Config Guardian

Overview

Use this workflow whenever editing ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json or running openclaw config set/apply. It prevents invalid config, creates backups, validates against schema, and enables rollback.

Workflow (use every time)

  1. Preflight

    • Confirm the requested change and scope.
    • Check for sensitive keys (tokens, credentials).
  2. Backup

    • Run scripts/backup_config.sh to create a timestamped snapshot.
  3. Validate (before change)

    • Run scripts/validate_config.sh.
    • If validation fails, stop and report.
  4. Apply change

    • Prefer openclaw config set <path> <value> for small changes.
    • For complex edits, edit the file directly and keep diffs minimal.
  5. Validate (after change)

    • Run scripts/validate_config.sh again.
    • If it fails, restore from backup with scripts/restore_config.sh.
  6. Restart (only with explicit approval)

    • If change requires restart, ask for approval first.
    • Use openclaw gateway restart.

Guardrails

  • Never restart or apply config without explicit user approval.
  • Never remove keys or reorder blocks unless requested.
  • Always keep a backup before edits.
  • If unsure about schema: run openclaw doctor --non-interactive and stop on errors.

Scripts

  • scripts/backup_config.sh — create timestamped backup
  • scripts/validate_config.sh — validate config via OpenClaw doctor
  • scripts/diff_config.sh — diff current config vs backup
  • scripts/restore_config.sh — restore backup

Validation

  • Use openclaw doctor --non-interactive for schema validation
  • This checks against the actual schema that the gateway uses
  • Warns about unknown keys, invalid types, and security issues
