SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of not having a single, actionable reference for deploying, configuring, and operating OpenClaw end-to-end, including security and multi-agent/channel setups.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture & components: Gateway, sessions, agents, tools, cron, skills, and channel/provider layout so you can reason about how the system works.
  • Install & deployment: Guided setup for Linux/macOS and AWS Lightsail, including onboarding and operational checks.
  • Configuration & operation: Workspace files, channel setup (22 channels), tools usage conventions, skills system rules, and troubleshooting patterns.
  • Security & hardening: Trust model, DM policy guidance, sandbox principles, auth/token hygiene, and incident-response steps.
  • Multi-agent & automation: Sub-agent patterns, routing/access profiles, and automation via cron/webhooks/hooks plus playbooks.

Quick Start

Ask for an OpenClaw deployment plan by saying: "Create a secure OpenClaw setup for Linux with strict DM pairing, workspace hardening, and a multi-agent config for a support bot—include the exact files and settings to verify."

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a self-hosted AI assistant gateway on Linux or AWS Lightsail?

To deploy a self-hosted AI assistant gateway on Linux or AWS Lightsail, you need a guided setup process that configures workspace files, operational checks, and onboarding. This establishes the core gateway, sessions, and provider layout for your environment.

What is the best way to configure multi-agent routing and channel setup for an AI gateway?

Configuring multi-agent routing and channel setup for an AI gateway involves defining sub-agent patterns, routing access profiles, and connecting up to 22 distinct channels. This architecture allows specialized agents to handle specific tasks and interactions across various platforms.

How do I apply security hardening and token hygiene for a self-hosted AI gateway?

Security hardening for a self-hosted AI gateway requires applying sandbox principles, enforcing strict DM pairing policies, and maintaining auth/token hygiene. It also involves defining a trust model and establishing incident-response steps for operational security.

Can I use cron and webhooks to automate tasks and skills in a multi-agent AI setup?

Yes, you can automate tasks and skills in a multi-agent AI setup using cron, webhooks, and hooks. This automation framework executes scheduled playbooks and triggers tool usage conventions without manual intervention, streamlining workflows.

Does OpenClaw support troubleshooting workflows for misconfigured channels or agent routing?

Yes, OpenClaw supports troubleshooting workflows for misconfigured channels or agent routing through predefined patterns. It provides operational checks and references local documentation to diagnose and resolve issues within the gateway and multi-agent architecture.
