TOOLS.md - Local Notes
Skills define how tools work. This file is for your specifics — the stuff that's unique to your setup.
Why Separate?
Skills are shared. Your setup is yours. Keeping them apart means you can update skills without losing your notes, and share skills without leaking your infrastructure.
Gitea (Git Server - DO NOT INSTALL LOCALLY)
⚠️ CRITICAL: Gitea runs on a SEPARATE MACHINE (192.168.1.128). Do NOT install it on Matt's Mac.
Server Location: http://192.168.1.128:3000 (NOT localhost:3000)
- Login: ai-agent / !7883Gitea
- Organization: TopDogLabs
- All repos go under: http://192.168.1.128:3000/TopDogLabs/
Backup Rule - MANDATORY
ALWAYS push to Gitea after significant changes:
cd /Users/mattbruce/.openclaw/workspace
git add -A
git commit -m "Description of changes"
git push origin master
Push after:
- New skills or agent profiles created
- TOOLS.md, SOUL.md, AGENTS.md updates
- New cron jobs or automation
- Significant memory/documentation changes
- New project scaffolding
Why: Ensures continuity if local workspace is lost/corrupted.
Using Gitea
Clone existing repo:
git clone http://192.168.1.128:3000/TopDogLabs/repo-name.git
Push to Gitea:
git push origin main
# Enter username: ai-agent
# Enter password: !7883Gitea
Create new repo via web:
- Go to http://192.168.1.128:3000
- Login as ai-agent
- Click + → New Repository
- Owner: TopDogLabs
- Name: [project-name]
NEVER do this:
- ❌
brew install giteaon Matt's Mac - ❌ Run
gitea weblocally - ❌ Use port 3000 for anything (it's for Next.js dev)

🔄 Automated Task Worker (24/7)
CRITICAL: This is the PRIMARY workflow for all task work. Read this every session.
Cron Job
- Job ID:
b9f3bbe6-bcb5-4483-8816-d044fd91c58a - Schedule: Every hour (24/7)
- Scope: Current sprint ONLY (ignores backlog/future sprints)
- Statuses:
open,todo,in-progress - Assignee: Max (9c29cc99-81a1-4e75-8dff-cd7cc5ceb5aa)
Authentication
The Gantt Board API uses cookie-based auth. For server-to-server calls from this cron job, use the service role token:
# Set the token (already configured in environment)
export GANTT_MACHINE_TOKEN="50cd5e8fe3f895353f97c9ee64052c0b689b4eedf79259746413734d0a163cf8"
Always use API endpoints via CLI tools or direct curl with the token. NEVER use direct Supabase REST calls.
When User Says "Create a Task"
- Immediately add to Gantt Board via CLI:
./scripts/gantt-task-crud.sh create "Title" todo high ... - Assign to current sprint
- Do NOT create separate files (unless specifically asked)
Reading Full Task Details (REQUIRED)
CRITICAL: Use API endpoints, NOT direct Supabase.
Get current sprint via API:
# Get current sprint ID (today's date)
TODAY=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
curl -s "http://localhost:3000/api/sprints" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${GANTT_MACHINE_TOKEN}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" | jq '.sprints[] | select(.startDate <= '"$TODAY"' and .endDate >= '"$TODAY"')'
Fetch tasks for current sprint via API:
curl -s "http://localhost:3000/api/tasks?sprintId={current_sprint_id}&status=open,todo,in-progress" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${GANTT_MACHINE_TOKEN}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
Use CLI tools (API passthrough):
cd /Users/mattbruce/Documents/Projects/OpenClaw/Web/gantt-board
# Get current sprint
./scripts/sprint.sh list --active --json
# List tasks in current sprint
./scripts/task.sh list --sprint current --status open,todo,in-progress --json
# Get full task details including comments
./scripts/task.sh get {task_id} --json
READ in this order:
- Title - High-level goal
- Description - Implementation details, steps
- Comments (ALL of them) - What's done? What's next? What's left?
Task Comment Format (APPEND to existing)
{
"id": "{timestamp}-{random}",
"text": "[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM] 🔄 In Progress\n\n**What was just done:**\n- Step completed\n\n**What is next:**\n- Next action\n\n**What is left to do:**\n- Remaining work",
"replies": [],
"createdAt": "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ",
"commentAuthorId": "9c29cc99-81a1-4e75-8dff-cd7cc5ceb5aa"
}
Status Flow
open/todo → in-progress → review → (user validates) → done

Updating Tasks via CLI (API passthrough)
cd /Users/mattbruce/Documents/Projects/OpenClaw/Web/gantt-board

**What was just done:**

Direct API (if needed):

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
