Fleet Management

Fleet Management 🚀

Fleet data: ~/openclaw-fleet/*.md — one file per remote server. The master has no fleet file — it's the source of truth.

Interpret intent naturally. Adapt to what's asked. Sometimes that's a quick health check, sometimes a full assessment, sometimes pushing an update.

After meaningful updates (new skills, new workflows), offer to notify the admin (if specified in fleet file). Draft something friendly and contextual. Routine maintenance doesn't need notifications.

When sending notifications to admin: Send from the agent's identity (from IDENTITY.md on that machine), NOT from the user's personal account. The admin should see messages from "Bob Steel" or "Cora", not from Gil or Julianna. Use the agent identity as the sender when crafting messages.

Escalate to the fleet owner when things break that were working. Don't escalate routine success or expected states.

openclaw models list | grep -w missing

If ANY configured model shows missing, the update changed the model catalog and broke those model IDs.

Stop the fleet operation. List all affected machines and their missing models, then tell the user to run /update-model for each one. Do not batch — each machine may need different model IDs based on its provider configuration. Do not attempt to fix model IDs inline — the /update-model command has mandatory safeguards you cannot replicate from memory.

Cron job model overrides are not covered by global config fixes. Include any cron jobs with model errors in the list so the user can address them with /update-model too.

This is not optional. Model ID formats change between OpenClaw versions (e.g. hyphens to dots). Broken model IDs cause silent cron failures that only surface hours later.
