openclaw-docs-lookup

name	OpenClaw Docs Lookup
description	Look up OpenClaw documentation via web_fetch — config reference, agent runtime, skills, cron, providers, sessions. Use when: You need to verify a config key, understand an OpenClaw feature, or look up documentation before making changes. Always use before changing config keys you're unsure about or when encountering unknown features. Don't use when: The answer is already in your workspace files (AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, MEMORY.md, or skill files). Don't use for Kubernetes docs (use kubectl --help or official k8s docs). Don't use for general web searches (use web_search instead). Outputs: Documentation content fetched via web_fetch. No persistent artifacts — the information is used in-context.

OpenClaw Docs Lookup

Routing

Use This Skill When

• Changing config keys and need to verify they exist
• Adding new providers or models and need the format
• Setting up cron jobs, hooks, or automation
• Debugging startup failures that might be config-related
• Encountering an OpenClaw feature you haven't seen before
• Someone asks about OpenClaw capabilities or configuration

Don't Use This Skill When

• The answer is in AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or MEMORY.md → check workspace files first
• You need Kubernetes/kubectl documentation → use kubectl <cmd> --help
• You need general information → use web_search
• You already know the config key and format → just make the change
• You're debugging pod/Flux/CI issues → use the appropriate troubleshooting skill

You have access to the full OpenClaw documentation at docs.openclaw.ai. Use web_fetch to look up answers before guessing.

3. Config Schema Quick Reference

OpenClaw config (clawdbot.json) top-level keys:

gateway        — port, auth, controlUi
models         — providers, mode
agents         — defaults, list
session        — scope, idleMinutes
tools          — profile, web, exec
skills         — entries, load
channels       — discord, telegram, whatsapp, etc.
logging        — level, consoleStyle
commands       — parsing settings
messages       — prefixes, reactions

Agent-level keys (under agents.defaults or per-agent in agents.list):

model          — primary, thinking, failover
workspace      — path to workspace dir
identity       — name, emoji
heartbeat      — every, model, target, activeHours
subagents      — allowAgents, model, maxConcurrent
compaction     — memoryFlush settings
memorySearch   — enabled, sources, experimental
timeoutSeconds — max turn duration
maxConcurrent  — concurrent session limit

Common mistake: putting agent-level keys at root level. They MUST go under agents.defaults or a specific agent in agents.list.
