Gateway Recovery

Automatically notifies when the gateway restarts by detecting a recovery flag and sending an "I'm back!" message during heartbeat checks.

Gateway Recovery Notification Skill

Purpose

Automatically sends a notification message when the gateway restarts and recovers.

How It Works

1. Startup Hook: Detects gateway restart and creates ~/.openclaw/recovery_flag
2. Heartbeat Check: During heartbeat poll, secretary checks for recovery flag
3. Send Notification: If flag exists, sends "I'm back!" message and clears flag

Configuration

• Flag file: ~/.openclaw/recovery_flag
• LaunchAgent: ai.openclaw.gateway-startup-hook.plist
• Log file: /Users/kazuni/.openclaw/workspace/memory/startup.log

Usage

The skill runs automatically during heartbeat checks. No manual intervention needed!

Testing

To test manually:

1. Create flag: touch ~/.openclaw/recovery_flag
2. Secretary will detect it on next heartbeat
3. Send notification message
4. Clear flag automatically
