What is COMMS.md Creator?

The COMMS.md Creator is a specialized tool designed to help individuals articulate their unique communication preferences in a machine-readable format. As part of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, this skill facilitates the creation of a COMMS.md file, which serves as a personal user manual for interactions. It captures everything from your natural conversational tone and preferred messaging channels to your specific availability rhythms and deep-work boundaries.

By establishing a standardized protocol, you ensure that colleagues, collaborators, and even autonomous agents know exactly how and when to reach you. This reduces cognitive load for the sender and minimizes interruptions for the receiver, making it a cornerstone for efficient digital collaboration within the Openclaw Skills framework.

COMMS.md Creator Use Cases

  • Creating a professional onboarding document for new team members to understand your workflow.
  • Providing a reference for AI agents to calibrate their tone when drafting messages on your behalf.
  • Setting clear boundaries for focus time and channel usage to prevent notification fatigue.
  • Standardizing outreach protocols for networking and external partnership management.

How COMMS.md Creator Works

  1. Orientation: The agent introduces the concept of a COMMS.md and how it benefits your interaction ecosystem.
  2. Guided Interview: The skill conducts a conversational assessment covering style, strengths, collaboration models, and weekly rhythms.
  3. Channel Mapping: You define specific triggers for different platforms, such as Slack for urgent issues and Email for long-form context.
  4. Drafting: Using predefined templates within the Openclaw Skills environment, the agent generates a formatted Markdown file.
  5. Review & Iteration: You refine the draft to ensure the voice and anti-patterns accurately reflect your personality.
  6. Deployment: The final document is saved to your personal website, Obsidian vault, or team repository.

COMMS.md Creator Setup

To activate this skill within your environment, ensure you have the Openclaw Skills CLI installed and run:

openclaw install comms-md

Once installed, you can initiate the process by prompting your agent with "Create a comms.md" or "I want to define my communication preferences."

COMMS.md Creator Data Schema & Taxonomy

The skill generates a Markdown file with a specific taxonomy to ensure compatibility with other Openclaw Skills. The document structure includes:

Section Data Type Description
Style & Strengths Text Introspective analysis of communication habits.
Weekly Rhythm Schedule Time-blocked availability and deep work windows.
Channel Preferences Matrix Logic-based routing for different levels of urgency.
Async Voice Guidelines Stylistic rules including emoji usage and capitalization.

COMMS.md Creator Advanced Features

  • Agent-First Calibration: Specifically optimized the Async Voice section so other Openclaw Skills can accurately mirror your register.
  • Queryable Structure: Uses standardized headers that allow AI agents to quickly extract specific preferences (e.g., 'Is it okay to call now?').
  • Version Control Integration: Supports versioning at the footer of the document to track how your communication needs evolve.
  • Inter-Skill Compatibility: Designed to work natively with the comms-md-reader to bridge communication gaps between different users.
