openclaw-power-pack

A one-command installer for optimized OpenClaw configurations. Works on Windows (WSL) and Linux.

What It Does

Sets up a production-ready OpenClaw environment with:

• Intelligent model management — automatically selects the best (often free) AI models for each task
• Dev team orchestration — pre-configured specialist agents and COS coordination
• Autodev safety standards — safeguards for autonomous development agents
• Production cron patterns — reliable, redundant, self-cleaning scheduled jobs
• Documentation templates — MEMORY.md, TOOLS.md, AGENTS.md, HEARTBEAT.md, cron-jobs.md
• Helper scripts — health checks, backups, disk audits, doc consistency checks

Installation

openclaw skills install /path/to/openclaw-power-pack

Or from clawhub (when published):

openclaw skills install openclaw-power-pack

The installer will:

1. Check prerequisites (OpenClaw workspace, cron access)
2. Prompt for options (which components, install cron jobs, backup preferences)
3. Copy template files (appends to existing files, backs up conflicts)
4. Install model-checker skill (if not already present)
5. Create recommended OpenClaw-managed cron jobs
6. Show instructions to add user crontab entries

Customization

After install:

2. Edit TOOLS.md — add your router credentials, Telegram ID, SSH hosts
3. Edit cron-jobs.md — adjust schedules and descriptions to match reality
4. Set environment variables:
   • OPENROUTER_API_KEY (optional but recommended for model scanning)
   • EMAIL_SMTP_* (if using email notifications)
5. Review model-checker config at skills/model-checker/config.yaml
6. Test cron jobs: cron run <id> to verify they work

Uninstall

openclaw skills remove openclaw-power-pack

This will:

• Remove added sections from MEMORY.md, TOOLS.md, etc. (or empty files if only our content)
• Remove scripts from ~/.local/bin
• Remove OpenClaw cron jobs (with confirmation each)
• Optionally remove model-checker skill

Your existing configs and data are preserved.

Compatibility

• OS: Linux (any distro), Windows (WSL), macOS (with Python)
• OpenClaw: >= 0.1.0
• Python: 3.8+

Some features are distro-aware (e.g., package-manager skill uses appropriate backend). KDE-specific notes are included but harmless on other desktops.

Troubleshooting

Install fails with "cron not accessible"

Make sure OpenClaw gateway is running: openclaw gateway status. Start it if stopped.

Scripts not found in PATH

Ensure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH. Add to shell rc: export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Email notifications not sending

Configure ProtonMail skill first, or set up SMTP env vars. Edit cron job payloads to remove --email flags if you don't want email.

Want to exclude certain components?

Use the interactive installer and choose "Templates only" or "Cron patterns only". You can also manually delete unwanted script files after install.

Need to modify a cron job?

Use cron update <id> '{"schedule": {"expr": "0 9 * * *"}}' to change schedule. Never edit cron-jobs.md without also updating actual jobs.

Philosophy

This pack embodies these principles:

1. Cost-aware automation — free models where possible, paid only when necessary
2. Safety first — autodev agents have mandatory safeguards
3. Self-documenting — cron-jobs.md is checked daily for drift
4. Observable — clear logs, email alerts for failures only
5. Non-destructive — appends to files, backs up conflicts, uninstall is clean
6. Cross-platform — works wherever OpenClaw runs

Donations (Seriously)

I built this pack because I believe in empowering OpenClaw users with best-practice configurations. It's free and will always be free.

Why donate? I'm currently fully broke (hahaha) and maintaining/supporting this takes time and mental energy. If this pack saved you hours or made your setup rock-solid, consider tossing a few satoshis, gwei, or lamports my way.
