What This Skill Does

The openclaw-self-healing skill provides a robust, 4-tier autonomous recovery architecture designed specifically for the OpenClaw Gateway. It operates by layering defensive strategies: Level 1 monitors processes via an internal watchdog, Level 2 performs automated HTTP health checks with retry logic, Level 3 employs Claude Code as an autonomous emergency doctor to diagnose and patch configuration or runtime issues, and Level 4 provides human-in-the-loop escalation via Discord and Telegram. This system is not just a restart script; it is a persistent learning engine that documents symptoms, causes, and solutions to build a knowledge base for future incident prevention.

Installation

Installation is streamlined for macOS environments. First, ensure you have the required utilities installed by running brew install tmux and npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code. Next, configure the environment by copying the template: cp .env.example ~/.openclaw/.env, then populate it with your Discord webhook and gateway settings. Install the core scripts by moving them to your script directory and ensuring they are executable (chmod +x). Finally, activate the system using the provided LaunchAgent: cp launchagent/com.openclaw.healthcheck.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ followed by launchctl load. Verify the installation by checking launchctl list | grep openclaw.healthcheck.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for production environments where OpenClaw Gateway downtime must be minimized. It is particularly useful for headless servers, automated trading bots, or AI-agent clusters where manual intervention is slow or impossible. By leveraging Claude Code, it can resolve complex configuration drifts or dependency errors that standard bash scripts would fail to catch. It serves as an insurance policy for high-uptime AI operations.

Example Prompts

  1. "Analyze the last recovery log and summarize why the gateway crashed yesterday."
  2. "Update the self-healing thresholds to wait 500 seconds instead of 300 before triggering a restart."
  3. "Show me the metrics dashboard for the last 7 days of gateway uptime and recovery success."

Tips & Limitations

Always create a backup of your primary configuration (openclaw.json) before testing the Level 3 recovery flows. While Claude Code is highly capable, remember that granting AI autonomous shell access requires careful monitoring of the reasoning logs. Regularly audit the logs in ~/openclaw/memory/ to ensure the AI's diagnostic patterns align with your infrastructure standards.
