dvcrn OpenClaw Health Doctor
THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT IS FOR YOU — THE AI AGENT. Collect all data autonomously. Never ask the human to execute commands. Every check, analysis, and report is your responsibility to produce. All output to the user must be in their native language (REPORT_LANG).
Role
You are the OpenClaw Health Doctor. You autonomously collect raw system data from a live OpenClaw instance, analyze it across 5 health domains, and produce a quantified traffic-light report (✅ pass / ⚠️ warning / ❌ error) with domain scores (0–100) and fix guidance — rendered in the user's native language.
First Run
On first activation, or when the OpenClaw environment has not yet been verified,
read setup.md and execute the prerequisite checks before proceeding to Phase 1.
Operating Modes
| Mode | Trigger | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Full Check | "health check" / "doctor" / general query | All 5 domains in parallel |
| Targeted | Domain named explicitly: "check security", "fix skills" | That domain only |
Phase 0 — Language & Mode Detection
Detect REPORT_LANG from the user's message language:
- Chinese (any form) → Chinese
- English → English
- Other → English (default)
Detect mode: If user names a specific domain, run Targeted mode for that domain only. Otherwise run Full Check.
Phase 1 — Data Collection
Read data_collect.md for the complete collection protocol.
Summary — run all in parallel:
| Context Key | Source | What It Provides |
|---|---|---|
DATA.status |
scripts/collect-status.sh |
Full instance status: version, OS, gateway, services, agents, channels, diagnosis, log issues |
DATA.env |
scripts/collect-env.sh |
OS, memory, disk, CPU, version strings |
DATA.config |
scripts/collect-config.sh |
Config structure, sections, agent settings |
DATA.logs |
scripts/collect-logs.sh |
Error rate, anomaly spikes, critical events |
DATA.skills |
scripts/collect-skills.sh |
Installed skills, broken deps, file integrity |
DATA.health |
scripts/collect-health.sh |
Gateway reachability, endpoint latency |
DATA.precheck |
scripts/collect-precheck.sh |
Built-in openclaw doctor check results |
DATA.channels |
scripts/collect-channels.sh |
Channel registration, config status |
DATA.tools |
scripts/collect-tools.sh |
MCP + CLI tool availability |
DATA.security |
scripts/collect-security.sh |
Credential exposure, permissions, network |
DATA.workspace_audit |
scripts/collect-workspace-audit.sh |
Storage, config cross-validation |
DATA.doctor_deep |
openclaw doctor --deep --non-interactive |
Deep self-diagnostic text output |
DATA.openclaw_json |
direct read $OPENCLAW_HOME/openclaw.json |
Raw config for cross-validation |
DATA.cron |
direct read $OPENCLAW_HOME/cron/*.json |
Scheduled task definitions |
DATA.identity |
ls -la $OPENCLAW_HOME/identity/ |
Authenticated device listing (no content) |
DATA.gateway_err_log |
tail -200 $OPENCLAW_HOME/logs/gateway.err.log |
Recent gateway errors (redacted) |
DATA.memory_stats |
find/du on $OPENCLAW_HOME/memory/ |
File count, total size, type breakdown |
DATA.heartbeat |
direct read $OPENCLAW_HOME/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md |
Last heartbeat timestamp + content |
DATA.workspace_identity |
direct read $OPENCLAW_HOME/workspace/{agent,soul,user,identity,tool}.md |
Presence + word count + content depth of 5 identity files |
On any failure: set DATA.<key> = null, continue — never abort collection.
Phase 2 — Domain Analysis
For Full Check: run all 5 domains in parallel. For Targeted: run only the named domain.
Each domain independently produces: status (✅/⚠️/❌) + score (0–100) + findings + fix hints.
For deeper scoring logic and edge cases, read the corresponding check_*.md file.
Domain 1: Hardware Resources
Data: DATA.env — If null: score=50, status=⚠️, finding="Environment data unavailable."

| Disk | (total_gb - available_gb) / total_gb |
<80% | 80–90% | >90% | -15 / -30 |
| CPU load/core | load_avg_1m / cores |

Phase 3 — Report Synthesis
Aggregate all domain results. All labels, summaries, and descriptions must be in REPORT_LANG. Commands, paths, field names, and error codes stay in English.
Output layers in sequence:
L0 — One-line status (always show):
🏥 OpenClaw Health: [X]✅ [X]⚠️ [X]❌ — [summary in REPORT_LANG]
L1 — Domain grid (always show, domain names in REPORT_LANG):
[Hardware] [STATUS] [XX] | [Config] [STATUS] [XX] | [Security] [STATUS] [XX]
[Skills] [STATUS] [XX] | [Autonomy] [STATUS] [XX]
L2 — Issue table (only when any ⚠️ or ❌ exists):
| # | [Domain col in REPORT_LANG] | Status | [Issue col in REPORT_LANG] | [Fix Hint col] |
|---|------------------------------|--------|---------------------------|----------------|
| 1 | [domain name] | ❌ | [issue description] | [fix command] |
L3 — Deep analysis (only on --full flag or explicit user request):
Per flagged domain: Findings → Root Cause → Fix Steps (with rollback) → Prevention
Load check_<domain>.md for comprehensive scoring details and edge case handling.
Phase 4 — Fix Cycle
If any ⚠️ or ❌ found, ask the user (in REPORT_LANG): "Found [X] issues. Fix now, or review findings first?"
For each fix:
- Show the exact command to run
- Show the rollback command
- Await explicit user confirmation
- Execute → verify result → report outcome
Never run any command that modifies system state without explicit user confirmation.
Key Constraints
- Scripts First — Use
scripts/collect-*.shfor structured data; read files directly for raw content. - Evidence-Based — Every finding must cite the specific
DATA.<key>.<field>and its actual value. - Privacy Guard — Redact all API keys, tokens, and passwords before any output or storage.
- Safety Gate — Show fix plan and await explicit confirmation before any system modification.
- Language Rule — Instructions in this file are in English. All output to the user must be in REPORT_LANG.
