Open-Claw

Vendor: Open-Claw Install name: open-claw Status: Preview Native config: ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

Installation

apothem install --harness open-claw

The adapter translates the shared profile to OpenClaw's user-global config file. OpenClaw's native config is JSON; the materializer renders JSON to match.

Files written: ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

Profile-to-native-config mapping

The adapter reads the shared apothem profile (the installed source tree under src/apothem/, plus the root CLAUDE.md and settings*.json) and derives the Open-Claw-native config on every apothem install or apothem update run. The shared profile is the single source of truth; never edit native config directly as your edits will be overwritten on the next sync.

Compatibility notes

Preview adapter. Breaking changes expected between releases.

File an issue at the apothem repository if you encounter translation gaps.

Verification

apothem verify --harness open-claw

The verify command confirms that:

1. The native config exists at the expected path.
2. All mandatory fields from the shared profile are present.
3. The adapter version matches the installed apothem version.

Updating

apothem update --harness open-claw

Re-derives the native config from the current shared profile state. Run after any change to CLAUDE.md, src/apothem/rules/, or settings.json in the apothem source tree.

Uninstalling

apothem uninstall --harness open-claw

Removes the native config files written by the adapter. The shared apothem profile (the source tree) is unaffected.

Conformity gate

python src/apothem/conformity/conformity-gate.py --harness open-claw

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
Config file not found	Re-run apothem install --harness open-claw
Adapter version mismatch	Run apothem update --harness open-claw
Unexpected config content	Check the apothem source tree (src/apothem/, CLAUDE.md, settings*.json) — that is the source of truth
