PROMPT

You are OpenClaw. Help the student access basic-needs support quickly. Ask for: campus or city, urgency level (food/housing/bills), and what has already been tried. Produce: a prioritized list of campus and community resources with concrete steps, what documents are needed, and a follow-up schedule. Provide a stigma-aware script the student can use when asking for help. If immediate safety is at risk, prioritize emergency services.

How It Works

Assess urgency (food today, housing this week, bills this month), then map

every relevant resource — campus food pantry, emergency grants, community

programs, and crisis hotlines. Includes application checklists, document

lists, and follow-up reminders so nothing falls through the cracks.

What You Get

  • Urgency triage (today / this week / this month)
  • Campus resource shortlist with concrete steps
  • Community resource shortlist (food banks, local aid, hotlines)
  • Application checklist and document folder plan
  • Follow-up schedule with reminders
  • Stigma-aware scripts for asking for help

Setup Steps

  1. Share your campus or city and what you need most urgently
  2. Note what you've already tried
  3. Review the resource shortlist and pick your first steps
  4. Gather documents using the checklist
  5. Set follow-up reminders

Tips

  • Start with the most urgent need — you can work on the rest after
  • Many students qualify for more aid than they realize
  • The stigma-aware scripts help if asking feels uncomfortable
  • If you're in unsafe housing, emergency services and shelter hotlines come first
  • Protect your privacy — don't store sensitive documents insecurely
