# TOOLS.md - Local Notes

Skills define *how* tools work. This file is for *your* specifics — the stuff that's unique to your setup.

## What Goes Here

Things like:
- Camera names and locations
- SSH hosts and aliases  
- Preferred voices for TTS
- Speaker/room names
- Device nicknames
- Anything environment-specific

## Examples

```markdown
### Cameras
- living-room → Main area, 180° wide angle
- front-door → Entrance, motion-triggered

### SSH
- home-server → 192.168.1.100, user: admin

### TTS
- Preferred voice: "Nova" (warm, slightly British)
- Default speaker: Kitchen HomePod
```

## Why Separate?

Skills are shared. Your setup is yours. Keeping them apart means you can update skills without losing your notes, and share skills without leaking your infrastructure.

## Browser Tools - Default to `openclaw` Profile

**⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use `profile: "openclaw"` by default**

The `chrome` profile (Browser Relay) requires:
- You to be physically at the machine
- Clicking the OpenClaw Browser Relay toolbar icon to attach a tab

If you're remote or the tab isn't attached, automation fails.

### When to Use Each Profile

| Profile | Use When | Requirements |
|---------|----------|--------------|
| **`openclaw`** | Default for all automation | None — works standalone |
| `chrome` | You explicitly have a tab open and attached | Physical access + toolbar icon clicked |

### For Skills Using Browser Tools

Add explicit `profile: "openclaw"` to all browser calls:
```json
{"action": "navigate", "profile": "openclaw", "targetUrl": "..."}
```

**The skill defaults to `chrome` if not specified — always override.**
