Question 1

Is ClawKit an official OpenClaw product?

Accepted Answer

No. ClawKit is an unofficial, community-driven project. We are not affiliated with the core team, but we build tools to make their ecosystem more accessible.

Question 2

Is my API Key safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Config Wizard runs entirely in your browser. Your API keys are never sent to our servers — they only exist in the JSON file you download.

Question 3

Does this work on Windows?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Windows users often face "JSON Parse Error" due to backslash paths (e.g. C:\Users). Our tools automatically detect and escape these paths for you.

Question 4

Do I need Docker to run OpenClaw?

Accepted Answer

Not strictly required, but Docker is highly recommended to prevent dependency conflicts. ClawKit's Config Wizard can generate a docker-compose.yml optimized for v2.

Question 5

How accurate is the Cost Estimator?

Accepted Answer

It provides a baseline estimate based on current public pricing (DeepSeek V3.2, GPT-4.1, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Flash). Actual costs depend on your specific usage patterns.

Question 6

Can I use DeepSeek with OpenClaw?

Accepted Answer

Yes! DeepSeek V3.2 is fully supported and is significantly cheaper than GPT-4.1 for similar performance. Our Config Wizard has a one-click preset for DeepSeek.

Question 7

How do I fix "ECONNREFUSED" errors?

Accepted Answer

This is the #1 most common error. Usually your agent isn't running or Node.js is forcing IPv6. Try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, or run our Local Doctor tool.

Question 8

What changed in OpenClaw v2?

Accepted Answer

v2 uses strict JSON instead of YAML, has a new plugin system with skill registry, and strongly recommends Docker. See our Migration Guide for details.

Question 9

How can I submit my own Skill?

Accepted Answer

Ensure your GitHub repo has a valid README.md or SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter, then submit a PR to our seeds.json file.
