- Interact with the AgentZero real estate listing tracker (local Rust/Axum backend at http://localhost:8000). Use when asked to add a property listing by URL, refresh an existing listing, or list search profiles/scenarios. AgentZero parses Redfin and REW.ca URLs; Zillow and Realtor.ca are blocked (saves stub only). When a listing is added via agent-suggest, the backend automatically triages it with Claude (assigns a search profile or skips it) — no manual profile selection needed. The Daily Email Scan workflow reads Redfin alert emails via himalaya (IMAP) and opens Gmail in the openclaw browser to extract listing URLs — explicit user consent and himalaya configuration are required before use. After any action, log a summary to agent_zero_logs/YYYY-MM-DD.md in the workspace.

AgentZero Skill
AgentZero is a personal real estate listing tracker. Backend at http://localhost:8000.
Prerequisites
Before using this skill, ensure the following are in place:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| AgentZero backend | Must be running at http://localhost:8000 (Rust/Axum). Start with ./scripts/run_backend.sh in the project directory. |
| ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | Required for automatic listing triage. Set in your environment before starting the backend. Get your key at console.anthropic.com. |
| himalaya | CLI email client — must be installed (brew install himalaya or similar) and configured with your Gmail account via IMAP. Config at ~/.config/himalaya/config.toml. |
| himalaya credentials | Gmail app password or OAuth token stored in keychain. Required for the Daily Email Scan workflow. |
| openclaw browser | Used by the Daily Email Scan to open Gmail and click listing links. Start with openclaw browser --browser-profile openclaw start. |
| AgentZero frontend *(optional)* | Vite UI at http://localhost:5173 for reviewing listings. Start with ./scripts/run_frontend.sh. |
Privacy & Email Access
The Daily Email Scan workflow accesses your Gmail inbox. Specifically it:
- Reads envelope metadata (subject, sender, ID) of Redfin alert emails via
himalaya envelope list - Opens Gmail in the openclaw browser to click through listing links (no email body text is read or stored)
- Records processed email IDs and listing URLs in
~/.openclaw/<WORKSPACE>/skills/agent-zero/agent_zero_claw_logs/
The scan only runs when explicitly triggered (cron or manual) and is scoped to from:redfin.com emails only.
Key APIs
| Action | Method | Endpoint | Body / Params |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add listing (AI) | POST | /api/listings/agent-suggest | {"url": "..."} |
| List all listings | GET | /api/listings | ?status=... |
| Get single listing | GET | /api/listings/:id | — |
Responses are JSON Property objects (see field list below).
Workflow: Add a Listing by URL
- POST
/api/listings/agent-suggestwith{"url": "<url>"}. - On
409 CONFLICTresponse: the listing already exists. Parse the JSON body forexisting_idandexisting_titleand report to user. - On success: the listing is saved as
AgentPending. The backend agent will further review i. - Log a summary to the daily notes file (see Logging section).
Logging — agent_zero_claw_logs/
After every action (add, refresh, skip), append a summary to:
~/.openclaw/<WORKSPACE>/skills/agent-zero/agent_zero_claw_logs/YYYY-MM-DD.mdHere <WORKSPACE> is the name of your OpenClaw workspace for the specific agent; it can be workspace if it is the default agent; or workspace followed by the agent name.
Create the folder and file if they don't exist.
Format:
## HH:MM — Added listing #38
- **Email:** https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/<thread_id>
- **Title:** 7778 Nanaimo St, Vancouver - 6 beds/3.5 baths
- **URL:** https://www.redfin.ca/...
- **Price:** $2,198,000
- **Status:** AgentPending (agent review running in background)
## HH:MM — Skipped listing
- **Email:** https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/<thread_id>
- **URL:** https://...
- **Reason:** No search profile matches — listing is in Burnaby, all profiles target Vancouver.The thread_id is the hex ID visible in the Gmail URL after opening the email in the browser.
Workflow: Daily Email Scan (Cron)
This is the workflow for the scheduled daily cron task.
Requires: himalaya configured with Gmail + openclaw browser running. See Prerequisites above.
Step-by-step
- Notify your user (via whatever messaging channel is configured): "🏠 AgentZero daily scan starting — checking Redfin emails..."
- Write scan-start entry to
~/.openclaw/<WORKSPACE>/skills/agent-zero/agent_zero_claw_logs/YYYY-MM-DD.mdimmediately (create file/folder if needed):
## HH:MM — Scan started
- Checking Redfin emails...- Load state file
~/.openclaw/<WORKSPACE>/skills/agent-zero/agent_zero_claw_logs/processed_emails.json
- If missing, treat as {"processed_ids": [], "date_counts": {}} - Format: {"processed_ids": ["57471", ...], "date_counts": {"2026-03-09": 2}} - processed_ids are himalaya envelope IDs (sequential integers) — used to avoid re-processing emails already handled in previous scans - Append to log:
## HH:MM — Loaded state
- Already processed IDs: 57471, 57457
- Processed today: 1- Check daily limit: count how many emails were processed today (from
date_counts[today]). If ≥ 3, append to log and notify your user:
## HH:MM — Skipped scan
- Reason: Daily limit (3) already reached.- List emails via himalaya:
himalaya envelope list --output json 2>/dev/nullFilter to emails where from.addr contains redfin.com and ID is NOT in processed_ids. Take up to 3 - already_processed_today.
Append to log immediately:
## HH:MM — Found N new Redfin email(s)
- Email IDs: 57493, 57490
- Already processed today: 1 (limit: 3)- For each email:
a. Append to log before opening:
## HH:MM — Processing email <id>: "<subject>"
- Opening in Gmail...b. Open the email in Gmail via browser (run openclaw browser --browser-profile openclaw start if not already running): - Navigate to Gmail and search using the subject and sender from the himalaya envelope (e.g. from:listings@redfin.com subject:"<subject from step 5>") - Click the matching email to open it
c. For each listing link visible in the email body: - Skip "Go tour it", "Tour home", "Schedule a Tour", and "View all saved open houses" links — these go to booking pages, not listings - Skip full address links (e.g. "930 Cambie St, Vancouver, BC, V6B 5X6") — these go to Google Maps - Click the short property name links (e.g. "7778 Nanaimo St" or "2094 E 7th Ave") — these are the actual Redfin listing links - Read the final URL from the new tab (e.g. https://www.redfin.ca/bc/vancouver/.../home/200788210) - Close the tab - ⚠️ Never construct or guess URLs. Only use URLs extracted directly by clicking through the email. Do not derive URLs from propertyId params or address strings. - Append to log before submitting:
- Found listing URL: https://www.redfin.ca/...
- Submitting to AgentZero...- Submit via Add Listing workflow above (no profile selection needed — agent assigns it) - Append result to log immediately after each listing (success, skip, or 409)
d. Mark email as processed: - Update processed_ids in state file with this email ID - Increment date_counts[today] - Add agent_zero label in Gmail via himalaya:
himalaya message copy <email_id> "agent_zero"- Append to log:
- Email <id> marked as processed.- Append final summary to log:
## HH:MM — Scan complete
- Processed N emails, added M listings (K skipped).- Notify your user with summary and a prompt to review new listings in the frontend:
✅ AgentZero scan complete — processed 2 emails, added 3 listings (agent review running in background).
🏡 New listings will appear in Review once the agent finishes: http://localhost:5173/inboxState file location
