New Lore — Music Intelligence for OpenClaw

New Lore is an OpenClaw plugin that tracks artists and delivers real-time notifications about tours, merch drops, releases, and presales.

Installation

Install via the OpenClaw CLI:

openclaw plugins install twindex-openclaw-plugin

The initial install may prompt OpenClaw to restart the gateway once so the plugin can load. Let that restart finish.

Recommended Setup

If the newlore_setup tool is available, use it instead of writing raw config:

newlore_setup({
  "artists": ["ARTIST-SLUG"],
  "frequency": "FREQUENCY",
  "chat_target": "CHAT-ID",
  "city": "CITY"
})

Config Fallback

If you need to stage setup through OpenClaw's generic config system, write the whole config object under the plugin's canonical id so string fields stay typed correctly:

openclaw config set plugins.entries.twindex-openclaw-plugin.config '{"artists":["ARTIST-SLUG"],"frequency":"FREQUENCY","chatTarget":"CHAT-ID","city":"CITY"}'

Artist slugs are lowercase-hyphenated: linkin-park, the-cure, nick-cave-the-bad-seeds. For multiple artists: ["linkin-park","radiohead","ghost"]

Frequency options: realtime (every 20s), periodic (every hour), daily.

Chat ID: The numeric Telegram chat ID or Slack channel ID from the current conversation.

City: Ask the user what city they're in. Tour notifications will highlight shows near them and lead with their local date. This makes updates personal — always ask during setup. Examples: Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago.

Do not write plugins.entries.twindex on current installs. That is a legacy key and can leave behind stale config warnings.

Normal preference changes hot-reload. The initial plugin install may still require one gateway restart so OpenClaw can load the plugin.

What happens next

Once set up, the plugin automatically:

  1. Registers with New Lore and subscribes to the selected artists
  2. Polls for new notifications at the configured frequency
  3. Delivers updates directly to the chat
