# openclaw - Doramagic AI Context Pack > Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated. ## Project - canonical_name: `openclaw/openclaw` - capability: Your own personal AI assistant. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞 - expected_user_outcome: Your own personal AI assistant. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞 ## Operating Boundaries - Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it. - Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references. - When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact. - publish_status: `publishable` - blocking_gaps: none --- ## Doramagic Context Augmentation The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints. ## Human Manual Outline Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph. Host AI hard rules: - Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence. - When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal. - Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph. - **OpenClaw Overview and Gateway Architecture**: importance `high` - source_paths: README.md, docs/concepts/architecture.md, docs/gateway/index.md, docs/gateway/protocol.md, docs/gateway/configuration.md - **Channels and Messaging Integrations**: importance `high` - source_paths: docs/channels/index.md, docs/channels/pairing.md, docs/channels/channel-routing.md, extensions/discord/index.ts, extensions/discord/openclaw.plugin.json - **AI Providers, Plugins, and Skills**: importance `high` - source_paths: docs/providers/index.md, docs/plugins/manifest.md, docs/plugins/architecture.md, docs/tools/skills.md, docs/concepts/models.md - **Companion Apps and Nodes**: importance `medium` - source_paths: docs/platforms/index.md, docs/platforms/macos.md, docs/platforms/ios.md, docs/platforms/android.md, docs/platforms/windows.md ## Repo Inspection Evidence - repo_clone_verified: true - repo_inspection_verified: true - repo_commit: `5ab3104a15d726d2c699e07d13733f612aab0e69` - inspected_files: `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `Dockerfile`, `README.md`, `package.json`, `docker-compose.yml`, `docs/date-time.md`, `docs/nav-tabs-underline.js`, `docs/network.md`, `docs/prose.md`, `docs/openclaw-agent-runtime.md`, `docs/docs.json`, `docs/vps.md`, `docs/auth-credential-semantics.md`, `docs/index.md`, `docs/logging.md`, `docs/agent-runtime-architecture.md`, `docs/tts.md`, `docs/perplexity.md`, `docs/AGENTS.md`, `docs/brave-search.md` Host AI hard rules: - Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read. - Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts. - Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully. ## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes. ### Constraint 1: Installation risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a installation risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: community_evidence:github | cevd_1e9d3aadd9b7439891ac5a663c132e20 | https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/90953 - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 2: Security or permission risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a security or permission risk.
