Lobster: Automate Workflows
From the repo · “Lobster is a Openclaw-native workflow shell: a typed, local-first “macro engine” that turns skills/tools into composable pipelines and safe automations—and lets Openclaw call those workflows in one step.”
Use Lobster to write automation scripts for your workflow.
"A founder wants to automate the way they send personalized welcome messages to new customers. They use Lobster to write a script that pulls new customer data from Stripe, adds it to their Notion database, and then uses Resend to send a customized email. The script runs in under a minute every time, saving them an hour per week."
