name	openclaw-admin
description	Manage and inspect the OpenClaw multi-agent gateway — list agents, check model health, view routing rules, manage crons, inspect context budgets, and run system diagnostics.

OpenClaw Admin — Gateway Management Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• List or inspect active agents and their models
• Check which Ollama models are running
• View or modify routing rules, crons, or triggers
• Inspect context budget allocations
• Run gateway health diagnostics
• Hot-reload the gateway after config changes

Config File Locations

File	Purpose
../openclaw.json	Master gateway config (agents, channels, scheduler, tools)
config/ROUTING.json	Deterministic keyword → agent routing
config/CRONS.json	Scheduled jobs (heartbeat, reports)
config/TRIGGERS.json	Webhook-triggered actions
config/CONTEXT_BUDGETS.json	Token budgets per model
config/agents/*.md	Agent prompt files

Commands

List All OpenClaw Agents

cat ../openclaw.json | python3 -c "
import json, sys
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
agents = data.get('agents', {})
print(f'{'ID':<20} {'Role':<35} {'Model':<45} {'Provider':<12} {'Enabled'}')
print('-' * 130)
for aid, a in agents.items():
    enabled = '❌' if a.get('enabled') == False else '✅'
    print(f'{aid:<20} {a.get(\"role\",\"\"):<35} {a.get(\"model\",\"\"):<45} {a.get(\"provider\",\"\"):<12} {enabled}')
print(f'\nTotal: {len(agents)} agents')

Check Ollama Models Running

ollama list 2>/dev/null || echo "Ollama not running"

List Active Crons

cat config/CRONS.json | python3 -c "
import json, sys
crons = json.load(sys.stdin)
print(f'{'Name':<30} {'Schedule':<20} {'Enabled'}')
print('-' * 60)
for c in crons:
    enabled = '✅' if c.get('enabled', False) else '❌'
    print(f'{c[\"name\"]:<30} {c[\"schedule\"]:<20} {enabled}')
"

List Routing Rules

cat config/ROUTING.json | python3 -c "
import json, sys
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
routes = data.get('routes', [])
print(f'{'Route':<25} {'Primary Agent':<20} {'Keywords (first 5)'}')
print('-' * 80)
for r in routes:
    name = r.get('name', '')
    primary = r.get('agents', [''])[0] if r.get('agents') else ''
    keywords = ', '.join(r.get('keywords', [])[:5])
    print(f'{name:<25} {primary:<20} {keywords}')
print(f'\nTotal: {len(routes)} routes')
chains = data.get('chains', [])
if chains:
    print(f'\nChains: {len(chains)}')
    for c in chains:
        steps = ' → '.join(c.get('steps', []))
        print(f'  {c[\"name\"]}: {steps}')
"

View Context Budgets

cat config/CONTEXT_BUDGETS.json | python3 -c "
import json, sys
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
models = data.get('models', {})
print(f'{'Model':<50} {'Window':<12} {'Budget':<10} {'Slot'}')
print('-' * 100)
for m, v in models.items():
    print(f'{m:<50} {v[\"context_window\"]:<12} {v[\"budget\"]:<10} {v.get(\"_slot\",\"\")}')
"

List Active Triggers

cat config/TRIGGERS.json | python3 -c "
import json, sys
triggers = json.load(sys.stdin)
print(f'{'Name':<25} {'Watch Path':<20} {'Enabled'}')
print('-' * 55)
for t in triggers:
    enabled = '✅' if t.get('enabled', False) else '❌'
    print(f'{t[\"name\"]:<25} {t.get(\"watch_path\",\"\"):<20} {enabled}')
"

Gateway Health Check (Full)

bash ./status.sh

Check Scheduled Jobs in openclaw.json

cat ../openclaw.json | python3 -c "
import json, sys
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
jobs = data.get('plugins', {}).get('scheduler', {}).get('jobs', [])
print(f'{'Name':<30} {'Cron':<18} {'Timezone':<18} {'Enabled'}')
print('-' * 80)
for j in jobs:
    enabled = '❌' if j.get('enabled') == False else '✅'
    print(f'{j[\"name\"]:<30} {j[\"cron\"]:<18} {j.get(\"timezone\",\"\"):<18} {enabled}')
print(f'\nTotal: {len(jobs)} scheduled jobs')

Rules

• Always use python3 -c for JSON parsing — never use jq (not guaranteed installed).
• All config paths are relative to the clawdbot/ workspace root.
• openclaw.json is one level up at ../../openclaw.json (relative to skill dir) or ../openclaw.json (relative to workspace).
• Never modify openclaw.json without explicit user approval.
• When reporting agent status, always distinguish between OpenClaw agents and ROUTING.json agents — they are separate systems.
• After any config modification, remind the user to hot-reload: the gateway picks up changes on next request, or restart with npx thepopebot.
