OpenClaw Config

Overview

Safely edit ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (or the path set by OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH) using a schema-first workflow. Validate before and after changes to avoid invalid keys/types that can break startup or change security behavior.

Workflow (Safe Edit)

1. Identify the active config path

• Precedence: OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH > OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/openclaw.json > ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
• The config file is JSON5 (comments + trailing commas allowed).

2. Get an authoritative schema (do not guess keys)
