SoloBuddy

Build-in-public content assistant. A living companion, not a tool.

Quick Start

1. Set your data path in ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:

{
  "solobuddy": {
    "dataPath": "~/projects/my-bip-folder",
    "voice": "jester-sage"
  }
}

1. Create folder structure (replace path with your own):

mkdir -p ~/projects/my-bip-folder/ideas ~/projects/my-bip-folder/drafts ~/projects/my-bip-folder/data
touch ~/projects/my-bip-folder/ideas/backlog.md

1. Start using: "show backlog", "new idea", "generate post"

Placeholders

ClawdBot automatically replaces these in commands:

• {dataPath} → your configured solobuddy.dataPath
• {baseDir} → skill installation folder

Data Structure

All data in {dataPath}:

• ideas/backlog.md — idea queue
• ideas/session-log.md — session captures
• drafts/ — work in progress
• data/my-posts.json — published posts
• data/activity-snapshot.json — project activity (updated hourly)

Voice Profiles

Configure in solobuddy.voice. Available:

See {baseDir}/prompts/profile.md for voice details.

Modules

Commands

Backlog

Show ideas:

cat {dataPath}/ideas/backlog.md

Add idea:

echo "- [ ] New idea text" >> {dataPath}/ideas/backlog.md

Session Log

View recent:

tail -30 {dataPath}/ideas/session-log.md

Add capture:

echo -e "## $(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')\nText" >> {dataPath}/ideas/session-log.md

Drafts

List: ls {dataPath}/drafts/

Read: cat {dataPath}/drafts/.md

Save draft:

cat > {dataPath}/drafts/<name>.md << 'EOF'
Content
EOF

Publishing

cd {dataPath} && git add . && git commit -m "content: add draft" && git push

Project Activity

Read activity snapshot for strategic context:

cat {dataPath}/data/activity-snapshot.json

Fields:

• daysSilent — days since last commit
• commitsToday/Yesterday/Week — activity intensity
• phase — current state: active/momentum/cooling/silent/dormant
• insight — human-readable summary

Phases:

• active — commits today, project is hot
• momentum — yesterday active, today quiet (nudge opportunity)
• cooling — 2-3 days silent, losing steam
• silent — 3-7 days, needs attention
• dormant — 7+ days, paused or abandoned

Use for strategic advice:

• "sphere-777 has 10 commits today — focused there"
• "ReelStudio silent 5 days — should we address it?"

Telegram Integration

When responding in Telegram, include inline buttons for actions.

Send Message with Buttons

    [{"text":"✍️ Drafts","callback_data":"sb:drafts"}],
    [{"text":"💡 New Idea","callback_data":"sb:new_idea"}]

Callback Data Format

All callbacks use prefix sb::

• sb:backlog — show ideas
• sb:drafts — list drafts
