* refactor(state): make cron and subagent rows JSON-canonical * refactor(state): make gateway origin device tokens canonical at v13 The lazy ensure predates the table joining the canonical schema; at the v13 bump the schema owns creation, so the feature-local DDL, WeakSet dedupe, and lazy-list entry retire. The legacy-file guard the ensure carried stays at each call site. * test: drop obsolete lazy-ensure coverage for origin device tokens The table is canonical at v13; same-version lazy creation no longer exists to protect. Origin CRUD, isolation, and rotation coverage remains in the surviving cases. * refactor(state): fold installed_plugin_index into config_machine_state The singleton index row becomes one JSON value under plugins.installedIndex with its rollback-fencing revision inside the value; reads, CAS restore, and the lease-held write transactions use direct Kysely on config_machine_state so the state_leases assertion stays in-transaction. The v13 migration imports the row and drops the table; the additive workspace_dir entry folds with it. Doctor guidance, docker staging, and the e2e probes name the machine-state row. * refactor(state): merge workspace_attestations into workspace_setup_state One row per workspace now carries both setup milestones and the attestation clock: nullable setup columns represent attestation-only workspaces (replaceWorkspaceAttestation can precede any setup write) and setupExists derives from a non-null version. The bootstrap-hash FK repoints to the merged table; migration receipts keep the historical workspace_attestations discriminator string. The v13 migration grows and rebuilds the table, merges attestation rows (orphans without a path alias drop — their hashes re-derive at the next bootstrap attestation), and the consolidation kind is renamed state-consolidation-v13 to cover the batch. * test(state): cover the workspace merge and consolidation fallout The v12-to-v13 regression seeds merged, attestation-only, and orphan attestation workspaces; the 13-to-12 downgrade fixture recreates workspace_attestations and installed_plugin_index from the folded data; the fold-in migration gates the additive workspace_dir column for pre-additive rows; the workspace merge now triggers on the setup table's own shape so stable-era databases without an attestations table still reshape; the consolidation applied-message covers the batch. * refactor(state): fold shared auth profile singletons into config_machine_state The shared-state auth_profile_stores/auth_profile_state rows (fixed key 'shared') become authProfiles.store/authProfiles.state machine-state values; the agent-DB tables of the same names are untouched. Git-backup redaction moves from table-drop to the authProfiles. secret prefix with seeded-secret absence proof; migration receipts keep the historical table-name discriminators; the shared-auth relocation and receipt verification project the KV cells back to the receipt-era row shapes so persisted digests stay byte-compatible. mcp_oauth_stores stays a table — its multi-key fold is a named follow-up. * test(state): finish shared-auth fold coverage and annotate boundary casts Auth seeders and assertions across the e2e/scripts/secrets suites target the authProfiles machine-state cells; the v12-to-v13 regression proves payload-byte fidelity, non-shared-row drop, and insert-if-absent precedence; the downgrade fixture recreates and repopulates both v12 tables. Boundary type assertions in the plugin-index store carry SAFETY invariants per the ratchet. * chore: shrink assertion-safety baseline for plugin-index store * refactor(doctor): delete the dead onboarding-recommendations migration Its input — the unscoped 'primary' onboarding row — existed only between |

OpenClaw 🦞 — Your assistant, on your devices, in your chats
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant that runs on your devices and meets you in the channels you already use. It is designed for a single operator and connects models, tools, messaging channels, and optional companion apps through one Gateway.
Website · Docs · Getting started · Showcase · FAQ · Vision · DeepWiki
Install
The installer supports macOS, Linux, and Windows. It provisions a supported Node.js runtime when needed.
# macOS / Linux / WSL2
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
# Windows PowerShell
iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex
Already manage Node.js? Install the published package instead (Node 22.22.3+, 24.15+, or 25.9+):
npm install -g openclaw@latest --allow-scripts=openclaw
That command is for npm 12 or npm 11.16+. On npm 11.15 and earlier, omit
--allow-scripts=openclaw. See the
installation guide for the lifecycle script
contract, Docker, Nix, and other deployment paths.
Quick start
On a fresh install, the installer scripts start onboarding automatically. Complete the wizard they open. If you installed the package directly with npm, pnpm, or Bun, run:
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
After onboarding:
openclaw gateway status
openclaw dashboard
Onboarding verifies model access, creates the workspace, and configures the Gateway. The last command opens the Control UI; send a message there to confirm the assistant is working. See the getting started guide for channel setup and troubleshooting.
How it fits together
- The Gateway is the local control plane for sessions, tools, events, and channel connections.
- The Control UI, CLI, and TUI connect to the Gateway.
- Channels bring the assistant to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, and other messaging services.
- Companion apps and nodes add voice, Canvas, camera, screen, and device-local actions on supported platforms.
OpenClaw works with hosted and local model providers. Its tools, skills, and plugins extend what an assistant can do.
Security
Treat inbound messages as untrusted input. DM-capable channels pair unknown senders by default; approve a pairing request with openclaw pairing approve <channel> <code>.
Tools run on the host for the main session unless you configure sandboxing. Read the security guide, exposure runbook, and sandboxing guide before connecting other users or exposing the Gateway remotely.

Development
The repository is a pnpm workspace. Plain npm install at the repository root is not supported.
git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
cd openclaw
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm ui:build
See CONTRIBUTING.md for the contribution workflow and the source setup guide for the development loop.
Community
OpenClaw is developed in the open by the OpenClaw Foundation, a non-profit. See CONTRIBUTING.md for maintainers and contribution guidelines; AI-assisted PRs are welcome.
Use the issue chooser for bugs and feature requests, ask setup questions in Discord, and report vulnerabilities through SECURITY.md. New capabilities usually belong in plugins built on the plugin SDK and shared through ClawHub.
OpenClaw was built for Molty, a space lobster AI assistant, by Peter Steinberger and the community. Explore the project lore, soul.md, Peter's site, Star History, and @openclaw.
Special thanks to Mario Zechner for his support and for pi, and to Adam Doppelt for the lobster.bot domain.
