OpenClaw Operator

Give Codex and Claude Code the context to set up, validate, and troubleshoot your OpenClaw installation.

Bring your coding agent to your local OpenClaw install, describe what you want, and let it do the heavy lifting:

• create or update skills
• wire providers and integrations
• add cron/scheduled automation
• inspect config safely
• validate changes
• troubleshoot broken installs

Why this exists

OpenClaw is powerful, but setup can still be intimidating.

A lot of the friction is not “writing code” — it’s knowing:

• where the right files live
• which commands to run first
• how to validate changes safely
• how to structure skills and supporting files
• how to troubleshoot without random trial-and-error

OpenClaw Operator gives coding agents like Codex and Claude Code the missing operational context.

Instead of manually piecing together docs, configs, skills, cron jobs, and validation steps, you can point your coding agent at your OpenClaw setup and say what you want.

What it does

This repo provides:

• a reusable SKILL.md for OpenClaw operations
• a validation_checklist.md for safe completion and verification
• a task-playbooks.md reference for common workflows
• a lightweight AGENTS.md for Codex
• a lightweight CLAUDE.md for Claude Code
• a structure you can copy into your own repo or local OpenClaw install

Who this is for

This is for you if you:

• run OpenClaw locally
• want to use Codex or Claude Code to configure it
• want a repeatable structure for OpenClaw setup work
• are tired of re-explaining OpenClaw conventions to your coding agent every session

What this is not

This is not a replacement for OpenClaw itself.

It does not magically install or configure every environment without review.

It is an operator pack: a set of instructions, playbooks, and validation habits that help a coding agent work on an OpenClaw installation more effectively.

Example prompt

Inspect this OpenClaw installation, identify why the provider config is failing, fix it with the smallest safe change, and validate the result before finishing.

Example outcomes

With this pack installed, your coding agent should be better at tasks like:

• “Create a new OpenClaw skill for my local media workflow.”
• “Add a scheduled job and validate that it’s wired correctly.”
• “Inspect this install and tell me why the gateway/channel is failing.”
• “Set up provider config safely and confirm the health checks pass.”

Quick install

You can use this pack in three places:

1. Codex
2. Claude Code
3. OpenClaw itself

You can install one, two, or all three depending on your workflow.
