ClawFlows: 101 Prebuilt OpenClaw Workflows You Can Enable in One Click

By Prahlad Menon 4 min read

One of the persistent friction points with AI agents is the setup tax. You know your agent could handle your morning briefing, triage your inbox, or put your house to sleep at 10pm — but writing and debugging the instructions, getting the scheduling right, and making it actually reliable takes time you don’t have.

ClawFlows (github.com/nikilster/clawflows) is the community’s answer to that: 101 prebuilt, plain-text OpenClaw workflows you install in one command and enable individually.

Install in 60 Seconds

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nikilster/clawflows/main/system/install.sh | bash

Then send your agent one message:

Install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nikilster/clawflows/main/system/AGENT.md

That loads the workflow library. From there you enable individual workflows — the agent handles the scheduling and execution automatically.

What’s in the Library

The 101 workflows span six categories. Here are the most useful ones across each:

Home Automation

WorkflowScheduleWhat it does
🛏️ activate-sleep-mode10pmAll lights off, speakers off, thermostat down, bedroom fan on
🌙 activate-night-mode8pmDims lights to warm red, plays sleep music
🌅 activate-morning-mode9amBright warm lights, comfortable thermostat, energizing music
🧘 activate-focus-mode10amBright daylight lights, mutes speakers, blocks distracting sites
🚪 activate-away-modeOn-demandEverything off, thermostat to eco

These require your smart home tools to be configured (Philips Hue, Nest/Ecobee, Sonos, etc.) but the workflow logic itself is handled.

Daily Briefings

WorkflowScheduleWhat it does
☀️ send-morning-briefing7amWeather, calendar, priorities, urgent items
📅 check-calendar8am, 6pm48-hour radar with conflict detection and travel time
🎯 prep-for-my-meetingEvery 30 minAttendees researched, history pulled, talking points written
🛏️ prep-tomorrow9pmReviews tomorrow’s calendar, suggests what to prep
😴 send-bedtime-reminder10pmTomorrow preview, sleep math, wind-down suggestions

The meeting prep workflow is the standout here — running every 30 minutes means it checks if a meeting is coming up, researches attendees and past context, and has a briefing ready before you need to dial in.

Email and Work

WorkflowScheduleWhat it does
📧 process-my-email9am, 1pm, 5pmJunk unsubscribed, noise archived, important stuff summarized
🔨 build-something-while-i-sleepMidnightPicks an idea, builds overnight, delivers finished project

The overnight build workflow is worth calling out. You define a list of project ideas; the workflow picks one at midnight, builds it while you sleep using your agent’s coding capabilities, and delivers the result in the morning. Works best for small, well-scoped projects — a script, a small web page, a data analysis — but it’s a genuine productivity unlock for anyone with a backlog of “I should build that” ideas.

Health and Wellness

WorkflowScheduleWhat it does
💧 track-water9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pmHydration check-ins throughout the day
💊 check-medications8am, 8pmReminders and refill tracking
🧘 stretch-reminder10am, 2pm, 4pmMovement break reminders during work hours
😴 track-sleep9pmEvening sleep logger with weekly trends
🧠 mental-health-checkin6pmDaily mood and energy check-in
💪 plan-workoutsSunday 7pmWeekly exercise plan tailored to your schedule

Household and Life

WorkflowScheduleWhat it does
🍽️ plan-mealsSunday 6pmWeekly meal plan + grocery list
🌦️ check-weather-alerts7am, 3pmWeather alerts tied to your calendar
🎂 send-birthday-reminders8amUpcoming birthdays with gift ideas, 3 days early
🧹 schedule-choresSaturday 9amWeekly chore rotation
🚗 check-car-maintenance1st of monthOil changes, tire rotations, registration, insurance
🏠 check-home-maintenance1st of monthFilters, batteries, gutters, seasonal tasks

Journaling and Reflection

📝 morning-journal7:30amGuided journaling with reflection questions and mood tracking
🙏 write-gratitude-journal9pm3 good things, what you learned, who you appreciate
📊 track-habits9pmDaily habit log with weekly scorecard and streaks

Why Plain Text Matters

The design decision that makes ClawFlows actually usable is that workflows are plain text files. No YAML schemas, no drag-and-drop interfaces, no DSL to learn.

A workflow looks roughly like:

Workflow: send-morning-briefing
Schedule: 7am daily

Check my calendar for today and tomorrow. Check the weather for my location.
Identify any urgent items from my last email check. Summarize my top 3 priorities.
Send me a morning briefing with all of this as a single message.

That’s it. Easy to read, easy to modify, easy to share. You can diff them in git, roll back to a previous version, fork and customize for your own setup.

This is a meaningful contrast to platforms like n8n or Dify where workflows are graph objects — powerful but opaque. We’ve covered those tools before, and they’re great for complex multi-system integrations. ClawFlows is for the other end of the spectrum: personal automations where you want to just read what your agent is going to do.

How It Fits With Skills and MCP

ClawFlows workflows are behaviors — scheduled instructions. OpenClaw Skills are capabilities — tools the agent can use. MCP is a protocol for connecting to external tools.

They stack: a ClawFlows workflow might say “send me a morning briefing” — and the agent uses a weather Skill, a calendar MCP connection, and an email tool to execute it. The workflow is the what-and-when; the skills and tools are the how.

The awesome-openclaw-skills library has the capability side covered. ClawFlows covers the behavior side. Between the two, you can get a pretty complete personal automation stack without writing much from scratch.

Contributing

The library is open — fork the repo, write your workflow as a plain text file, submit a PR. The project is growing fast and the community is active. If you’ve built a workflow that works well for your setup, it’s worth sharing.
