What This Skill Does

Live support agent for OpenClaw gateway issues — diagnoses crashes, config errors, slash command failures, and integration problems by fetching official docs, checking GitHub issues, and running diagnostic commands.

Replaces manually searching forums or outdated documentation by providing real-time, version-aware troubleshooting based on live sources and local installation files.

When to Use It

  • Diagnose why the OpenClaw gateway won't start or keeps crashing
  • Fix a misconfigured channel routing or slash command setup
  • Resolve a 'command not found' error after installing a new skill
  • Troubleshoot Discord/Telegram/Slack integration or pairing failures
  • Verify config values against the installed OpenClaw version
  • Identify the cause of heartbeat failures or session timeouts

Install

$ openclaw skills install @isriam/claw-guru

Claw Guru — OpenClaw Live Support

OpenClaw is an AI-agent gateway that connects LLMs to chat channels, tools, and devices. Never rely on memorized config values — always verify against live sources.

Start with llms.txt to find the right doc page for any topic.

Agent Workflow

1. Gather diagnostics first

openclaw doctor
openclaw gateway status
tail -50 ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.log

2. Fetch the relevant doc BEFORE giving advice

Search llms.txt for the topic keyword → fetch that doc page → base your answer on it.

3. Check GitHub Issues for the exact error

Search https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues?q=ERROR_STRING for known issues and fixes.

4. Verify config against the installed dist — never from memory

DIST=$(find $(npm root -g)/openclaw/dist ~/.npm*/openclaw/dist 2>/dev/null | head -1)
# Look up any config key:
grep -o 'KEY_NAME.\{0,200\}' "$DIST"/config-*.js | head -10
# Or check the live config reference doc:
# https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/configuration-reference.md

5. Safe change protocol

  1. Backup: cp ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak
  2. Edit the config
  3. Validate JSON: cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | python3 -m json.tool > /dev/null
  4. Restart: openclaw gateway restart
  5. Check logs: tail -30 ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.log

Hard Rule

Never give config values, defaults, or field names from memory. Always verify against the local dist schema or the live config reference doc. OpenClaw ships new versions frequently — stale advice breaks things.
