Chats Share

chats-share

Share OpenClaw conversations as public web pages.

When to Use

• User wants to share a conversation externally
• User wants to export conversation history for docs

Config

Project dir: Where create-openclaw-chats-share was run

• OpenClaw: Read from ~/.openclaw/workspace/TOOLS.md
• Other agents: Pass as argument

site: Read site URL from {projectDir}/chats-share.toml

outputDir: {projectDir}/chats/ (convention, not config)

Steps

1. Pre-check: Check if a chats-share project dir is configured in TOOLS.md
   • Read ~/.openclaw/workspace/TOOLS.md
   • If no project directory found → Run first-time setup (see "First Time Setup" section below)
2. Load project dir (from TOOLS.md or arguments)
3. Load site URL from {projectDir}/chats-share.toml (use as base for output URL)
4. Find session:
   • List all sessions: ls -t ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/*.jsonl
   • Filter by:
     • sessionId=xxx → grep exact ID
     • topic=xxx → grep topic keyword in content
     • current → use most recent (first line after ls -t)
   • Show candidates to user for confirmation
5. Parse to temp: openclaw-chats-share parse {session} -o {projectDir}/chats/.tmp/{timestamp}.md
6. Digest summary from parsed file, suggest topic name based on content (e.g. "How to use OpenClaw with Python")
7. Confirm participants: Read the auto-generated participants frontmatter from the temp file. Show the current entries and ask the user if they want to customize the display names (e.g. rename user to their real name, or assistant to the agent's display name). Update the frontmatter in-place if the user provides new names — keep all other fields (role, model) unchanged.
8. Confirm with user: show preview, ask to confirm or modify topic name
9. Rename: mv {temp} {projectDir}/chats/{YYYYMMDD}-{topic}.md
10. Redact sensitive info (e.g.: API keys, tokens, paths, emails, IPs) (see "Redact" section below)
11. Confirm with user before commit: git add {projectDir}/chats/{topic}.md && git commit -m "docs: add {topic}"
12. Confirm with user before push: git push

First Time Setup

Run once to initialize project:

create-openclaw-chats-share

This sets up the project structure.

After setup, register project in TOOLS.md:

# Append to ~/.openclaw/workspace/TOOLS.md
echo -e "\n## chats-share\n\n- Project: {projectDir}\n" >> ~/.openclaw/workspace/TOOLS.md

Redact

When sharing publicly, review and redact:

• API keys, tokens, passwords
• File paths with usernames (/Users/xxx → ~)
• Email addresses, phone numbers
• Internal URLs and private IPs

Output

• File: {projectDir}/chats/{YYYYMMDD}-{topic}.md
• URL: {site}/share/{slug}
