+# Capital Equipment - Proactive Automations
+
+These automations run on OpenClaw's heartbeat/cron system to deliver proactive value without the researcher asking.
+
+## Automations
+
+### Equipment Scout (Every 6 hours)
+Monitors marketplace and database for new equipment matching saved searches.
+
+```yaml
+name: equipment-scout
+schedule: "0 */6 * * *"
+description: "Check for new equipment matching your saved interests"
+```
+
+**Prompt for OpenClaw agent:**
+```
+Check the Capital Equipment platform for new listings matching my saved equipment interests.
+Use the search_equipment tool with my saved search criteria.
+Compare results against what I've seen before (check memory for previous scout results).
+If there are new listings I haven't seen, send me a brief summary via my preferred channel.
+Format: Equipment name, location, key specs, and price if available.
+Only notify me if there are genuinely new or notable listings.
+```
+
+### Morning Lab Briefing (Daily at 7 AM)
+Daily summary of equipment-related updates.
+
+```yaml
+name: morning-briefing  
+schedule: "0 7 * * 1-5"
+description: "Daily briefing on equipment bookings, marketplace deals, and network activity"
+```
+
+**Prompt for OpenClaw agent:**
+```
+Generate my morning lab equipment briefing:
+
+1. UPCOMING BOOKINGS: Check if I have any equipment bookings in the next 48 hours. Remind me of facility name, time, and any prep needed.
+
+2. MARKETPLACE DEALS: Use search_marketplace to check for any equipment in my interest areas that was listed in the last 24 hours or had a price drop.
+
+3. EXPIRING OPPORTUNITIES: Check for any marketplace listings about to close or go to auction.
+
+Send a concise briefing - no more than 10 lines. Only include sections with actual updates.
+```
+
+### Booking Reminder (2 hours before)
+Triggered when a booking is approaching.
+
+```yaml
+name: booking-reminder
+trigger: "2 hours before any equipment booking"
+description: "Remind me before upcoming equipment sessions"
+```
+
+**Prompt for OpenClaw agent:**
+```
+I have an equipment booking coming up:
+- Equipment: {equipment_name}
+- Facility: {facility_name}  
+- Time: {start_time}
+- Duration: {duration}
+
+Send me a reminder with:
+1. The booking time and location
+2. Any facility-specific prep requirements (if you can find them)
+3. The facility contact info in case I need to reach them
+
+Keep it brief and actionable.
+```
+
+### Price Alert (Every 12 hours)
+Monitors equipment prices for significant changes.
+
+```yaml
+name: price-alert
+schedule: "0 */12 * * *"
+description: "Alert on significant price changes for watched equipment"
+```
+
+**Prompt for OpenClaw agent:**
+```
+Check the Capital Equipment marketplace for price changes on equipment I'm watching.
+Use search_marketplace for each item in my watchlist.
+Only alert me if:
+- Price dropped more than 15%
+- New listing is 30%+ below typical market price (use get_pricing for fair market value)
+- An item I was watching is about to be removed/sold
+
+Format each alert as: Equipment | Old Price → New Price | % Change | Location
+```
+
+### Network Activity Monitor (Daily)
+Tracks relevant activity from followed researchers.
+
+```yaml
+name: network-monitor
+schedule: "0 18 * * *"
+description: "Evening digest of network activity relevant to my research"
+```
+
+**Prompt for OpenClaw agent:**
+```
+Check for relevant network activity on the Capital Equipment platform:
+1. Use search_papers to check for new publications from researchers I follow or in my equipment interest areas (last 24 hours)
+2. Any new equipment listings at institutions in my network
+3. New researchers in my area of expertise who joined the platform
+
+Only send a digest if there's something genuinely relevant. Skip if nothing notable happened.
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Users should set their preferences:
+
+```
+Tell my Capital Equipment skill:
+- My research interests: [e.g., "cryo-EM, structural biology, protein crystallography"]
+- My institution: [e.g., "MIT"]  
+- Equipment I'm watching: [e.g., "Thermo Fisher Krios, Bruker Avance 600MHz"]
+- Preferred notification channel: [e.g., "WhatsApp", "Slack", "Discord"]
+- Briefing time: [e.g., "7 AM EST"]
+- Alert threshold: [e.g., "only deals >20% below market"]
+```
+
+These preferences are stored in OpenClaw's persistent memory and used by all automations.
