Full Session Transcript - 2026-01-27

Session ID: 013a5ea6-c503-4660-b5cc-27fddcd4aa71 Channel: webchat


User [19:27:19]

A new session was started via /new or /reset. Say hi briefly (1-2 sentences) and ask what the user wants to do next. If the runtime model differs from default_model in the system prompt, mention the default model in the greeting. Do not mention internal steps, files, tools, or reasoning.


Assistant [19:27:22]

Hey Elijah! What can I help you with?


Assistant [19:27:25]

Model set to github-copilot/claude-sonnet-4.


Assistant [19:27:38]

[Tool: read]


Assistant [19:27:41]

Let me check if himalaya is already installed: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:27:47]

Himalaya v1.1.0 is already installed. Let me check if you have any existing configuration: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:27:57]

No configuration yet. You have two options:

Option 1: Interactive Wizard (easiest)

himalaya account configure

This walks you through setup step-by-step.

Option 2: Manual Config I can create the config file for you if you tell me:

  1. Email provider β€” Gmail, iCloud, Fastmail, custom IMAP/SMTP?
  2. Email address
  3. Display name (for outgoing mail)

For Gmail/iCloud, you'll need an app-specific password (not your main password) due to their security requirements.

Which approach do you want?


User [19:28:55]

that command doesn't work, is it npx himalaya?


Assistant [19:28:58]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:29:05]

Himalaya is installed on this server at /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/himalaya (via Homebrew). It's not an npm/npx package.

Are you trying to set it up:

  • Here (on this server) β€” it's ready to go
  • On your local machine β€” you'd need to install it first

If local, the easiest install is:

brew install himalaya

Or download the binary from the GitHub releases.

Which machine are we setting up?


User [19:38:10]

which default backend should I choose for icloud


Assistant [19:38:16]

For iCloud, choose IMAP as the backend.

iCloud's settings:

  • IMAP host: imap.mail.me.com
  • IMAP port: 993 (TLS)
  • SMTP host: smtp.mail.me.com
  • SMTP port: 587 (STARTTLS)

Important: You'll need an app-specific password from Apple:

  1. Go to appleid.apple.com
  2. Sign in β†’ Security β†’ App-Specific Passwords
  3. Generate one for "Himalaya"

Use that password (not your Apple ID password) when the wizard asks.


User [19:41:09]

what's my imap login?


Assistant [19:41:14]

Your IMAP login is your full iCloud email address β€” e.g. [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected].

It's the same email address you use to sign into iCloud.


User [19:41:55]

what backend for sending messages?


Assistant [19:41:58]

SMTP for sending.


User [19:43:02]

alright config is in, can you fetch email?


Assistant [19:43:05]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:43:19]

[Tool: process]


Assistant [19:43:22]

[Tool: process]


Assistant [19:43:49]

[Tool: process]


Assistant [19:43:54]

It's hanging β€” likely waiting for a password. Let me check your config: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:44:00]

[Tool: process]


Assistant [19:44:06]

Found the issues:

  1. Port 993 needs tls, not start-tls (start-tls is for port 143)
  2. auth.command expects a shell command that outputs the password β€” you put the password directly

Let me fix it: [Tool: edit]


Assistant [19:44:10]

[Tool: edit]


Assistant [19:44:13]

Now let's try again: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:44:19]

Working! πŸ“§ You've got 10 emails showing β€” mostly Discord promos and a couple others.

The * flag means unread. Want me to read any of them, or check a different folder?


Assistant [19:44:50]

Himalaya is good to go. I'll note the setup. [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:44:53]

Done. You can now use himalaya commands anytime β€” list emails, read, reply, search, etc. Just ask.


User [19:45:12]

do you get notifications when I get a new email?


Assistant [19:45:19]

Nope β€” himalaya is pull-only, no push notifications.

But I can set up periodic checking:

  1. Heartbeat β€” I'd check your inbox a few times a day during my regular polls
  2. Cron job β€” Check every X minutes and ping you if something new arrives

Want me to set one up? Heartbeat is lighter (batches with other checks), cron is more precise timing.


User [19:45:45]

no that's ok, I don't get much email there anyway


Assistant [19:45:48]

Makes sense. It's there when you need it β€” just ask me to check or send whenever.


User [19:46:09]

I want to symlink some folders from a repo of skills to your skills directory, whats the appropriate way to do that?


Assistant [19:46:15]

The workspace skills directory is /home/clawd/clawd/skills/ β€” that's where user-added skills go. [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:46:20]

Symlink into /home/clawd/clawd/skills/:

ln -s /path/to/your/repo/skill-name /home/clawd/clawd/skills/skill-name

Each skill folder needs a SKILL.md at its root to be recognized.

Where's your repo? I can set up the symlinks for you.


User [19:47:03]

I cloned it into your home directory /home/clawd/agent_skills


Assistant [19:47:07]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:47:11]

Nice collection! Let me check which ones have SKILL.md and symlink them: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:47:16]

All valid. Let me symlink them (skipping snow-report since it already exists): [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:47:20]

Done β€” 12 skills linked.

snow-report was skipped since you already had one. Want me to replace it with the symlink to keep it in sync with your repo?


User [19:47:34]

ok, unlink them all now, I only wanted to link a few


Assistant [19:47:38]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:47:41]

All removed. Which ones do you want?


User [19:48:00]

lets start with news-summary, r2-upload, telegram-usage, and skillcraft


Assistant [19:48:04]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:48:07]

Done β€” those 4 are live. Want me to read through any of them to get familiar?


User [19:48:14]

yes


Assistant [19:48:18]

[Tool: read] [Tool: read] [Tool: read] [Tool: read]


Assistant [19:48:31]

Got it. Here's the summary:

πŸ“° news-summary

Fetches headlines from RSS feeds (BBC, Reuters, NPR, Al Jazeera) and summarizes them. Can output as text or voice via TTS. Simple curl-based approach β€” no API keys needed.

πŸ“€ r2-upload

Uploads files to Cloudflare R2/S3 and generates presigned download URLs (default 5 min expiration). Needs config at ~/.r2-upload.yml with bucket credentials. Uses a CLI tool r2-upload.

πŸ“Š telegram-usage

Shows API quota remaining and reset time. But heads up β€” the handler path is hardcoded to /home/drew-server/clawd/... which won't work here. Want me to fix it?

🧢 skillcraft

Meta-skill for creating new skills. Comprehensive framework: problem understanding β†’ capability discovery β†’ architecture β†’ implementation. References pattern files and relies on documentation access.

Any of these need setup or fixes?


User [19:49:10]

yes, fix telegram-usage handler path and lets setup r2-upload


Assistant [19:49:14]

[Tool: exec] [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:49:18]

[Tool: edit] [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:49:23]

Fixed telegram-usage. Now for r2-upload:

  1. CLI tool not installed β€” let me check if there's an install method: [Tool: exec]

Assistant [19:49:25]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:49:29]

It's a TypeScript MCP tool. Let me install and build it: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:49:41]

Built. Now let's set up the config: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [19:49:47]

To set up R2, I need:

  1. Cloudflare Account ID β€” from dashboard URL: dash.cloudflare.com/<ACCOUNT_ID>/...
  2. Bucket name β€” existing R2 bucket or I can tell you how to create one
  3. R2 API Token β€” from dash.cloudflare.com/<ACCOUNT_ID>/r2/api-tokens
    • Create token with Object Read & Write on your bucket
    • Gives you Access Key ID + Secret Access Key

Got these handy, or need help getting them?


User [19:54:38]

my account_id is the api token is:


Assistant [19:54:45]

I still need a couple more pieces:

  1. Bucket name β€” what's your R2 bucket called?
  2. Access Key ID β€” when you created the API token, it should have given you two values:
    • Access Key ID (shorter, like a1b2c3d4e5f6...)
    • Secret Access Key (what you just sent)

The token you sent looks like the Secret Access Key. Can you grab the Access Key ID too?


User [20:00:14]

ok I had it wrong, here's the correct keys. access key id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx secret access key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Assistant [20:00:18]

Got those. What's the bucket name?


User [20:00:47]

here's the jurisdiction specific endpoints for s3-like clients: https://0f65af338220b5ce3914499fc0dc9ae9.r2.cloudflarestorage.com


Assistant [20:00:50]

Got the endpoint. Just need the bucket name β€” the name you gave your R2 bucket in Cloudflare (e.g., my-files, uploads, etc.)?


User [20:01:28]

the bucket name is clawd


Assistant [20:01:33]

[Tool: write]


Assistant [20:01:37]

Config created. Let me test it: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:01:50]

[Tool: process]


Assistant [20:01:55]

[Tool: process]


Assistant [20:01:58]

It's an MCP server, not a direct CLI. Let me check how to use it: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:02:02]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:02:09]

It's an MCP server β€” needs to be added to Clawdbot's MCP config. But let me first test that your credentials work: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:02:15]

Credentials work β€” bucket is empty and ready.

Now to integrate it. Let me check Clawdbot's current MCP config: [Tool: gateway]


Assistant [20:02:29]

Easier approach β€” I'll create a simple CLI wrapper so I can use it directly without config changes: [Tool: write]


Assistant [20:02:34]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:02:38]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:02:43]

It works. Let me create a cleaner wrapper: [Tool: write]


Assistant [20:02:46]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:02:51]

All set!

Summary:

  • βœ… telegram-usage path fixed
  • βœ… R2 credentials verified
  • βœ… Wrapper at /home/clawd/clawd/scripts/r2

Usage:

/home/clawd/clawd/scripts/r2 /path/to/file           # 5 min expiry
/home/clawd/clawd/scripts/r2 /path/to/file --expires 1h  # 1 hour
/home/clawd/clawd/scripts/r2 /path/to/file --expires 1d  # 1 day

When you ask me to share a file, I'll upload it and give you a temporary download link.

User [20:08:11]

works!


Assistant [20:08:15]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:08:18]

Nice. File sharing is ready whenever you need it.


User [20:10:17]

lets setup the telegram_usage skill


Assistant [20:10:22]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:10:25]

Let me test it: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:10:36]

Already works! No setup needed β€” it just runs clawdbot models status and formats the output.

πŸ“Š API Usage

πŸ”‹ Quota: 🟑 72%
⏱️ Resets in: 3h 49m

You can ask me for usage/quota anytime and I'll run it.


Assistant [20:12:29]

Hey, reminder popped up β€” pick up your credit card from Moe's Bagels! πŸ₯―

Now let me get shared_memory set up: [Tool: exec] [Tool: read]


Assistant [20:12:33]

Linked. It needs an Ensue API key. Let me check if one's configured: [Tool: exec] [Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:12:37]

No API key yet. You'll need to:

  1. Get a free key at https://www.ensue-network.ai/login
  2. Give me the key and I'll add it to the config

Or if you want to skip this one for now, just say so.


User [20:14:17]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:17:47]

API key works but needs sharing permission enabled. Let me check what permissions the account has: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:17:54]

Partially β€” the API key connects but sharing features need to be enabled on your Ensue account.

Working: list-permissions βœ“ Blocked: User/group management (needs "sharing" permission)

You may need to enable sharing features at https://www.ensue-network.ai β€” could be a plan setting or account toggle. Want me to dig into it more, or skip this one for now?


User [20:19:01]

[Telegram Elijah C (@ecmd0) id:7941138007 +1m 2026-01-27 20:19 UTC] Ok sharing should be enabled for your group


Assistant [20:19:04]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:19:13]

Working now! πŸŽ‰

Grants found:
- "bots" group has sharing permission
- "admin" user has full access (read/create/update/delete/sharing)

One fix needed β€” the script looks for ensue-learning-memory in config but I saved it under shared-memory. Let me add an env export so it just works: [Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:19:17]

[Tool: exec]


Assistant [20:19:21]

Shared memory is ready. I can now:

  • Create users/groups
  • Grant/revoke permissions
  • Subscribe to memory changes
  • Share namespaces between agents

Want to test creating a user or group?


User [20:21:32]

Assistant [20:25:01]

Shared memory is working! βœ…

Created:

  • travel/ namespace with full bots group access
  • Test key: travel/test β†’ "Hello from the travel namespace! 🧳"

Permissions (bots group on travel/):

  • βœ“ read
  • βœ“ create
  • βœ“ update
  • βœ“ delete

I can now store and retrieve shared memories in the travel namespace.

Hit a limit β€” presigned URLs max out at 7 days (S3/R2 limitation).

Options:

  1. 7-day expiration β€” I'd need to regenerate links weekly
  2. Public bucket β€” files accessible without expiration (but anyone with URL can access)
  3. Custom domain β€” set up public access via Cloudflare domain

Which do you prefer? Or I can just do 7 days for now and we'll figure out longer-term storage later.

alright help me work out a itinerary/timetable for this day in sintra, I'll give it to you in chunks


Assistant [01:56:53]

Ready! Send me what you've got and I'll piece together a timed schedule for Feb 11.

Drive from our camp in orbitur cascais to sintra train station (~20min). Take bus 434 up to the entrance (20-30min); we should be at the entrance at 9a. Palace opens at 930a, I'm guessing we'll spend 30min there? Explore the park/gardens after, maybe 1-2hrs. Walk from the back park exit to moorish castle (~20mins) Spend about an hour at moorish castle?

Yep! Just give me the URL and I'll fetch it and summarize the key points.

Reddit blocked me, but I got good info from the blog plus some Reddit snippets from search. Let me compile what I have: [Tool: write]


Assistant [02:32:03]

Done! Saved to /home/clawd/clawd/memory/sintra-tips.md

Reddit blocked direct access but I got their snippets from search results. Key takeaways:

  • You're arriving at 9am β€” perfect timing to beat the 10:30am-3pm crush
  • Walk through Pena gardens to the back exit β†’ short downhill to Moorish Castle
  • Bring snacks/water β€” refreshment queues are brutal
  • Quinta da Regaleira's Initiation Well goes 9 floors underground!
  • Monserrate is the quiet one β€” good for winding down the day
