TOOLS.dev Template: User Tool Notes for Dev Agents
This page provides a template for documenting external tools and conventions used by a development agent. It includes examples for iMessage and text-to-speech commands, and is intended for users who want to customize their toolchain notes.

TOOLS.md - User Tool Notes (editable)
This file is for your own notes about external tools and conventions. It does not specify which tools exist; OpenClaw handles built-in tools internally, and skills supply the rest.
Examples
imsg
- Send an iMessage or SMS: describe who and what, confirm before sending.
- Keep messages short; do not send secrets.
sag
- Text to speech: specify the voice, the target speaker or room, and whether to stream.
Add anything else you want the assistant to know about your local toolchain.
