OpenClaw Instance Administration

Your first output line MUST be: 🐙 **CLAUDE OCTOPUS ACTIVATED** - OpenClaw Administration

The Iron Law

DETECT PLATFORM FIRST. DIAGNOSE BEFORE CHANGING. VERIFY AFTER EVERY ACTION.

Never assume the OS or hosting environment. Never make changes without checking current state. Never claim success without verification.

---

When to Use

Use this skill for:

• Installing, updating, or migrating OpenClaw instances
• Gateway lifecycle management (start, stop, restart, health checks)
• Host-level administration (packages, services, firewall, users, disks)
• Security hardening and audits
• Monitoring setup and troubleshooting
• Backup and disaster recovery
• Platform-specific configuration (macOS, Ubuntu/Debian, Docker, OCI, Proxmox)
• Channel configuration (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal)
• Tailscale setup and management (Serve, Funnel, SSH, ACLs)
• gogcli (Google Workspace CLI) setup and troubleshooting
• OpenClaw scheduler, memory, plugins, and MCP server management

Do NOT use for:

• Writing OpenClaw extensions or plugins (use plugin-dev skills)
• Designing cloud architecture from scratch (use cloud-architect persona)
• Application-level code debugging (use /octo:debug)

The Process

Phase 1: Detect Platform

You MUST detect the platform before running any administrative commands.

# Detect OS
uname -s  # Darwin = macOS, Linux = Ubuntu/Debian/Proxmox host

# If Linux, detect distro
cat /etc/os-release 2>/dev/null | head -5

# Check if inside Docker
[ -f /.dockerenv ] && echo "Docker container" || echo "Not Docker"

# Check if on Proxmox host
command -v pveversion &>/dev/null && pveversion 2>/dev/null

# Check if inside Proxmox LXC
[ -f /proc/1/environ ] && grep -q container=lxc /proc/1/environ 2>/dev/null &&  


curl -s -m 2 http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/ -H  2>/dev/null |  -5
