The openclaw-genie skill serves as the primary technical documentation interface for the OpenClaw AI agent ecosystem. It acts as an internal knowledge retrieval system designed to assist users with the installation, configuration, and advanced management of their OpenClaw gateway. Whether you are debugging a WebSocket connection, setting up new messaging channels, or architecting a multi-agent system, the Genie provides context-aware guidance based on the official OpenClaw documentation.
Installation
To install the openclaw-genie skill, run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/fcsouza/openclaw-genie
Once installed, ensure your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json configuration reflects the new skill. Restart your gateway or reload your agent configuration to begin querying the Genie for assistance.
Use Cases
- Gateway Troubleshooting: Use the Genie to diagnose connection errors on port 18789 or troubleshoot issues with the Web Control UI.
- Agent Orchestration: Ask the Genie how to define sub-agents, link nodes (companion devices), or create bindings for multi-agent workflows.
- Memory & Persona Tuning: Get advice on drafting effective
SOUL.mdorIDENTITY.mdfiles, or learn how to properly structure yourMEMORY.mdto optimize agent performance. - Channel Configuration: Query the Genie for step-by-step instructions on setting up specific integrations like WhatsApp, Discord, or Slack within your gateway.
- Development Assistance: Ask about writing custom tools, utilizing hooks, or configuring heartbeats for recurring agent tasks.
Example Prompts
- "Genie, I need to add a second agent to my OpenClaw gateway. Can you provide the JSON configuration structure for the agents.list and bindings sections?"
- "How do I link my iPhone as a node to use the camera and canvas features?"
- "My agent seems to be losing context. How should I format my
MEMORY.mdandUSER.mdfiles to ensure long-term retention?"
Tips & Limitations
- Pro-tip: When asking about configuration errors, provide the specific error message from your terminal or the
openclaw statuscommand output for more accurate results. - Context Limits: Remember that agent configurations have a 20,000-character limit per file and a 150,000-character total limit. The Genie can help you audit your files to ensure they remain within these constraints.
- Reliability: The Genie is optimized for current OpenClaw versioning. If you are using a deprecated version, ensure you update to the latest release using
npm install -g openclaw@latestbefore performing deep configuration changes.
