What is clawops AGENTS.md?

A set of project instructions for clawops, a TypeScript command-line tool that deploys and manages self-hosted OpenClaw installations on cloud services or local virtual machines. It also describes the project's folders, rules, and interfaces.

Use it when working on clawops commands, cloud providers, infrastructure deployment, its MCP server, SSH transport, configuration, or machine-readable specifications.

It gives an AI coding assistant the context and constraints needed to change the clawops codebase safely and consistently.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01559	$0.01559
Opus 5.5	$0.00624	$0.00624
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00312	$0.00312
Haiku 4.5	$0.00156	$0.00156

Security

Grade A, and why

clawops AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

clawops

clawops is a TypeScript CLI that generates and applies infrastructure to deploy self-hosted OpenClaw across AWS, GCP, Azure, and local VMs. It uses the Pulumi Automation API (whose CLI clawops installs itself — ADR 0010) and exposes its operations as both a CLI surface and an MCP server so Claude Code, Cursor, and other agents can drive deployments deterministically.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
