What is Mediator?
Mediator is a specialized tool designed to act as an emotional firewall for users dealing with difficult relationships or high-conflict communication. By leveraging the power of Openclaw Skills, it intercepts incoming messages from specified contacts across email and iMessage. The skill uses advanced language models to process these messages, removing emotional or manipulative content while preserving the essential facts and requests.
This skill is particularly valuable for maintaining professional boundaries and personal well-being. It ensures that you stay informed about important updates—such as scheduling changes or legal deadlines—without having to experience the psychological stress of reading the raw, emotionally charged original text. Within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, Mediator serves as a vital buffer for both personal and professional interactions.
Mediator Use Cases
- Managing high-conflict co-parenting schedules by extracting only dates and times from emails.
- Filtering aggressive or unprofessional feedback from difficult clients to maintain a productive workflow.
- Shielding yourself from manipulative language in personal relationships while ensuring critical messages aren't missed.
- Automating the drafting of neutral, factual responses to high-stress communications.
How Mediator Works
- The skill monitors incoming communications via Gmail Pub/Sub or iMessage watch triggers.
- It matches the sender's identity against the contact list configured in your Openclaw Skills setup.
- Upon a match, it fetches the message content and passes it to an LLM for factual extraction or neutral rewriting.
- The original message is safely archived (e.g., labeled in Gmail) to keep the primary inbox clean.
- A summarized report and a suggested response draft are sent to your preferred notification channel like Telegram or Slack.
Mediator Setup
To get started with this component of Openclaw Skills, initialize the configuration and add your first contact:

~/clawd/skills/mediator/scripts/mediator.sh add "Contact Name" --email "[email protected]" --channels email
# Run a manual check for new messages
