Clawwork

Skill: sync-gateway-docs

Sync the three ClawWork Gateway reference documents against the latest OpenClaw source code.

When to Use

• Periodically (e.g., after OpenClaw releases or major Gateway changes)
• When adding a new Gateway feature to ClawWork and the docs feel stale
• User says: "更新 Gateway 文档", "sync gateway docs", or similar

Documents

Prerequisites

• OpenClaw repo checked out at ~/git/openclaw with latest main
• ClawWork repo at ~/git/clawwork/main

Execution

Run all three phases. Each phase is independent and can be run in parallel via subagents.

Phase 1: Update Whitepaper

The whitepaper is the protocol contract. It must match the current openclaw source exactly.

Step 1 — Detect changes. Read the following openclaw files and diff against what the whitepaper currently documents:

Step 2 — Apply changes. For each detected difference:

• New methods → add to §5 method list + add schema details if it's a major domain
• New events → add to §4 event table with scope guard + dropIfSlow info
• Changed schemas → update the TypeScript snippets inline
• Changed constants → update §2.4 constants table
• New/changed client IDs → update §3.3 tables

Step 3 — Update metadata. Bump the version line at the top of the whitepaper:

> Source of truth: reverse-engineered from `~/git/openclaw` (version YYYY.M.D)
> Date: YYYY-MM-DD

Step 4 — Verify inline sources. Every section must have a > Source: annotation. If a new section was added, add one.

Phase 2: Update Source Guide

The source guide maps code structure. It must reflect the current directory layout and file responsibilities.

Step 1 — Detect structural changes. Check:

• ls src/gateway/protocol/schema/ — any new/removed schema files?
• ls src/gateway/server-methods/ — any new/removed handler files?
• ls src/gateway/server/ — any new/removed infrastructure files?
• ls src/gateway/server/ws-connection/ — any changes to auth/handshake files?

Step 2 — Apply changes.

• New schema files → add to §2.1 directory map
• New handler files → add to §3.1 directory map with methods they handle
• New infrastructure files → add to §4.2 key infrastructure table
• Changed file responsibilities → update descriptions

Step 3 — Verify flow diagrams. If the request/auth/broadcast flow changed, update the ASCII diagrams in §4.1, §4.3.

Phase 3: Update Capability Map

The capability map tracks what ClawWork uses. It must reflect the current ClawWork code.

Step 1 — Scan ClawWork RPC calls. Read:

• packages/desktop/src/main/ws/gateway-client.ts — all sendReq() calls (the method string is the first argument)
• packages/desktop/src/main/ipc/ws-handlers.ts — all ipcMain.handle() registrations

Step 2 — Scan ClawWork event handlers. Read:

• packages/core/src/services/gateway-dispatcher.ts — the dispatch switch/if-else block
• packages/desktop/src/main/ws/gateway-client.ts — the handleEvent() method

Step 3 — Diff against existing doc.

• New RPC calls in ClawWork → move from §2 (unused) to §1 (used), add location + IPC channel
• Removed RPC calls → move from §1 to §2
• New event handlers → move from §3.2 (unhandled) to §3.1 (handled)
• New Gateway methods (from Phase 1) not in ClawWork → add to §2 (unused)

Step 4 — Update ConnectParams (§5). Read the current connect handshake in gateway-client.ts and verify client.id, client.mode, caps, scopes, device fields match.

Step 5 — Update coverage summary (§8). Recalculate percentages.

Output

After updating, report:

1. What changed in each document (bullet list)
2. New Gateway capabilities that ClawWork could benefit from (if any)
3. Any discrepancies found (e.g., ClawWork calling a removed method)

Rules

• Do not invent information. Every claim must trace to a source file.
• Do not change the document structure (section numbers, headings) without reason.
• Preserve all > Source: inline annotations.
• Use the whitepaper as the intermediate reference: Phase 1 updates it from openclaw, Phase 3 references it for the full capability list.
• If a change is ambiguous (e.g., a method was renamed vs. removed+added), check git log --oneline -20 -- <file> in the openclaw repo.
