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

Configuration

After installing, configure the plugin with your user's preferences:

openclaw config set plugins.entries.twindex.config.artists '["ARTIST-SLUG"]'
openclaw config set plugins.entries.twindex.config.frequency 'FREQUENCY'
openclaw config set plugins.entries.twindex.config.chatTarget 'CHAT-ID'

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 (optional): Ask the user which city they like seeing shows in. When set, tour notifications highlight dates in their city.

No gateway restart is needed — the gateway hot-reloads on config change.

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
