dvcrn OpenClaw Cheatsheet
Primary reference: references/openclaw-cheatsheet.md
When to invoke
- User asks for an OpenClaw command, flag list, or usage example.
- User asks how to send messages, manage cron jobs, configure channels/models, run the gateway, etc.
- Before any operational change (
config set,gateway restart,cron add/edit,channels add/remove,models set,hooks install/enable). - User says "check the cheatsheet" or asks "what flags does X have?"
Rules
- Always read
references/openclaw-cheatsheet.mdbefore answering CLI questions — never guess flags. - If the cheatsheet doesn't cover a flag, verify with
openclaw <command> --help. - Never run destructive or state-changing commands (
config set,gateway restart,cron rm,channels remove,reset,uninstall) without confirming with the user first. - Keep answers concise — surface only the sections relevant to the request.
Response pattern
- Pull the relevant section(s) from the cheatsheet.
- Provide 1-3 copy-paste-ready examples tailored to the user's context.
- For dangerous operations (restart, update, config change, delete, uninstall), include a warning line before the command.
- If the user is new, add a one-line explanation of what each flag does.
