openclaw-migration

openclaw-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Tommy-yw/RunbookHermes. It costs 56 tokens per session (3,581 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of openclaw-migration, MIT.

A guide for moving an OpenClaw setup into Hermes Agent. OpenClaw is the existing agent environment, and Hermes Agent is the destination system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to preview or perform a migration from the default or a custom .openclaw folder, handle conflicts, and migrate without secrets when needed.
Why use it?
It reduces manual reconfiguration by transferring compatible memories, instructions, command approvals, skills, and selected workspace files while reporting items it cannot move.

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-migration 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 298 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenClaw -> Hermes Migration

Use this skill when a user wants to move their OpenClaw setup into Hermes Agent with minimal manual cleanup.

CLI Command

For a quick, non-interactive migration, use the built-in CLI command:

hermes claw migrate              # Full interactive migration
hermes claw migrate --dry-run    # Preview what would be migrated
hermes claw migrate --preset user-data   # Migrate without secrets
hermes claw migrate --overwrite  # Overwrite existing conflicts
hermes claw migrate --source /custom/path/.openclaw  # Custom source

The CLI command runs the same migration script described below. Use this skill (via the agent) when you want an interactive, guided migration with dry-run previews and per-item conflict resolution.

First-time setup: The hermes setup wizard automatically detects ~/.openclaw and offers migration before configuration begins.

What this skill does

It uses scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py to:

  • import SOUL.md into the Hermes home directory as SOUL.md
  • transform OpenClaw MEMORY.md and USER.md into Hermes memory entries
  • merge OpenClaw command approval patterns into Hermes command_allowlist
  • migrate Hermes-compatible messaging settings such as TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS and MESSAGING_CWD
  • copy OpenClaw skills into ~/.hermes/skills/openclaw-imports/
  • optionally copy the OpenClaw workspace instructions file into a chosen Hermes workspace
  • mirror compatible workspace assets such as workspace/tts/ into ~/.hermes/tts/
  • archive non-secret docs that do not have a direct Hermes destination
  • produce a structured report listing migrated items, conflicts, skipped items, and reasons

Path resolution

The helper script lives in this skill directory at:

  • scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py

When this skill is installed from the Skills Hub, the normal location is:

  • ~/.hermes/skills/migration/openclaw-migration/scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py

Do not guess a shorter path like ~/.hermes/skills/openclaw-migration/....

What ships with it

1 file 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.
