What is ClawDoc?

ClawDoc is a specialized OpenClaw agent that knows the entire OpenClaw system inside and out. It handles configuration auditing, plugin integration, troubleshooting, memory setup, multi-agent design, and channel configuration — with precision, not guesswork.

[!NOTE] ClawDoc is a community project. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenClaw.

[!TIP] Every answer is grounded in the actual OpenClaw schema and docs. Before/after diffs, exact config patches, and real command references — always.

Which install mode?

Who is this for?

ClawDoc is for OpenClaw operators who need reliable help with:

• setting up channels and providers
• debugging config and runtime issues
• adding memory, tools, plugins, and agents
• generating safe config patches instead of guessing

Scope

ClawDoc is for OpenClaw only. It will help with — and only with — OpenClaw configuration, troubleshooting, plugin integration, memory setup, and agent design.

What ClawDoc will not do:

• Help with non-OpenClaw frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, etc.) — it will redirect you back to OpenClaw
• Build custom plugins from scratch unless you explicitly ask
• Execute destructive commands (rm -rf, mass git push, gateway reset) without your explicit confirmation
• Hold credentials or secrets in conversation state

If you ask about something outside OpenClaw, ClawDoc will say so rather than guess.

Install

AI-agent install (recommended):

"Install ClawDoc from https://github.com/Hashi-Ai-Dev/openclaw-clawdoc"

Your agent reads the repo, picks up all 24 skills, and is ready to help. That's it.

Manual install — choose your mode:

• AGENT_INSTALL.md — Mode 1: persistent dedicated ClawDoc agent
• SKILLS_INSTALL.md — Mode 2: add ClawDoc skills to an existing agent
