Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the content: files contain configuration recommendations for channels, agents, gateway, memory, tools, automation and security. Nothing in the bundle asks for unrelated credentials or binaries, and no hidden functionality is present.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the included docs instruct the user to run OpenClaw CLI commands (e.g., `openclaw onboard --install-daemon`, `openclaw doctor`) and to edit config files under ~/.openclaw; those are appropriate for a setup guide. The docs also include placeholders and examples referencing many environment variables/tokens (GATEWAY_TOKEN, TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.). The skill does not itself read or exfiltrate anything, but running the recommended commands or applying suggested settings (daemon install, gateway binding, enabling exec full access) will change system state and can expose services if misconfigured — the docs sometimes recommend insecure options in certain sections (e.g., `exec.security:

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.

First Setup Checklist

Before any config, run:

openclaw onboard --install-daemon  # Full wizard
openclaw doctor                    # Check issues

Minimum viable config:

  • At least one channel connected (Telegram recommended for testing)
  • Model configured (Anthropic Claude or OpenAI)
  • Workspace path set (agents.defaults.workspace)
  • Owner allowlist configured (your user ID in channels.*.allowFrom)

Config Locations

FilePurpose
~/.openclaw/openclaw.jsonMain config
~/.openclaw/.envEnvironment variables
~/.openclaw/workspace/Default workspace
~/.openclaw/sessions/Session storage

Hot reload: Most settings apply instantly. Gateway settings (port, TLS) require restart.


Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Open DM policy without allowlist → Anyone can message your bot
  2. No auth token on remote gateway → Exposed to internet
  3. Model without fallbacks → Single point of failure
  4. Heartbeat without delivery target → Lost proactive messages
  5. exec.security: "full" in groups → Dangerous command access

When You're Done

openclaw doctor       # Verify config
openclaw status       # Check runtime
openclaw health       # Gateway health
