OpenClaw Encyclopedia

Overview

Use a docs-first workflow for OpenClaw work. Prefer the official OpenClaw documentation at https://docs.openclaw.ai/, consult cached local copies under .OpenClaw-Encyclopedia/ before re-fetching, and record useful official-doc excerpts plus environment-specific operational learnings so future work gets faster and safer.

This skill is for OpenClaw product/runtime/config semantics. It should trigger for real OpenClaw behavior, configuration, and operational questions — not for generic agent-writing, generic prompt design, or generic host-admin work that just happens to be happening on an OpenClaw machine.

Workflow

1. Classify the task
   • Decide whether the task is an OpenClaw question, troubleshooting task, command-planning task, config review, automation/design task, or live operational task.
   • Use this skill when the request is specifically about OpenClaw product behavior, configuration, commands, session/channel/node behavior, automation, pairings, or skill loading/configuration.
   • Do not use this skill for generic skill-writing, generic prompt/instruction design, generic markdown/config editing, or generic Linux/systemd admin unless the question is specifically about OpenClaw behavior.
