What is Planner?
Planner is a robust, local-first engine built for Openclaw Skills that prioritizes clarity over overhead. It serves as a specialized system for managing structured decision-making, project rollouts, and time-bound itineraries without relying on external cloud services. By focusing on constraints first, Planner helps developers and power users map out dependencies and milestones before execution begins.
This skill is ideal for those who value privacy and speed, as all data remains strictly on your local machine. Whether you are mapping out a complex software launch or a simple weekly schedule, Planner provides a standardized framework to reduce uncertainty and maintain a clear focus on immediate next steps.
Planner Use Cases
- Creating multi-phase project roadmaps with concrete milestones.
- Organizing travel itineraries including booking sequences and budget constraints.
- Structuring weekly focus themes and time-blocked priorities.
- Comparing options for complex decisions based on trade-offs and dependencies.
- Managing product launch rollouts and preparation checklists.
How Planner Works
- Constraint Mapping: The process begins by capturing the primary goal along with fixed constraints such as budget, deadlines, and energy levels.
- Phase Structuring: The engine breaks down the large goal into manageable high-level phases and concrete checkpoints (milestones).
- Local Storage: Data is serialized and stored in local JSON files within the Openclaw workspace memory.
- Dynamic Updating: As tasks are completed or priorities shift, scripts modify the plan status and immediate next steps.
- Review Cycles: Daily and weekly views aggregate active plans to provide a high-level map of all ongoing horizons.
Planner Setup
To get started with this component of Openclaw Skills, ensure you have Python 3 installed. Run the initialization script to set up your local storage paths:
# Initialize local storage directories and files
python3 init_storage.py
No external packages or API keys are required, as the skill operates entirely within your local environment.
Planner Data Schema & Taxonomy
All planning data is organized into structured JSON files located at ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/planner/.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
goal |
The primary objective or desired outcome. |
constraints |
Budget, time, and dependency limitations. |
phases |
High-level chronological stages of the plan. |
milestones |
Specific, measurable checkpoints. |
next_steps |
Granular, immediate actions to be taken. |
notes |
