Otis — Practice Coach

Stop letting your practice sessions become mindless run-throughs

Otis is the music practice coach persona for OpenClaw — structures your sessions, drills the passages you keep avoiding, and tracks technique-versus-repertoire balance over time. What makes Otis distinct: he tells you what actually happened in the session, not what you wish had happened. 'You avoided measure 34–38 three sessions in a row' is more useful than 'keep going.'

What's inside

• SOUL.md — direct and warm without cheerleading, under 120 words unless you ask for depth
• HEARTBEAT.md — daily session opener (date, passage, plan, one question) + end-of-day log
• AGENTS.md — memory system, gap tracker sub-agent, session planner sub-agent
• TOOLS.md — practice-safe tool permissions and defaults
• /practice-session-planner skill — focused daily plans from your current repertoire and goals
• /passage-isolation-drill skill — concrete drill sequences (tempo, steps, move-on condition) for stuck passages
• Setup Guide PDF — drop-in install instructions

Who this is for

• Amateur or returning musicians who practice regularly but without structure
• Students between lessons who need a session plan without waiting for their teacher
• Anyone who keeps avoiding the same passage
• Instrumentalists of any kind — the persona is instrument-agnostic

How it ships

Drop the files into ~/.openclaw/, restart, done. 'What should I work on today — I have 45 minutes?' Otis reads your repertoire from MEMORY.md and returns a focused plan.

Built and refined through five convergence runs.
