What is Timeline Skill?
The Timeline skill is a specialized tool within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem designed to capture dated events, facts, and milestones that don't belong on a traditional calendar. It provides a lightweight, highly searchable record for personal knowledge management, allowing users to document medical history, family achievements, or significant life moments.
Unlike a scheduling tool, this skill focuses on retrospective logging and future recall. It allows you to transform raw observations into a structured, queryable archive, ensuring that important life details are preserved for whenever you need to reference them later.
Timeline Skill Use Cases
- Recording medical events like the onset of symptoms or starting a new medication.
- Logging family milestones such as a child's first bike ride or educational achievements.
- Tracking professional milestones and project history without cluttering task lists.
- Recalling specific dates for past events through natural language search queries.
How Timeline Skill Works
- The user provides a command or natural language trigger like "log that" or "save to timeline."
- The skill parses the input for the event description, an optional specific date, and relevant tags.
- The entry is formatted with a precise timestamp and appended to the local Timeline.md file.
- Users can retrieve historical data by running search commands filtered by keywords, tags, or date ranges.
Timeline Skill Setup
To integrate this into your environment, follow these steps:
# Ensure your vault path is configured in your environment variables
# Install the timeline script to your local path
cp scripts/timeline.sh /usr/local/bin/timeline
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/timeline
Ensure you have dependencies like ripgrep or grep installed for the search functionality to work effectively within Openclaw Skills.
Timeline Skill Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes information in a Markdown-based vault file named Timeline.md. Data is structured chronologically for easy human and machine readability:
| Element | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Date Header | ## YYYY-MM-DD |
Groups all entries for a specific day |
| Timestamp | **HH:MM** |
Indicates the exact time of the log |
| Description | Text | The primary factual content of the event |
| Tags | #tag |
Metadata labels used for filtering and organization |
Timeline Skill Advanced Features
- Automatic indexing via QMD to make your entire timeline searchable alongside your notes.
- Integration with morning briefings to surface relevant entries from previous years or recent days.
- Cross-linking support to connect specific medical events directly to related folders.
- Daily prompts via Heartbeat to ensure consistent logging of important events.
