Agent-installable Operations Source review 2 minutes

OpenClaw Admin

Operate OpenClaw end-to-end with one pack — diagnose, fix, update, babysit.

OpenClaw admin skill pack — diagnose, configure, fix, update, and babysit OpenClaw installations from one place. Merged action layer (pejmanjohn/openclaw-admin-skills) and reference layer (rendrag-git/openclaw-admin-skill) under a single umbrella, with five trigger-specific sibling skills that chain together for natural-language OpenClaw operations.

ClawHub download

This skill is mirrored to the h-mascot ClawHub account for install-from-the-page convenience.

The ClawHub package is regenerated by scripts/sync-superada-to-clawhub.mjs on every push to main.

Installability

Ready for agent install

Source spec

github:h-mascot/openclawadmin/openclawadmin

This page is designed to be the thing you send to another agent. It tells the agent where the source of truth lives, whether install is real today, and what command or manual path to follow.

Canonical source

https://github.com/h-mascot/openclawadmin/tree/main/openclawadmin

Install command

openclaw skills install github:h-mascot/openclawadmin/openclawadmin

Prompt to hand another agent

Install the skill described on this page from github:h-mascot/openclawadmin/openclawadmin. Review the source first, then run: openclaw skills install github:h-mascot/openclawadmin/openclawadmin

Install steps

Step 1

Review the umbrella SKILL.md plus the five sibling SKILL.md files before installing.

Step 2

Install with `openclaw skills install github:h-mascot/openclawadmin/openclawadmin` (or run the canonical install.sh from the repo for all six skills across Claude + Codex + OpenClaw runtimes).

Step 3

Use the umbrella skill for general "fix my OpenClaw" or "operate OpenClaw" intents; the sibling skills auto-chain for specific triggers like update, troubleshoot, find-instance, babysit.

Step 4

Read openclawadmin/local-install.md on first use and fill it from read-only discovery commands (failover chain, auth ordering, dual-allowlist, ACP allowlist).

Step 5

Subscribe to the weekly upstream-sync cron (openclawadmin-upstream-sync) to be notified when pejmanjohn or rendrag-git ships new content; auto-merge is intentionally disabled so you review the diff before pulling.

What it covers

Umbrella skill with consolidated diagnostic ladder and safe-config workflow
openclaw-update skill (eight-phase update with preflight, backup, verify, highlights)
openclaw-troubleshooting skill with diagnostic ladder, channels playbook, auto-fix allowlist
openclaw-instance-discovery skill (six-phase discovery + registry contract)
openclaw-troubleshooting-compound skill (incident log + signature capture)
openclaw-babysit skill (recurring channel-health monitor with optional auto-fix)
Reference docs: config-map, update-failure-patterns, local-install profile template
Install scripts for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw
Weekly upstream-sync script (pejmanjohn + rendrag-git HEAD check, no auto-merge)

Good use cases

Diagnose a non-responding OpenClaw gateway or channel
Run an end-to-end OpenClaw update with preflight, backup, and verify
Install or refresh an OpenClaw install across one host or a fleet
Monitor channel health on a recurring /loop cadence
Update a local OpenClaw install profile after a host or version change
Audit an OpenClaw installation against the latest config-map and update-failure-patterns

Current limits

The weekly upstream-sync script intentionally does not auto-merge upstream changes into the pack; it writes a sync report and a human reviews.
Updating OpenClaw itself, restarting the gateway, rotating tokens, deleting agents/sessions/plugins/cron, or any rm/mv against OpenClaw state all require explicit user confirmation per the umbrella SKILL.md scope & safety rules.
The pack never reads ~/.openclaw/secrets.json or ~/.openclaw/.env into the conversation; if a diagnostic needs a secret value, the agent must ask the user to paste the specific field.
