Workflow

Step 1: Collect Work Data

Gather information from multiple sources:

1. Session Transcripts — Check ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/ for recent session files
2. Memory Files — Read memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md files for daily logs
3. MEMORY.md — Check long-term memory for significant events
4. Git Activity — Run git log across projects for commit history
5. Docker Containers — Check container uptime and health status
6. Cron Jobs — Review scheduled task execution history
7. File Changes — Check recent file modifications in workspace

Step 2: Analyze & Categorize

Organize findings into these categories:

• 🔧 Tasks Completed — Finished work items, resolved issues
• 🚀 Projects Progress — Ongoing project status, milestones reached
• 🐛 Bugs Fixed — Issues resolved, errors handled
• 📚 Learnings — New knowledge gained, skills improved
• ⚠️ Challenges — Obstacles encountered, solutions attempted
• 💡 Ideas — New ideas generated, improvements suggested
• 📊 Metrics — Quantifiable results (e.g., commits, messages processed)

Also update MEMORY.md with key highlights if significant events occurred.

Step 5: Export Reports

HTML Export

Generate a professional HTML report with:

\x3C!DOCTYPE html>
\x3Chtml lang="en">

        .metric .number { font-size: 2em; font-weight: bold; color: #4a90d9; }
        .metric .label { font-size: 0.9em; color: #666; }
        table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 16px 0; }
        th, td { padding: 12px; text-align: left; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; }

Save to: memory/reports/report-{YYYY-MM-DD}.html

PDF Export

To generate PDF, use one of these methods:

1. If puppeteer or playwright is available: Render HTML to PDF
2. If wkhtmltopdf is installed: Convert HTML to PDF directly
3. Fallback: Provide the HTML file with instructions to print-to-PDF

Save to: memory/reports/report-{YYYY-MM-DD}.pdf

Step 6: Deliver Report

Send the report to the user via the current channel with:

1. Text summary in the chat
2. File attachment for HTML/PDF if requested
3. Confirmation message: "Boss, report delivered! Every task has a response. 🦞"
