Usage

Quick Cleanup (Keep Current Session)

# 1. List all sessions
openclaw sessions list

# 2. Stop Gateway
pkill -9 -f "openclaw-gateway"

# 3. Clean sessions.json (Python script)
python3 ~/clawd/skills/session-cleaner/scripts/clean_sessions.py

# 4. Restart Gateway
openclaw gateway start

Full Reset (Including Current Session)

# User should send: /new
# Then run the cleanup above

Manual Steps

Step 1: Check Current Sessions

openclaw sessions list

Step 2: Stop Gateway (kills all session processes)

pkill -9 -f "openclaw-gateway"

Step 3: Clean Session Registry

python3 ~/clawd/skills/session-cleaner/scripts/clean_sessions.py

Step 4: Restart Gateway

openclaw gateway start

Step 5: Clear Current Context (User Action)

Tell user to send: /new or /reset

Important Notes

1. Always backup sessions.json before cleaning
2. Current session is preserved by default (agent:main:main)
3. Sub-agents, cron jobs, group chats are all cleaned
4. Gateway restart is required to fully clear memory
5. Context reset (/new) is a separate user action

Safety Checklist

• Backup sessions.json
• Confirm with user before destructive operations
• Preserve current session unless user says "clear everything"
• Restart Gateway after cleaning
• Instruct user to send /new for context reset

Examples

Example 1: Clean all other sessions

User: "关掉所有子agent"
Agent: "正在清理... [执行 cleanup 脚本]"

Example 2: Full reset

User: "重置所有，包括当前会话"
Agent: "确认？这将清除所有历史。[用户确认后执行]"
