OpenClaw Master Operations

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 --fix operations
  • Prefer trash over rm — Use recoverable deletion when cleaning up state
  • Verify before applying — Show users what will change before running --fix or --repair commands
  • 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 --json for automation — Machine-readable output for scripts/CI
  • Use --no-color in 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".
