Github.com ui .currently does not natively supoport search for multiple topic tags as of now. However their api allows you to query multiple tags. Below is a simple example to query github.com with ecs and go topic tags.

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.mercy-preview+json" \
https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=topic:ecs+topic:go

Response from the github can be rather verbose so lets filter only relavant info such repo url and description.

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.mercy-preview+json" \
https://api.github.com/search/repositories\?q\=topic:ecs+topic:go | jq '.items[] | {url:.url, description:.description}'

OpenClaw after 50 days: all prompts

Companion prompts for the video: OpenClaw after 50 days: 20 real workflows (honest review)

These are the actual prompts I use for each use case shown in the video. Copy-paste them into your agent and adjust for your setup. Most will work as-is or the agent will ask you clarifying questions.

Each prompt describes the intent clearly enough that the agent can figure out the implementation details. You don't need to hand-hold it through every step.

My setup: OpenClaw running on a VPS, Discord as primary interface (separate channels per workflow), Obsidian for notes (markdown-first), Coolify for self-hosted services.
