executive-assistant-skills

OpenClaw skills that replace a human executive assistant.

After setting up these skills with OpenClaw, I let go of my human EA and replaced her entirely with my Claw. These five skills handle the core of what an executive assistant does: prepping for meetings, following up on action items, drafting emails, and keeping you on top of everything.

What's included

Skill	What it replaces
meeting-prep	EA researching attendees, pulling email history, and briefing you before each call
action-items-todoist	EA reviewing meeting notes, creating follow-up tasks, and drafting emails you promised to send
email-drafting	EA drafting replies, intro emails, scheduling responses, and thank-you notes in your voice
executive-digest	EA giving you a morning status update: stalled threads, pending intros, overdue tasks, calendar conflicts
todoist-due-drafts	EA checking your task list each morning, drafting follow-up/ping emails for anything due today, and notifying you to review
humanizer	Making sure nothing your Claw writes sounds like AI wrote it (originally by biostartechnology)

How it works

Each skill is a markdown file (SKILL.md) that tells your Claw exactly how to do the job. Your Claw reads the skill, follows the instructions, and delivers results to WhatsApp (or Slack, Telegram, etc.).

Skills run on cron schedules — meeting prep fires before your first meeting, action items run after your last meeting, and the digest hits every morning. You can also trigger any skill manually by asking your Claw.

All personal config (email accounts, timezone, work schedule, etc.) lives in a single config/user.json that's gitignored and never committed.

Prerequisites

• OpenClaw running (local or server)
• Two Gmail accounts connected via gog CLI
• Granola or Grain for meeting transcripts (via mcporter MCP)
• Todoist CLI for task management
• A style/ directory in your OpenClaw workspace with email style guides (see docs/setup.md)

Quick setup

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/mgonto/executive-assistant-skills.git ~/executive-assistant-skills

2. Create your config

cp ~/executive-assistant-skills/config/user.example.json ~/executive-assistant-skills/config/user.json
# Edit user.json with your values — it's gitignored

3. Tell OpenClaw to load these skills

Edit ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "skills": {
    "load": {
      "extraDirs": ["~/executive-assistant-skills"]
    }
  }
}

4. Restart

openclaw gateway restart

5. Set up crons

See docs/crons.md for ready-to-paste cron job configs.

• docs/crons.md — cron job templates for all skills

Repository conventions

• config/user.json is gitignored — each person creates their own
• config/user.example.json is the committed template
• state/ and logs/ are gitignored (machine-local)
• Skills reference workspace files (style/, state/, scripts/) via {user.workspace}/ prefix for portability
