CI setup could fail before lint or tests when Matrix crypto native-library downloads hit a transient release-CDN error. Hosted store-only readers used a different cache path from the publisher, and hybrid mode seeded only the Blacksmith Linux backend. Align the existing setup action and warmer on the workspace-local pnpm store, publish completed native installation outputs before unrelated build work, and add one install-only hosted warmer row in hybrid mode. Bound installed-Node discovery to four levels to avoid traversing bundled npm dependencies. The existing warmer remains the sole publisher and PR consumers remain restore-only. Current-head hosted warm setup completed in 22 seconds with 1,436 packages reused, zero downloads, and Matrix postinstall skipped, compared with the recorded ten-job 45-second baseline median. This is an observed sample, not a measured fleet-wide median change. Cold caches and changed native inputs still require upstream assets. No application runtime, configuration, dependency, or permission changes. Validation: exact-head PR CI run 35197161825 returned GREEN; the accepted Codex review and exact-head ClawSweeper review found no actionable issues. The PR also records passing targeted Node/cache guards, workflow checks, and cold/warm native reuse proof. Related: #150637, #150526. Co-authored-by: Peter Steinberger <steipete@gmail.com> |

OpenClaw 🦞 — Your assistant, on your devices, in your chats
OpenClaw is an AI assistant that runs on your devices and meets you in the channels you already use. It connects models, tools, messaging channels, and optional companion apps through one Gateway, for a single operator or for a team whose members trust each other: the same gateway runs as a personal assistant on one laptop or as a shared team deployment, and configuration is the only difference. The architecture case — trusted gateway, untrusted execution, deterministic policy — is in Why OpenClaw.

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.
