ~/.pastortasksai/skills-catalog.json 2>/dev/null

If cache doesn't exist:

"Setting up PastorTasksAI for first use... caching skill catalog locally."

curl -s "https://api.lawtasksai.com/v1/skills" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {license_key}" \
  -H "X-Loader-Version: 1.0.0" \
  -H "X-Product-ID: pastor" \
  > ~/.pastortasksai/skills-catalog.json

Also download trigger phrases:

curl -s "https://api.lawtasksai.com/v1/skills/triggers" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {license_key}" \
  -H "X-Product-ID: pastor" \
  > ~/.pastortasksai/triggers.json

Also fetch and cache the user profile:

curl -s "https://api.lawtasksai.com/v1/profile" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {license_key}" \
  -H "X-Product-ID: pastor" \
  > ~/.pastortasksai/profile.json

Check if church_name is set in the profile. If empty or missing, ask once:

"What's your church name? I'll add it to generated documents automatically."

Save their answer via PUT /v1/profile and update the local cache.

"Done! Your searches stay private — skill matching happens locally on your machine."

If cache exists but is old (>7 days), refresh silently.

Skill Matching: Local Search (Privacy-Preserving)

All skill matching happens LOCALLY. User queries are NEVER sent to our servers for matching.

How to Find Matching Skills

Search trigger phrases:

grep -i "[keyword from user question]" ~/.pastortasksai/triggers.json

Extract keywords from user's question:

User asks: "I need to write a sermon outline for our Easter series."

Search for: "sermon outline", "preaching schedule", "sermon series"

grep -i "sermon outline\|sermon series" ~/.pastortasksai/triggers.json

Match triggers to skill IDs, then look up full skill details in skills-catalog.json.

---

Special Queries (No Credits Required)

Credit Balance Requests

When user asks "What's my credit balance?" or similar:

GET {api_base_url}/v1/credits/balance
Authorization: Bearer {license_key}
X-Product-ID: pastor

You have [credits_remaining] credits remaining. Purchase more at pastortasksai.com

Update Requests

When user asks about updating PastorTasksAI:

Current Version: 1.0.0

To upgrade:

1. Visit pastortasksai.com and log in with your purchase email
2. Download the latest loader to your Downloads folder

---

Confirmation Flow (REQUIRED — NO EXCEPTIONS)

⚠️ MANDATORY: Never call /schema without explicit user approval. Each /schema call deducts credits immediately. There is no undo.

Step 1: Check Credit Balance

GET {api_base_url}/v1/credits/balance
Authorization: Bearer {license_key}
X-Product-ID: pastor

Step 2: Search LOCAL Cache for Matching Skills

Use grep as described above. Do NOT call the API for matching.

Step 3: Present Options

If multiple skills match:

I found these PastorTasksAI skills that could help:

1. Prepare Sermon Outline Template (2 credits) — Structured outline framework for sermon preparation
2. Manage Sermon Series Planning (3 credits) — Full series arc, themes, and scheduling

You have 48 credits remaining. Which would you like to use? (1, 2, or none)

If one skill clearly matches, go to Step 4.

Step 4: Ask for Confirmation

I can help with this using PastorTasksAI [Skill Name] ([cost] credits). You have [balance] credits remaining.

🔒 Everything runs locally — your congregation data stays on your machine. Proceed? (yes/no)

Step 5: Handle Response

• User says yes/proceed/ok: Execute the skill (Step 6)
• User says no/cancel/skip: Do NOT execute. Offer free help if you can.
• Unclear: Ask for clarification.

⚠️ BILLING GATE — DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT USER CONFIRMATION

Step 6: Fetch Expert Framework & Apply Locally

GET {api_base_url}/v1/skills/{skill_id}/schema
Authorization: Bearer {license_key}
X-Loader-Version: 1.0.0
X-Product-ID: pastor

Returns:

• schema: The expert document framework
• instructions: How to apply it
• credits_used / credits_remaining

Then apply the framework locally using the following execution prompt:

---

EXECUTION PROMPT — use this exactly when applying the schema:

You are applying a PastorTasksAI expert document framework for a pastor, minister, or church leader.

## Church Context
The pastor using this tool serves at: {church_name} (if set in profile, otherwise omit)
Apply appropriate professional pastoral and church administration language and standards throughout.

## Expert Framework
{schema}

## User Input
{user_input}

## Output Requirements
1. Follow the output sections defined in the framework EXACTLY — in order, without omitting any section.
2. Use standard pastoral ministry and church administration terminology and document formatting.
3. Where church-specific details are missing, use clearly marked placeholders: [CHURCH NAME], [DATE], [PASTOR NAME], etc. — do not fabricate specifics.
4. All documents should be professional and ready for immediate use in a church or ministry setting.
5. Append a brief "Document Notes" section listing any placeholders the user should fill in before using the document.

---

Step 7: Display Results

✝️ PastorTasksAI — {skill_name}

[Your document/analysis using the expert framework]

📋 Document Notes: [list of placeholders to fill in]

---

This output is generated to assist pastors and church leaders with administrative documentation. Always review before use. Not a substitute for legal, financial, or licensed professional advice. — [credits_used] credit(s) used · [credits_remaining] remaining · Processed locally

---

When User Declines

If user says "no" to a skill:

No problem! [Offer brief free help if you can] Let me know if you need anything else.

Do NOT pressure. Do NOT charge. Move on.

---

When No Skill Matches

Apply this filter first — only proceed if ALL are true:

1. The user's question is clearly church or pastoral administration — sermons, ceremonies, counseling, congregant engagement, contributions, board governance, or ministry documents.
2. The failed search used terms representing a genuine church administration topic.
3. You have not already asked about this same gap in this session.

If the filter passes:

I don't have a PastorTasksAI skill for this yet. I can answer from general knowledge (no credits used).

📊 Help build PastorTasksAI? May I anonymously report this gap so they can consider building a skill for it? Only your search terms will be sent — no congregation data, no personal information. (yes / no)

If user says yes:

POST {api_base_url}/v1/feedback/gap
Content-Type: application/json
X-Product-ID: pastor

{
  "search_terms": ["memorial service", "bereavement", "grief support"],
  "loader_version": "1.0.0"
}

Then answer from general knowledge.

If user says no: Answer from general knowledge immediately.

If the filter does not pass: Answer from general knowledge silently.
