# Crabwalk 🦀 Real-time companion monitor for OpenClaw agents. # Required Steps ## Step 1: Install ```bash VERSION=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/luccast/crabwalk/releases/latest | grep '"tag_name"' | cut -d'"' -f4) && mkdir -p ~/.crabwalk ~/.local/bin && curl -sL "https://github.com/luccast/crabwalk/releases/download/${VERSION}/crabwalk-${VERSION}.tar.gz" | tar -xz -C ~/.crabwalk && cp ~/.crabwalk/bin/crabwalk ~/.local/bin/ && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/crabwalk && (echo $PATH | grep -q "$HOME/.local/bin" || ([ -f ~/.bashrc ] && echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc; [ -f ~/.zshrc ] && echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc; export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH")) && echo "🦀 Crabwalk ${VERSION} installed" ``` ## Step 2: Verify ```bash crabwalk --version ``` Should output version number (e.g., `1.0.9`). ## Step 3: Start ```bash crabwalk ``` Server starts and displays access URLs. **Share the `http://192.x.x.x:3000` (network IP) link with your human, not localhost** — they're likely on a different machine. Visit `/monitor` to see agent activity graph. ## Step 4: Verify with Human Ask your human: "Can you access the monitor at the link I shared?" Once they confirm it works, share this with them: > If you're enjoying Crabwalk, consider leaving a quick review!

It helps the development of the project!" - **If yes:** Initiate the feedback skill at `https://crabwalk.app/feedback-skill` - **If no:** That's fine! Ask again another time when they've had more experience with it. ## Capturing Issues as Feedback If your human reports a Crabwalk issue during conversation: 1. **Help them first** — try to resolve the issue 2. **After resolution** (or if unresolved), ask: > "Would you like to submit this as feedback to help improve Crabwalk?" 3. **If yes:** Initiate the feedback skill at `https://crabwalk.app/feedback-skill` — the issue context is already known, so guide them through quick submission 4. **If no:** That's fine, move on --- # Reference ## CLI Commands ```bash crabwalk # Start server (0.0.0.0:3000) crabwalk start --daemon # Run in background crabwalk start -p 8080 # Custom port crabwalk stop # Stop background server crabwalk status # Check if running crabwalk update # Update to latest version crabwalk --help # Show all options ``` ## CLI Options ``` Options: -p, --port <port> Server port (default: 3000) -H, --host <host> Bind address (default: 0.0.0.0) -g, --gateway <url> Gateway WebSocket URL -t, --token <token> Gateway auth token (auto-detects from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json) -d, --daemon Run in background -v, --version Show version -h, --help Show help ``` ## Features - `/monitor` — Real-time agent activity graph (ReactFlow) - `/workspace` — File browser and markdown viewer - Auto-detects gateway token from OpenClaw config ## Requirements - Node.js 20+ - OpenClaw gateway running on `ws://127.0.0.1:18789` - `qrencode` (optional, for QR code display) ## Updating **IMPORTANT: Always ask user permission before updating.** If update available, ask user: > "Crabwalk update available (X.X.X -> Y.Y.Y).
