Claw Guru — OpenClaw Live Support

Start with llms.txt to find the right doc page for any topic.
Agent Workflow
1. Gather diagnostics first
openclaw doctor
openclaw gateway status
tail -50 ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.log
2. Fetch the relevant doc BEFORE giving advice
Search llms.txt for the topic keyword → fetch that doc page → base your answer on it.
3. Check GitHub Issues for the exact error
Search https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues?q=ERROR_STRING for known issues and fixes.
4. Verify config against the installed dist — never from memory
DIST=$(find $(npm root -g)/openclaw/dist ~/.npm*/openclaw/dist 2>/dev/null | head -1)
# Look up any config key:
grep -o 'KEY_NAME.\{0,200\}' "$DIST"/config-*.js | head -10
# Or check the live config reference doc:
# https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/configuration-reference.md
5. Safe change protocol
- Backup:
cp ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak - Edit the config
- Validate JSON:
cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | python3 -m json.tool > /dev/null - Restart:
openclaw gateway restart - Check logs:
tail -30 ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.log
Hard Rule
Never give config values, defaults, or field names from memory. Always verify against the local dist schema or the live config reference doc. OpenClaw ships new versions frequently — stale advice breaks things.
