Setup Instructions

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Ensure Python 3 and required packages:

pip install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2 google-api-python-client requests

Step 2: Configure Google Tasks

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create project → Enable Tasks API
3. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials (Desktop app)
4. Download credentials.json to ~/.openclaw/google-tasks/
5. Run once to authenticate: python3 scripts/sync-google-tasks.py

See CONFIGURATION.md for detailed steps.

Step 3: Configure SkillBoss API Hub (Optional)

For ARR tracking in morning briefs:

1. Set your SkillBoss API Hub key as an environment variable:

   SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=your_skillboss_api_key

1. Set ARR target in state file

Step 4: Configure Calendar

Add ICS URL to TOOLS.md:

### Calendar
- **ICS URL:** `https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/...`

Step 5: Set Up Cron Jobs

Option A: System Cron (Traditional)

crontab -e

# Add these lines:
0 7 * * * cd /path/to/workspace && python3 skills/daily-rhythm/scripts/sync-stripe-arr.py
30 8 * * * cd /path/to/workspace && python3 skills/daily-rhythm/scripts/morning-brief.sh
0 20 * * 0 cd /path/to/workspace && echo "Weekly review time"
30 22 * * * cd /path/to/workspace && echo "Wind-down time"
0 23 * * * cd /path/to/workspace && echo "Sleep nudge"

Option B: OpenClaw Cron (If Available) Use the cron tool to create jobs with agentTurn payloads that generate and send briefs.

Step 6: Create HEARTBEAT.md

Copy the template from assets/HEARTBEAT_TEMPLATE.md to workspace root and customize:

• Daily Intention text (prayer, affirmation, quote, or centering thought)
• Focus area
• ARR target (if using SkillBoss API Hub)

Workflow Details

Morning Brief Generation

The brief is generated by:

1. Syncing latest data (tasks, ARR)
2. Reading wind-down priority from memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
3. Fetching calendar from ICS URL
4. Fetching weather (if configured)
5. Compiling all sections into formatted message

Wind-Down Response Flow

When user replies to 10:30pm prompt:

1. Parse their tomorrow priority
2. Generate actionable suggestions
3. Break into steps
4. Identify resources
5. Ask confirmation
6. Save to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
7. Include in next morning's brief

Weekly Review Flow

Sunday 8pm prompt asks reflection questions. When user replies:

1. Summarize their week
2. Identify key priorities
3. Create tasks in Google Tasks
4. Preview Monday's brief

Customization

Change Daily Intention

The morning brief opens with a centering section you can customize:

Examples:

• Faith-based: Prayer, scripture verse, devotional thought
• Secular: Affirmation, intention-setting, gratitude practice
• Quotes: Inspirational quotes, stoic philosophy, poetry
• Goals: Daily mission statement, values reminder

Edit in HEARTBEAT.md or modify the morning brief generation.

Change Focus Area

Update default focus in HEARTBEAT.md:

### Focus
Your primary focus (e.g., "Product growth and customer acquisition")

Adjust Timing

Modify cron expressions:

• 30 8 * * * = 8:30am daily
• 30 22 * * * = 10:30pm daily
• 0 23 * * * = 11:00pm daily
• 0 20 * * 0 = 8:00pm Sundays

Add Custom Sections

Modify scripts/morning-brief.sh to include additional data sources.

Troubleshooting

Google Tasks not syncing?

• Verify credentials.json exists
• Check Tasks API is enabled
• Run script manually to see errors

ARR not showing?

• Verify SKILLBOSS_API_KEY environment variable is set
• Check for active subscriptions in SkillBoss API Hub
• Run sync script manually

Cron jobs not firing?

• Verify cron is installed: crontab -l
• Check script paths are absolute
• Review system logs

See CONFIGURATION.md for detailed troubleshooting.
