OpenClaw

Adapter for the OpenClaw CLI.

Install​

Auth​

amux run openclaw --prompt "Generate a CHANGELOG entry"

Notable flags​

  • --prompt <text> — forwarded prompt.
  • --auto-approve — emitted when approvalMode: 'yolo'.

Session files​

  • Location: ~/.openclaw/sessions/*.jsonl
  • JSONL; events text, message, tool_call are parsed.

Plugins​

Plugin support: no. Use MCP servers for extensibility.
