Search the web via the websearch CLI. Uses DuckDuckGo (ddgr) as primary provider and Tavily API as fallback with AI-powered answers.
websearch "best restaurants in Boston"
websearch "weather tomorrow Boston"
websearch "python requests library docs"
Default behavior: tries ddgr first (free, unlimited), falls back to Tavily if ddgr fails.
websearch tavily "what is the capital of France"
websearch tavily "how does photosynthesis work"
The tavily subcommand uses the Tavily API and includes an AI-generated answer along with source results.

Use exact configured Reolink cameras through the local Home Hub for availability and power status, fresh stills, visual commentary, protected Dylan/Julia/household sharing, and reversible spotlight control. Supports trusted owner tasks and explicitly scoped proactive automations; not for Nest or Ring cameras, arbitrary recipients, recordings, account changes, or raw camera APIs.
data-ai
Privately manage Dylan and Julia's household plant inventory and care history by physical location, bed, and exact Flower Cam view. Use for confirmed plant onboarding from camera conversations, camera- or bed-filtered inventory, record corrections, individual or whole-bed care, and private filtered exports. Pair with reolink-camera when an owner asks about plants visible in Flower Cam images.
testing
Inspect and control the physically secured Reachy Mini at Crosstown through ClawBody. Use for requests to check Reachy, look around, express an emotion, play any official emotion or dance preset, speak proactively, mute or unmute its microphone, stop movement, or describe what its camera sees.
tools
Handle Reachy/iMessage handoffs, selective durable memory, forgetting, and diagnostics; automatic context comes from the gateway plugin.
