Skills planner

Name: planner
Author: openclaw

Local-first planning engine for trips, weeks, launches, projects, schedules, and structured decision-making. Use whenever the user wants to plan something, organize future steps, create a roadmap, map constraints, compare options, or turn a vague goal into a phased plan. Also use when the user says they need a plan, itinerary, schedule, rollout, timeline, or structured next steps. Local-only storage.

Planner: Turn uncertainty into a workable plan.

Core Philosophy

Plans should reduce uncertainty, not create overhead.
Start with constraints, then shape the plan.
Large plans should become phases, milestones, and next steps.
Good planning creates clarity before execution begins.

Runtime Requirements

Python 3 must be available as
```
python3
```
No external packages required

Storage

All data is stored locally only under:

~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/planner/plans.json

~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/planner/archive.json

No external sync. No cloud storage. No third-party planning APIs.
