Usage Guidance
This skill appears to implement an event-finder and local deduplication, but review these before installing: (1) The shipped scripts target Ukraine specifically — if you expect worldwide searches, update the scripts or prompts accordingly. (2) The scripts call the 'openclaw' CLI and will create/modify memory/it-events-sent.json in your OpenClaw workspace (or $HOME/.openclaw/workspace) and may register a recurring cron job via OpenClaw; ensure you want that behavior and that the openclaw binary is trustworthy. (3) Confirm file permissions for the memory file and that the OpenClaw agent's permissions are appropriate, since the agent will be asked to update local state. If any of these mismatch your expectations, either edit the scripts or do not install/enable the cron job.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The SKILL.md describes a general worldwide IT-events finder, but both provided scripts (setup-cron.sh and search-events.sh) build prompts that explicitly target Ukraine. The scripts also call the 'openclaw' CLI, yet the skill metadata declares no required binaries. The Ukraine-only behavior and the missing declared dependency are mismatches with the stated 'worldwide' purpose and metadata.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md gives detailed, bounded runtime instructions (searching, deduplication, state file format, output format). The scripts follow those rules and implement state-file creation and agent invocation. The scripts do instruct the agent to update a local memory file (memory/it-events-sent.json), which is expected for deduplication but is an action that will write to the user's workspace.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only), so nothing is downloaded or installed automatically. The included scripts are simple shell helpers and do not fetch external code or run arbitrary downloads.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, which aligns with SKILL.md, but the scripts implicitly require the 'openclaw' executable and optionally use OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE or HOME for where to write memory files. The implicit dependency on the openclaw CLI was not declared in the registry metadata.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (no forced always-on). The setup script will add a recurring OpenClaw cron job (openclaw cron add) which grants the skill persistent scheduled runs inside OpenClaw. This is expected for a digest/cron use case but means the agent will be scheduled to run autonomously according to that job.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install searchitevents - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/searchitevents - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.2
- Changed the state and deduplication file from memory/ua-it-events-sent.json to memory/it-events-sent.json; all storage and examples now refer to the new file.
- Updated examples in the output format and stored format sections to use varied country and city locations instead of Ukrainian-centric ones.
- Improved geographic rules and event examples to be international rather than Ukraine-focused.
- Clarified that the skill finds events globally, not just in Ukraine.
- Updated minor instructions and examples for neutrality and clarity.
v1.0.1
- Updated the deduplication state file and storage paths from ua-it-events-sent.json to it-events-sent.json.
- Adjusted sample event locations in documentation examples (e.g., Kyiv → Berlin, Kraków, USA).
- No logic or behavioral changes; documentation and data format clarifications only.
- All search and output processes remain unchanged.
v1.0.0
Initial release of the IT Events skill.
- Finds upcoming IT events based on user-selected interests and location (country or worldwide).
- Supports conferences, meetups, workshops, hackathons, webinars, and more.
- Avoids duplicates using a state file; only sends new, relevant events each time.
- Delivers official event and registration/payment links when available.
- Works for regular digests, one-time searches, and follow-up requests for registration/payment links.
- Filters out non-IT or weakly relevant events, and ensures only future events are shown.
