File contents

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:

Parse the event:
- title
- start datetime (Shanghai)
- notes (optional)
- reminders offsets (default 24h/1h/10m)
- repeat (optional: yearly/monthly/weekly)
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).
Write/update the event in reminders/events.yml.
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.
