25 OpenClaw Prompts That Actually Save Time

Check my inbox. Categorize every unread email as: URGENT (needs response today),
FOLLOW-UP (needs response this week), FYI (read-only), or SKIP (newsletters/spam).
For each URGENT email, draft a 2-3 sentence reply. Show me the full list sorted
by category with sender, subject, and your one-line summary.

Search my sent emails from the past 7 days. Find any that haven't received a reply.
For each one, tell me: who I emailed, what it was about, how many days ago, and
whether I should follow up or let it go. Draft a gentle follow-up for anything
older than 3 days that seems important.

I'm reaching out to [NAME] at [COMPANY]. They're a [ROLE] and their company does
[WHAT THEY DO]. Research them briefly — check their website and any recent news.
Write a cold email that: opens with something specific about their work (not
generic flattery), connects it to how [YOUR SERVICE] solves a problem they likely
have, and ends with a low-friction CTA (not "book a call"). Keep it under 150 words.

Rewrite this email to be [TONE: firmer / softer / more professional / more casual].
Keep the core message identical but adjust the language. Show me the original and
rewritten version side by side so I can compare.

I just had a meeting with [WHO] about [TOPIC]. Here are my rough notes:

them to confirm everything is accurate. Professional but warm tone.

today based on what's upcoming this week.

I need to schedule a [DURATION]-minute [TYPE: call/meeting] with [PERSON/EMAIL]
about [TOPIC] sometime [THIS WEEK / NEXT WEEK]. Check my calendar for open slots,

prepare. If they're in a different timezone, convert the times.

Look at my calendar for next week. Give me: 1) Day-by-day summary of meetings
and commitments. 2) Days that are dangerously overloaded (4+ meetings). 3) Days
with large open blocks I could use for deep work. 4) Any meetings that look
like they could be emails (low attendee count, no clear agenda). Suggest which
ones to decline or reschedule.

I need to reschedule my [TIME] meeting with [PERSON] about [TOPIC]. Reason:
[REASON — be honest or vague, your choice]. Draft a polite reschedule message,
check my calendar for 3 alternative times this week, and propose them. Make it
sound like I value their time, not like I'm blowing them off.

options (under 100 words each, different angles). Each should feel native to
the platform, not like a copy-paste job.

dressed as news.

what we did this week: [2-3 BULLET POINTS]. Here's what's planned next week:
[2-3 BULLET POINTS]. Any blockers: [YES/NO + DETAILS]. Tone: confident and

agreed scope. The original scope was [BRIEF DESCRIPTION]. Draft a response
that: 1) Acknowledges their request positively. 2) Clearly explains it's
outside the current scope. 3) Offers two options: add it as a change order
with estimated cost/timeline, or save it for a Phase 2. Keep it friendly but
firm — I need to protect the project boundaries without damaging the relationship.

and any notes. Give me a client health score (🟢 happy, 🟡 neutral, 🔴 at risk)

3) Final notice (21 days overdue, mention pausing work). Each should be under
100 words. Professional throughout — never accusatory.

Review this contract/SOW: [PASTE TEXT]. Flag: 1) Anything that limits my rights
or IP ownership. 2) Payment terms that put me at risk (net-60+, milestone-only,
kill fees). 3) Scope language that's vague enough to invite scope creep.
4) Non-compete or exclusivity clauses. 5) Liability or indemnification red
flags. For each flag, explain the risk in plain English and suggest alternative
language I could propose.
