Medication Channel

Use the deterministic medication logging path whenever source message metadata is available.

Configuration

Set the following environment variables or replace placeholders before use:

• MEDICATION_TIMEZONE — IANA timezone string for local time display (e.g. America/Los_Angeles, Europe/Berlin)
• WORKSPACE — root directory for data files (defaults to ~/.openclaw/workspace)

Medication names and schedules are configured at the top of scripts/tracker_v2.py — edit the MORNING_MEDS, EVENING_MEDS, and KNOWN_MEDS lists to match your regimen.

Core Rules

• Treat the configured channel as the dedicated medication channel.
• Prefer the log_from_discord.sh wrapper or tracker_v2.py log-from-message.
• Never use now as a logged/displayed time.
• Never derive event time from the model turn time.
• Use the source Discord message timestamp unless the user explicitly gives a different time.
• Convert displayed times to the configured timezone.
• Never log reminder chatter as medication history.
• Never treat an assistant reminder message, assistant follow-up, assistant summary, or assistant self-referential chatter as a medication event.
• Never emit a confirmation like "taken", "logged", or "recorded" in response to an assistant-generated reminder unless a real user medication report was just logged through the script path.
• Never claim something was logged unless the script path actually ran.
• Prefer raw-message passthrough to the tracker instead of model-side parsing.

Preferred Workflow

Log a medication message from Discord

Use when the user reports:

• taken / took
• done / completed
• missed / skipped
• extra dose
• clear natural-language medication intake

Preferred path:

scripts/log_from_discord.sh \
  "$MESSAGE_TEXT" \
  "$CHANNEL_ID" \
  "$MESSAGE_ID" \
  "$AUTHOR_ID" \
  "$TIMESTAMP_UTC"

Equivalent direct call:

python3 scripts/tracker_v2.py log-from-message \
  "$MESSAGE_TEXT" \
  "$CHANNEL_ID" \
  "$MESSAGE_ID" \
  "$AUTHOR_ID" \
  "$TIMESTAMP_UTC"

Then use the returned row or format-confirmation output for the confirmation.

Parse only

Use only when inspecting behavior or debugging.

python3 scripts/tracker_v2.py parse "$MESSAGE_TEXT" "$TIMESTAMP_UTC"

Format a confirmation

Use when you already have the JSON row and want the standard confirmation string.

python3 scripts/tracker_v2.py format-confirmation '<json-row>'

Special Guardrail: Reminder Messages

If the message being handled is itself a reminder, or the user is replying to/quoting a reminder message, do not assume medication was taken.

Examples that are not medication events by themselves:

• an assistant message like Reminder: it's time to take your evening medication.
• an assistant message like Evening medication taken (recorded at ...)
• a user message like something went wrong again
• a user reply that is discussing a reminder failure rather than reporting intake

In these cases:

• do not call the tracker unless the user message itself contains an actual medication event
• do not fabricate a confirmation
• debug/explain briefly instead

What the Tracker Already Handles

The tracker is preferred because it already handles:

• common natural-language medication phrases
• normalization of common misspellings / aliases
• morning/evening inference
• dedupe by source Discord message id
• local timezone display formatting
• structured logging

So do not manually re-implement those steps unless debugging the tracker itself.

If Uncertain

Ask a short clarifying question only when needed, such as:

• whether the message is a real medication event vs general discussion
• whether the user is saying they skipped something or are uncertain
• whether a custom explicit time should override the source timestamp

Data Access

This skill reads and writes persistent files in the workspace:

• Writes $WORKSPACE/data/medication_log_v2.csv — one row per medication event (med name, status, timestamps, source message ID)
• Writes deduplication state keyed by source message ID
• Reads medication config from MORNING_MEDS/EVENING_MEDS/KNOWN_MEDS lists at top of scripts/tracker_v2.py
• No network calls — fully local, stdlib-only Python
• No external APIs — no vision, no remote services

• scripts/log_from_discord.sh — Discord wrapper script
