openclaw-cheatsheet

openclaw-cheatsheet is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from davidtoby/agent-skills. It costs 83 tokens per session (843 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quick reference for OpenClaw, an AI-agent platform, and its command-line interface. It lists commands, subcommands, flags, examples, and safety rules for areas such as gateways, channels, models, sessions, and scheduled jobs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up command syntax, find copy-ready examples, check flags, and prepare changes to OpenClaw configuration, gateways, channels, models, cron jobs, and other services.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when using OpenClaw commands and helps verify flags before making operational changes. It also calls for confirmation before potentially destructive actions.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

openclaw-cheatsheet 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenClaw Cheatsheet

Primary reference: references/openclaw-cheatsheet.md

When to invoke

  • User asks for an OpenClaw command, flag list, or usage example.
  • User asks how to send messages, manage cron jobs, configure channels/models, run the gateway, etc.
  • Before any operational change (config set, gateway restart, cron add/edit, channels add/remove, models set, hooks install/enable).
  • User says "check the cheatsheet" or asks "what flags does X have?"

Rules

  1. Always read references/openclaw-cheatsheet.md before answering CLI questions — never guess flags.
  2. If the cheatsheet doesn't cover a flag, verify with openclaw <command> --help.
  3. Never run destructive or state-changing commands (config set, gateway restart, cron rm, channels remove, reset, uninstall) without confirming with the user first.
  4. Keep answers concise — surface only the sections relevant to the request.

Response pattern

  1. Pull the relevant section(s) from the cheatsheet.
  2. Provide 1-3 copy-paste-ready examples tailored to the user's context.
  3. For dangerous operations (restart, update, config change, delete, uninstall), include a warning line before the command.
  4. If the user is new, add a one-line explanation of what each flag does.

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
