OpenClaw Admin — Gateway Management Skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- List or inspect active agents and their models
- Check which Ollama models are running
- View or modify routing rules, crons, or triggers
- Inspect context budget allocations
- Run gateway health diagnostics
- Hot-reload the gateway after config changes
Config File Locations
| File | Purpose |
|---|
../openclaw.json | Master gateway config (agents, channels, scheduler, tools) |
config/ROUTING.json | Deterministic keyword → agent routing |
config/CRONS.json | Scheduled jobs (heartbeat, reports) |
config/TRIGGERS.json | Webhook-triggered actions |
config/CONTEXT_BUDGETS.json | Token budgets per model |
config/agents/*.md | Agent prompt files |
Commands

Rules
- Always use
python3 -c for JSON parsing — never use jq (not guaranteed installed).
- All config paths are relative to the
clawdbot/ workspace root.
openclaw.json is one level up at ../../openclaw.json (relative to skill dir) or ../openclaw.json (relative to workspace).- Never modify
openclaw.json without explicit user approval.
- When reporting agent status, always distinguish between OpenClaw agents and ROUTING.json agents — they are separate systems.
- After any config modification, remind the user to hot-reload: the gateway picks up changes on next request, or restart with
npx thepopebot.
