Reminder (secretary)

A lightweight personal secretary for OpenClaw: - Tell it events in natural language (Chinese/English). - It extracts structured info and stores it in your workspace (so Git/claw-roam can sync across devices). - It schedules Telegram reminders using OpenClaw cron.

What it does

Capture events from chat (meetings / birthdays / deadlines)
Store events in a workspace data file (easy to back up & sync via Git/claw-roam)
Schedule Telegram reminders using OpenClaw cron
Answer queries like “我最近有什么安排/计划？”

Data (separated from skill)

This skill contains no personal event data.

User data lives in the workspace at: - Events file: ~/.openclaw/workspace/reminders/events.yml

Template (shipped with the skill): - skills/reminder/assets/events.template.yml

Config (env)

REMINDER_TZ (default: Asia/Shanghai)
REMINDER_OFFSETS_MINUTES (default: 1440,60,10 for 24h/1h/10m)

Capture behavior

When user says something like: - “后天上午10点有个会” - “下个月2号我妈生日” - “周五下午三点交报告”

Do: 1) Parse the event: - title - start datetime (Shanghai) - notes (optional) - reminders offsets (default 24h/1h/10m) - repeat (optional: yearly/monthly/weekly) 2) If key info is ambiguous (e.g. ‘后天’ date, ‘下个月’ which month, lunar birthday conversion, time missing), ask only the minimal clarifying question(s). 3) Write/update the event in reminders/events.yml. 4) Create cron jobs for each reminder time (delivery to current Telegram).

Reply style

After scheduling: reply briefly with the resolved datetime + confirmation.
For cancellations/changes: confirm what was changed and whether cron jobs were removed/replaced.

Queries

If user asks: - “我最近有什么安排？” - “下周有什么？”

Then read reminders/events.yml, compute upcoming items (Shanghai time), and summarize.

Notes / safety

Never commit machine-specific secrets (keep them in LOCAL_CONFIG.md, already gitignored).
For lunar birthdays: store the canonical lunar date + the computed solar date for the target year; ask how to handle leap months when needed.
