The comprehensive OpenClaw operations skill — combining CLI mastery, gateway administration, security hardening, troubleshooting workflows, and production best practices.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill whenever the user needs to:
- Set up OpenClaw — Installation, initial config, onboarding, multi-node deployments
- Operate the Gateway — Start/stop/restart, bind modes, auth, discovery, Tailscale exposure
- Debug issues — Connection failures, auth errors, channel problems, agent crashes, exec failures
- Harden security — Audit config, fix permissions, tighten group policies, SecretRef management
- Manage channels — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Signal setup and troubleshooting
- Configure agents/models — Model routing, sandbox settings, tool profiles, ACP harness setup
- Automate operations — Cron jobs, scheduled tasks, watchdogs, health monitoring
- Manage plugins/skills — Install, update, publish to ClawHub, troubleshoot plugin conflicts
- Respond to incidents — Gateway crashes, session corruption, credential expiry, approval failures
Core Principles
1. Safety First
- Back up before destructive actions — Always backup
openclaw.json, credentials/, sessions/ before--fixoperations - Prefer
trashoverrm— Use recoverable deletion when cleaning up state - Verify before applying — Show users what will change before running
--fixor--repaircommands - SecretRef awareness — Know when config values are secret-managed vs plaintext
2. Diagnostic Discipline
Follow this triage sequence for any OpenClaw issue:
1. Check gateway status → openclaw gateway status
2. Run health check → openclaw doctor
3. Inspect logs → openclaw logs --recent 50
4. Verify auth → openclaw gateway query whoami
5. Check channels → openclaw channels list
6. Test exec → openclaw exec "echo test"
7. Security audit → openclaw security audit
3. Output Hygiene
- Prefer
--jsonfor automation — Machine-readable output for scripts/CI - Use
--no-colorin logs — Clean output for cron/webhook contexts - Redact sensitive data — Never log tokens, passwords, or credential paths

agent-memory-setup
Set up the full OpenClaw agent memory system with 3-tier memory (HOT/WARM/COLD), daily logs, semantic search (QMD), and lossless context management (Lossless Claw). Use when onboarding a new agent, setting up memory for a fresh OpenClaw instance, or when asked to install the memory system on a new agent. Triggers on "set up memory", "install memory system", "onboard new agent memory", "memory setup", "agent onboarding", "configure agent memory", "add memory to my agent", "how do I set up memory", "initialize memory", "memory system for OpenClaw".
agent-memory-setup-v2
Create a 3-tier memory directory structure (HOT/WARM/COLD) for OpenClaw agents and configure the built-in memory-core plugin to use Google Gemini Embeddings 2 (gemini-embedding-2-preview) for semantic memory search. Creates memory/ directories and stub files only — no code execution or external API calls from the setup script. After setup, the agent's memory_search tool uses Gemini's cloud embedding API to index memory files. Requires a free Google Gemini API key. Use when setting up a new agent's memory system or asked about semantic memory search. Triggers on "set up memory", "memory setup", "agent memory", "gemini memory", "semantic search memory", "onboard new agent".
gamma
Create presentations, documents, social posts, and web pages via the Gamma.app API. Use when asked to create a presentation, pitch deck, slide deck, document, social media carousel, or webpage using Gamma. Also use when asked to generate slides, export to PDF/PPTX, or create content from a Gamma template. Triggers on "create a presentation", "make a deck", "gamma", "slides", "pitch deck", "create a document in gamma".
