What You Need

• macOS + Apple Reminders
• remindctl: brew install steipete/tap/remindctl
• jq: brew install jq
• OpenClaw gateway running
• Cron job (LaunchAgent, 3AM daily)

What It Does

Agent executes natural language commands:

✅ Research (web, books, skills)
✅ File operations (edit ROADMAP, create notes, git commits)
✅ Calendar (create events, recurring schedules)
✅ APIs (GitHub issues, Home Assistant, Jira)
✅ Automation (anything you can describe)

Natural language → Agent figures out HOW → Executes → Reports back with 🤖
