# OpenClaw Skill

This is the ultimate command center for OpenClaw. It provides instructions and scripts to manage every aspect of the platform, from first installation to advanced multi-agent orchestration.

## 🌟 Core Capabilities
- **Infrastructure**: Native services, Docker Compose, Nix flakes, and rollback management.
- **Connectivity**: Global channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Bot APIs).
- **Intelligence**: OAuth auth for major LLMs, model aliases, and local model scanning.
- **Surface & Hardware**: Mobile Nodes (Camera, Audio, GPS), macOS companion, and Canvas.
- **Advanced Logic**: OpenProse (parallel agents), Sub-agents, and Managed Browser control.

## 🛠️ Unified Command Utility
All operations are handled via the unified script:
`bash scripts/openclaw.sh [command] [args]`

### 1. Setup & Maintenance
- `install`: Install or update the CLI.
- `setup`: Run the onboarding wizard and install the service.
- `doctor`: Comprehensive health and config check.
- `status`: High-level overview of connections and agents.
- `reset`: Full system reset.

### 2. Services & Deployment
- `service {start|stop|restart|logs}`: Manage the background daemon.
- `docker {setup|up|down|logs}`: Manage containerized environments.

### 3. Channels & Authentication
- `channel login [whatsapp|telegram|discord]`: Connect a messaging account.
- `channel list`: View active channel connections.
- `auth {anthropic|openai}`: Manage OAuth provider tokens.
- `pairing`: Manage device authorization for mobile nodes.

### 4. Advanced Interaction
- `browser {start|open|screenshot}`: Playwright-powered browser control.
- `cron {list|add|remove}`: Schedule periodic tasks.
- `plugin {install|enable}`: Manager Gateway extensions.
- `msg [target] [message]`: Send a message from the terminal.

## 📂 Documentation & References
Use these local guides for detailed technical specifics:
- `references/cli-full.md`: Complete list of all CLI commands and sub-commands.
- `references/config-schema.md`: `openclaw.json` structure and environment variables.
- `references/nodes-platforms.md`: Guide for Windows (WSL2), macOS, and Mobile Nodes.

- `references/advanced-tools.md`: OpenProse, Browsers, Plugins, and Sub-agents.
- `references/hubs.md`: Centralized list of online documentation links.

## 💡 Troubleshooting
- **Permission Errors**: Use `sudo` for global installs or check `~/.openclaw` recursive permissions.
- **Connection Lost**: Ensure Node.js >= 22. Use `openclaw.sh service restart` to refresh the gateway.
- **Can't scan QR**: Ensure the gateway port (18789) is accessible via loopback or tunnel.
