Oz CLI Remote Node

Execute commands or tasks on the Oz Build Node via CLI, with mode-based control and direct bash command support on the remote node.

oz

Description

This skill implements the /oz slash command and acts as a proxy to the oz-cli on a remote node. Use this skill ONLY when the user activates Oz mode with /oz or explicitly asks to use Oz/Warp.

Onboarding & Setup (First-Time Use)

When a user first installs or attempts to use this skill, guide them through the setup process:

1. Explain the Purpose: Let the user know this skill allows them to run the oz CLI on a remote node via the Gateway, acting as a proxy.
2. Determine the Remote Node: Ask the user for the exact name of the remote node where oz-cli is installed (e.g., "Build Node"). Save this node name into your workspace's TOOLS.md or a local memory file so you remember it for all future uses.
3. Verify Tool Permissions: Verify that you (the agent) have the nodes tool enabled. If not, instruct the user to grant it (e.g., openclaw config set agents.list[<your-index>].tools.allow '["nodes"]') and restart the gateway.
4. Sandbox Detection: Check if you are currently running in a Docker sandbox (e.g., by checking if /.dockerenv exists or using cat /proc/1/cgroup). If you are in a sandbox, inform the user that local oz execution is impossible without a custom developer image.
5. Select Agent Profile: Once the remote node is known, execute oz agent profile list --output-format json on that node using the nodes tool.
   • Note: Ignore standard error warnings (like libEGL warning) and parse the JSON array (e.g., [{"id":"Unsynced","name":"Default"},{"id":"...","name":"Claude"}]).
   • Show the user the list of profile names and ask which one they want to use.
   • Save the selected profile's id (not the name) to your memory alongside the node name.

State Memory (Oz Mode)

• If the user types /oz, you MUST reply with a clear confirmation: "✅ Oz mode is now ACTIVE. All messages will be sent to the Oz CLI on the remote node. Type /oz off to exit, or use ! <command> to run a direct bash command."
• If the user types /oz off, you MUST reply: "❌ Oz mode is now OFF. Returning to normal assistant behavior."
• While in Oz mode, treat EVERY subsequent message from the user as a prompt for the oz CLI on the remote node, UNLESS the message starts with !.

Execution on Remote Node

You must use the nodes tool with action="run" and node="<Saved_Node_Name>" for all execution here. Do NOT use local exec.

1. Direct Bash Commands (!):

   • If the user message starts with ! (e.g. ! ls -la or ! mkdir test):
   • Strip the ! and run it as a direct shell command on the remote node using the nodes tool.
   • Command array format: ["bash", "-c", "<command>"]
   • Use cwd: ~/git (or the last known working directory if changed).
   • Report the output directly.

2. Oz CLI Prompts & Run Tracking:

   • CRITICAL: ALWAYS use oz agent run. NEVER use oz agent run-cloud.
   • Run the oz CLI on the remote node using the nodes tool.
   • Command array format MUST include the saved profile id: ["oz", "agent", "run", "--cwd", "~/git", "--profile", "<Saved_Profile_ID>", "--prompt", "<user_prompt>"]
   • Run Tracking: When you start an oz agent run, you MUST keep track of it:
     1. Monitor the initial output to capture the unique Run ID and the "Open in Oz URL".
     2. Create a tracking file in your workspace named oz_run.<id>.md.
     3. Include in this file: Date, Time, Run ID, the Original Prompt, the Open in Oz URL, and any other relevant metadata.
     4. Keep track of the oz commands that are currently running.
   • Completion: Once the oz agent run command is done, update the tracking file and send a response back to the user formatted EXACTLY like this:

     text

     oz agent for run ID: <id> done.
     
     <the response from the oz agent>
     

Supported oz agent run Flags

You can append these flags to the oz agent run command if explicitly requested by the user:

• --cwd <PATH> (-C): run from a different directory.
• --name <NAME> (-n): label the run for grouping and traceability.
• --share: share the session with teammates.
• --profile <ID>: use a specific agent profile (defaults to the saved ID if not specified).
• --model <MODEL_ID>: override the default model.
• --skill <SPEC>: use a skill as the base prompt.
• --mcp <SPEC>: start one or more MCP servers (UUID, JSON path, or inline JSON). Can be repeated.
• --environment <ID> (-e): run in a specific cloud environment.
• --file <PATH> (-f): load run configuration from a YAML or JSON file.
