solobuddy
SoloBuddy is a build-in-public assistant that manages idea backlogs, drafts, publishing, Twitter monitoring, and Telegram buttons. It instructs running shell scripts and CLIs (e.g., ~/.clawdbot/scripts/twitter-monitor.sh, cd {dataPath} && git ... && git push, bird user-tweets) and storing AUTH_TOKEN/CT0 in ~/.zshrc, requiring network access and credentials.
