ClawFlows is a practical workflow catalogue and manager for OpenClaw, but its recent inactivity means adopters should be prepared to maintain workflows themselves.
Good fit if
- You already use OpenClaw and want reusable, scheduled agent routines.
- The available workflows match your needs, or you are comfortable editing their plain-text instructions.
- You can evaluate the Shell installer and workflow actions before enabling them.
Look elsewhere if
- You need a workflow system that does not depend on OpenClaw.
- Your team requires recent project changes or releases as evidence of ongoing maintenance.
- You need a curated workflow for a particular service that is not represented in the repository.

Overview
ClawFlows is a Shell-based workflow manager for OpenClaw. It packages agent instructions as plain-text workflow files, with schedules and commands for enabling, running, editing, and updating them. The goal is to make recurring agent tasks reusable and easier to manage than instructions scattered across different parts of an agent setup.
Its catalogue spans personal routines, home tasks, communication, work, and developer tools. The workflows are starting points rather than a guarantee that every integration works in a given setup: the agent and connected services need to support the tasks involved.
Key Features
- Provides prebuilt workflows for tasks such as email triage, calendar checks, meeting preparation, and repository reviews.
- Uses
WORKFLOW.mdfiles to define workflow instructions and schedules. - Offers a CLI to list, enable, disable, run, validate, edit, and update workflows.
- Supports creating custom workflows interactively or from JSON.
- Lets users copy community workflows into a custom area for editing.
- Includes commands for workflow logs, backups, restore, and sharing.
- Provides a submission path for contributing workflows to the community catalogue.
Use Cases
- An OpenClaw user can enable a morning briefing or calendar-check routine instead of composing those instructions from scratch.
- Someone managing a busy inbox can try email summary or processing workflows, provided their agent can access the relevant email tools.
- A developer can schedule repository checks, pull-request reviews, or dependency checks as recurring agent tasks.
- A household using compatible connected services can adapt routines such as sleep mode, chores, or maintenance reminders.
What you need
Detected in the repository
- Shell (main language on GitHub)
- A test suite and automated checks on GitHub Actions
Getting Started
The README recommends installing with:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nikilster/clawflows/main/system/install.sh | bash
See the repository README for setup details, workflow examples, and CLI usage.
License in Plain Words
No standard license was detected. Without a license, the default copyright rules apply: you may read the code, but not reuse it. Check the repository or ask the authors.
Alternatives
- ai_agents_az: Provides adaptable n8n workflow templates for AI tasks, rather than prebuilt routines designed to run in OpenClaw.
| Project | Language | License | Stars | Status |

Considerations
- The project is marked Quiet: it has had no commits in the last 90 days and no release in the past year. The measured data reports five contributors, with no contributor-concentration flag, but no recent pull requests merged or issues closed in the measured period.
- ClawFlows manages instructions; workflows that interact with email, calendars, smart-home devices, or other services depend on the agent's access and integrations. Review each workflow's actions and permissions before enabling it.
- Installation pipes a remotely fetched Shell script directly to Bash. Inspect the script and workflow files if you need to verify what will run.
- The README identifies the project as MIT licensed. Confirm the repository's current license file and any applicable obligations before redistributing or incorporating it into a product.
