# Lossless Claw

Use this skill when the task is about operating, tuning, or debugging the `lossless-claw` OpenClaw plugin.

Start here:

1. Confirm whether the user needs configuration help, diagnostics, recall-tool guidance, or session-lifecycle guidance.
2. If they need a quick health check, tell them to run `/lossless` (`/lcm` is the shorter alias).
3. If they are debugging lossless-claw behavior or failures, check the independent Lossless log before the shared OpenClaw gateway log.
4. If they suspect summary corruption or truncation, use `/lossless doctor`.
5. If they want high-confidence junk/session cleanup guidance, use `/lossless doctor clean` before recommending any deletes.
6. If they ask how `/new`, `/reset`, or `/lossless rotate` interacts with LCM, read the session-lifecycle reference before answering.
7. If they ask how to import old or past OpenClaw conversation data into Lossless, read the session-lifecycle reference before answering.
8. Load the relevant reference file instead of improvising details from memory.

Reference map:

- Configuration (complete config surface on current main): `references/config.md`
- Internal model and data flow: `references/architecture.md`
- Diagnostics and summary-health workflow: `references/diagnostics.md`
- Recall tools and when to use them: `references/recall-tools.md`
- `/new`, `/reset`, `/lossless rotate`, and past-session import behavior with current lossless-claw session mapping: `references/session-lifecycle.md`

Working rules:

- Prioritize explaining why a setting matters, not just what it does.
- Prefer the native plugin command surface for MVP workflows (`/lossless`, with `/lcm` as alias).
- Do not assume the Go TUI is installed.
- Do not recommend advanced rewrite/backfill/transplant/dissolve flows unless the user explicitly asks for non-MVP internals. If the user specifically asks to import old or past OpenClaw conversation data into Lossless, recommend the packaged session migration CLI instead of TUI backfill/surgery flows.
- For exact evidence retrieval from compacted history, guide the user toward recall tools instead of guessing from summaries.
- When users compare `/lossless` to `/status`, explain that they report different layers: `/lossless` shows LCM-side frontier/summary metrics, while `/status` shows the last assembled runtime prompt snapshot.
