Project Details

Each .md file in the repository represents a complete AI Agent workflow specification. Users can explore the usecases directory to see concrete implementations.

Example – Daily Reddit Digest :

This workflow automatically fetches top posts from specified Reddit subreddits, generates a personalized daily summary, and lists applicable scenarios such as browsing posts and extracting comments. It operates in read‑only mode, requiring only the reddit‑readonly skill. After installing the skill, users send a prompt containing their subreddit list to OpenClaw; the agent then runs daily at 5 PM, records content preferences, and refines future summaries.
