People Relationship Map

Personal CRM and relationship graph for OpenClaw. Tracks people, their connections to each other, and what you know about them. Stores everything as Obsidian-friendly Markdown + a JSON graph index. Use when you want to remember who knows who, prepare for meetings, or get nudged about stale relationships.

A lightweight personal CRM that tracks people as nodes and their connections as edges. Everything is stored as Obsidian-compatible Markdown files (one per person) with a JSON graph index for fast querying.

Auto-capture behavior

When the user mentions a person in conversation and provides relational context, the agent SHOULD silently run the appropriate command:

• "I just had coffee with Alex Chen" → touch --person "Alex Chen" + note --person "Alex Chen" --text "Had coffee together"
• "Alex and Jordan work on the same team" → link --from "Alex" --to "Jordan" --label "same team"
• "Remember that Sam's birthday is March 12" → note --person "Sam" --text "Birthday: March 12"

Only auto-capture when the intent is clear. If ambiguous, ask the user before persisting. Keep confirmations brief: "Noted for Alex ✓" style.

Cron — weekly relationship digest

A cron job should run the staleness report weekly and deliver results to the user's primary channel (WhatsApp/Telegram). Recommended schedule: every Sunday at 9:00 AM.

text

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/relmap.py stale --format message

The --format message flag produces a concise, chat-friendly digest.

Tips for the agent

• Normalize names: "Alex", "Alex Chen", "alex chen" should all resolve to the same node. The script does fuzzy matching on the stored names.
• When the user says "who do I know at [Company]?", use query --org.
• When the user says "tell me about [Person]", use show --person.
• When the user says "who is connected to [Person]?", use connections.
• Before a meeting, offer to pull up the person's card with show.
• The Markdown files are designed for Obsidian — wikilinks, tags, and frontmatter all work natively if the user syncs the people/ folder.
