assist_bot: Personal Assistant Fork

Overview

assist_bot is a personal experiment — a fork of the open-source OpenClaw assistant tailored to my workflow. The custom layer adds a booking extension (`extensions/booking-india`) and an assistant skill (`skills/booking-assistant`) that drive third-party booking sites under explicit approval gates. Thin core hooks are documented so upstream OpenClaw security and bug fixes can still be merged cleanly. Hobby-grade, MIT-licensed, with strong disclaimers.

Highlights

• Custom booking extension + skill layer for India-focused services (BookMyShow, Swiggy, Zomato, IRCTC, etc.) — approval-gated by default
• Documented core-fork strategy: thin SDK re-exports and gateway hooks, with a merge guide for tracking upstream
• Approval modes: assistive / semi_auto / high_auto — keeps human-in-the-loop the default
• Connector setup for Google Calendar, Gmail, and Tasks alongside the booking flows
• Explicit liability disclaimers — not endorsed by upstream OpenClaw maintainers
