Check requirements

Before installing, see what capabilities the automation needs:

clawflows check youtube-competitor-tracker

Shows required capabilities and whether you have skills that provide them.

Install an automation

clawflows install youtube-competitor-tracker

Downloads to ./automations/youtube-competitor-tracker.yaml

How It Works

Automations use capabilities (abstract) not skills (concrete):

steps:
  - capability: youtube-data      # Not a specific skill
    method: getRecentVideos
    args:
      channels: ["@MrBeast"]
    capture: videos
    
  - capability: database
    method: upsert
    args:
      table: videos
      data: "${videos}"

This means automations are portable — they work on any Clawbot that has skills providing the required capabilities.
