What is Touch the Grass?
Touch the Grass is a specialized tool for Openclaw Skills designed to facilitate personal reconnection and mental well-being for professionals facing high-stress work weeks. It serves as an empathetic intervention for users feeling burnt out or overstimulated, guiding them toward analog, low-dopamine activities that restore mental clarity.
By integrating directly with your digital life, the skill helps bridge the gap between intense screen time and necessary physical rest. It acts as a supportive companion that recognizes signs of exhaustion and proactively suggests timed activities to help you unplug and recharge effectively.
Touch the Grass Use Cases
- When a user expresses feeling burnt out, stressed, or exhausted from long work hours.
- Daily proactive reminders via heartbeat to ensure the user takes scheduled breaks.
- Tracking and verifying offline activities like walking, reading, or social interaction.
- Gamifying the recovery process through a scoring system and daily streaks.
How Touch the Grass Works
- The skill activates when it detects keywords like burnout or stress, or through a scheduled daily heartbeat.
- It performs a mood check-in (1-5 scale) to assess the user's current mental state.
- Based on the time of day, it suggests three specific activities from a curated catalog (activities.json).
- Selected activities are automatically synchronized to Google Calendar with reminders and descriptions.
- Upon completion, the user verifies the activity via text, photo analysis, or social sharing to earn points.
- The agent updates the internal memory to track scores, streaks, and mood improvements over time.
Touch the Grass Setup
To install and configure the skill with Openclaw Skills, you can set up a dedicated daily reminder using the CLI:
openclaw cron add \
--name "touch-the-grass-daily" \
--cron "0 9 * * *" \
--tz "America/Mexico_City" \
--session isolated \
--message "Heartbeat Touch the Grass: review planned activities and encourage reconnection." \
--announce
Alternatively, you can add a manual entry to your ~/.openclaw/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md file to trigger checks during your daily agent interactions.
