# OpenClaw Use Cases Catalog

A curated reference of real-world OpenClaw use cases gathered from Twitter/X, Reddit, blogs, GitHub, and community showcases. Updated 2026-02-04.

## How to Use

When My Lord asks about use cases or wants inspiration:

1. Reference the catalog below and `findings/` directory for past discoveries
2. Search the web for fresh examples (Twitter/X, Reddit, Discord, blogs)
3. Save new findings to `findings/YYYY-MM-DD.md` with structured format
4. Git commit and push to `{github_org}/openclaw-skill-usecases`

### Saving Findings (Bilingual)

After each invocation that discovers new use cases, append to (or create) `findings/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
**All findings MUST be bilingual** — write both Chinese and English in the same entry. Chinese first, then English. This makes it easier for My Lord to read in his native language while keeping English for reference and searchability.

```markdown
# Findings / 发现 - YYYY-MM-DD

## HH:MM PST

### [中文标题] / [English Title] — [Category/类别]
- **来源/Source**: [URL or @handle]
- **平台/Platform**: [WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/etc.]
- **描述/Description**:
  - 🇨🇳 中文描述
  - 🇺🇸 English description
- **亮点/Why interesting**:
  - 🇨🇳 中文说明为什么有趣
  - 🇺🇸 English explanation of why it's notable
```

Then commit and push:
```bash
cd /path/to/skills/openclaw-usecases
git add findings/ && git commit -m "findings: YYYY-MM-DD" && git push
```
