🦞 lobster-powers — OpenClaw tools for any agent

Snap snap! Give your AI agent some serious claws.

"Why should OpenClaw have all the fun?"

Transform any AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, whatever) into a crustacean powerhouse with scheduling, memory, browser automation, and more.

🤔 What's the deal?

OpenClaw is an awesome AI assistant with superpowers built-in. But those powers are locked inside the OpenClaw ecosystem.

lobster-powers breaks them free! 🦞💥

Same capabilities. Standalone CLI tools. Works everywhere.

🔥 The Powers

Power	CLI	What it does
🕐 cron	lp-cron	"Remind me to touch grass at 5pm"
🧠 memory	lp-memory	"What did we decide about auth last month?"
🌐 browser	lp-browser	"Fill out that form for me"
🗣️ tts	lp-tts	"Say it out loud"
🔍 web-search	lp-web-search	"Google this for me"
📄 web-fetch	lp-web-fetch	"Read that article"
🖼️ image	lp-image	"What's in this picture?"
🔔 notify	lp-notify	ping

📦 Installation

🦀 Claude Code (recommended)

# Add the lobster marketplace
/plugin marketplace add superbereza/lobster-powers

# Unleash the powers
/plugin install lobster-powers@lobster-powers

Done. Your Claude now has claws.

🔧 Manual install (any agent)

git clone https://github.com/superbereza/lobster-powers
cd lobster-powers
./install.sh

This installs:

• CLI tools → ~/.local/bin/lp-*
• Skills → ~/.claude/skills/

⚙️ Requirements

• Python: 3.10+
• OS: Linux, macOS, Windows
• Optional: Playwright browsers for lp-browser (auto-installed)

🔑 API Keys

Some powers need API keys. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your keys:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your keys

Power	Required Key	Free Tier?
🧠 memory	OPENAI_API_KEY	No (~$0.01/100 files)
🖼️ image	OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	No
🗣️ tts	None (Edge TTS)	✅ Yes
🗣️ tts	OPENAI_API_KEY or ELEVENLABS_API_KEY	No

🚀 Quick Start

# Set a reminder
lp-cron add "Stand up and stretch!" --at "now + 1 hour"

# Search your notes
lp-memory search "that auth decision"

# Speak!
lp-tts "Hello, I am a lobster with powers"

# Take a screenshot
lp-browser screenshot

🤖 For AI Agents

Each power comes with a skill that teaches your AI when and how to use it.

Claude Code / OpenCode — skills load automatically via plugin system

Other agents — ./install.sh symlinks skills to ~/.claude/skills/

Then just ask naturally:

• "Remind me to deploy at 3pm"
• "What did we decide about the database schema?"
• "Read that HN article and summarize it"

Your agent figures out which claw to use. 🦞

🦞 Why "lobster-powers"?

Because:

1. OpenClaw → Claw → Lobster 🦞
2. Lobsters are mass and have superpowers (immortality, basically)
3. The name was available
