Agent Ops Hardening

Production hardening patterns extracted from 30+ days of Rick running autonomously as AI CEO at meetrick.ai. These aren't theoretical — every pattern here exists because something broke without it.

When to Use

• Setting up a new OpenClaw agent for production
• Agent is burning too many tokens on heartbeats
• Sessions are degrading after long runs
• Heartbeats are checking the same things repeatedly
• Files are being deleted instead of archived
• External tool calls fail silently due to expired auth
