OpenClaw Cheatsheet

Primary reference: references/openclaw-cheatsheet.md

When to invoke

  • User asks for an OpenClaw command, flag list, or usage example.
  • User asks how to send messages, manage cron jobs, configure channels/models, run the gateway, etc.
  • Before any operational change (config set, gateway restart, cron add/edit, channels add/remove, models set, hooks install/enable).
  • User says "check the cheatsheet" or asks "what flags does X have?"

Rules

  1. Always read references/openclaw-cheatsheet.md before answering CLI questions — never guess flags.
  2. If the cheatsheet doesn't cover a flag, verify with openclaw <command> --help.
  3. Never run destructive or state-changing commands (config set, gateway restart, cron rm, channels remove, reset, uninstall) without confirming with the user first.
  4. Keep answers concise — surface only the sections relevant to the request.

Response pattern

  1. Pull the relevant section(s) from the cheatsheet.
  2. Provide 1-3 copy-paste-ready examples tailored to the user's context.
  3. For dangerous operations (restart, update, config change, delete, uninstall), include a warning line before the command.
  4. If the user is new, add a one-line explanation of what each flag does.
