Solopreneur Assistant — by The Agent Ledger

What This Skill Does

Configures your agent to handle the operational overhead of running a solo business:

1. 1. Inbox Triage — Categorize and summarize emails by priority (urgent / action needed / FYI / archive)
2. Task Management — Maintain a running task list with deadlines, dependencies, and priority scoring
3. Revenue Dashboard — Track income streams, expenses, and monthly targets
4. Weekly Review — Automated end-of-week summary: wins, blockers, next week's priorities
5. Decision Journal — Log important business decisions with reasoning, so you can review what worked
6. Opportunity Filter — When you share a new idea, the agent evaluates it against your goals before you chase it

Setup

Prerequisites

• - A working OpenClaw agent with messaging configured (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
• An AGENTS.md or SOUL.md file the agent reads on startup — install the memory-os skill first if you don't have these
• (Optional) Calendar and email access for full automation

Step 1: Add the Solopreneur Context

Add the following to your agent's AGENTS.md (or equivalent startup file):

Step 2: Create the Business Tracking File

First, create the business/ directory in your workspace if it doesn't exist. Then create business/DASHBOARD.md:

Step 3: Create the Decision Journal

Create business/DECISIONS.md:

Customization

Adjust Priorities

Edit the "Solopreneur Assistant Mode" section in AGENTS.md to reflect your actual business priorities. The framework is a starting point.

Want it gentler? Add:

Integration with Other Skills

• - Daily Briefing — Solopreneur Assistant pairs naturally with the daily-briefing skill. The briefing delivers the data; this skill provides the business context and accountability layer.
• Memory Architect — Use memory-os to ensure business context persists across sessions.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Agent doesn't reference DASHBOARD.md	Make sure your AGENTS.md instructs the agent to read it on startup or during briefings
Weekly review missing data

Check that daily memory files are being written consistently | | Opportunity filter too harsh/lenient | Adjust the scoring criteria or add weights for your priorities | | Agent forgets business context | Pair with the memory-os skill for persistent memory architecture | | Revenue numbers stale | Set a reminder to update DASHBOARD.md weekly, or connect to an API if available |

Philosophy

Running a solo business means you're the CEO, accountant, marketer, and janitor. Your agent can't do all of those — but it can make sure nothing falls through the cracks while you focus on the work that actually generates revenue.

The goal isn't to automate your business. It's to automate the awareness of your business, so you always know where you stand and what needs attention next.
