OpenClaw Config Manager

A unified skill to audit, diff, copy, add models to, and switch default models in OpenClaw (龙虾) instance configs.

UtilitiesIntermediate★ 1,323⑂ 212AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 8, 2026

What it does

  • audit: validates providers, models, the default model, aliases and plugin consistency.
  • diff (alias of compare): semantic diff of two openclaw.json files, reporting added/removed/changed items (cost fields skipped unless --include-cost).
  • copy: copies a whole provider between configs, merging models without deleting target-only entries.
  • add-model: adds a model definition plus alias, optionally pulling the provider from a source config first.
  • switch: the only subcommand that changes agents.defaults.model, with existence checks and automatic backup.
  • Shared conveniences: auto-discovery of the config in three standard paths, lobster nicknames from lobsters.json, timestamped backups (20 kept), --dry-run, --restart, and automatic pre/post audits (--no-audit to skip).

Who it's for

  • Operators running multiple OpenClaw gateway instances that must stay in sync
  • Anyone debugging "why does DeepSeek work on this instance but not that one?"
  • People who have broken a default model or alias while hand-editing JSON

Examples

  1. Enable DeepSeek: audit --config 乙虾 → add-model gateway-provider deepseek-v4-pro --config 乙虾 --from 甲虾 --alias "DeepSeek V4 Pro" → switch gateway-provider/deepseek-v4-pro --config 乙虾 --restart
  2. Diff two lobsters: python3 scripts/cli.py diff 甲虾 乙虾
  3. Clone a working config: copy gateway-provider --from 甲虾 --to 乙虾 --alias --restart, then re-run audit

Pitfalls it documents: never create a standalone deepseek provider, use the suffixless deepseek-v4-pro id, and cold-restart after adding new providers.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the openclaw folder from the GitHub repo daymade/claude-code-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/openclaw/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-code-skills/openclaw ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Confirm Python 3 and git are available: python3 --version, git --version
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill in: cp -r claude-code-skills/openclaw ~/.claude/skills/
  5. (Optional) Create a nickname registry at ~/.openclaw/lobsters.json using references/lobster_registry.example.json as a template.
  6. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "audit my openclaw.json" to trigger the skill.
  7. Smoke test: python3 ~/.claude/skills/openclaw/scripts/cli.py list --validate
