I investigate everything openclaw does to figure out how it works. I operate slower this way but I get a thorough understanding of how people are building agents. For example, after registering for moltbook, i wondered when my agent decides to read from and write to moltbook The answer lies in HEARTBEAT .md, which is a text file serves as a periodic task scheduler for your openclaw agent. Your agent will poll this file regularly and follow the instructions (written in English). One of the instructions in HEARTBEATmd is to check moltbook every 30 minutes. Heartbeat is similar to traditional cron jobs. It's a very powerful feature that allows your agent to initiate tasks without having you message it first. If you're building an app that involves openclaw agents, you can make agents edit their HEARTBEATmd to poll your app every so often.
