A dev sidekick on every channel

Goal: keep the development loop moving when you’re nowhere near the keyboard.

1. Watch the repos — new PRs arrive in your chat as a summary plus a first-pass review: risky diffs, missing tests, the question worth asking. You still do the real review; you just start it oriented.
2. Fix from anywhere — describe a bug from your phone; OpenClaw reproduces it in the workspace, drafts the change on a branch, and opens a PR. You merge from the couch or reject with a comment.
3. Health checks on cron — every 30 minutes it sweeps your servers, deploys, and error trackers; you only hear about it when severity crosses your line.
4. Open-source mode — for maintainers: triage new issues, tag the right people, and draft first responses to recurring questions.

Cost control, learned the hard way: route by task — small fast models for cron sweeps and summaries, big models only for real reviews — and compress what goes into context (the QMD trick: query-aware markdown instead of raw dumps). That’s the difference between a $30 and a $300 month.

Give the agent discipline with Superpowers and restraint with Ponytail — they stack.
