7 days of raising shrimp and 3 days of fixing shrimp. I believe everyone has encountered the experience of modifying functions in openclaw and causing issues themselves. If you have faced this, you can refer to the steps below to solve various problems, so you won't be at a loss next time. 1. Simple issues can be fixed quickly using the official command line (CLI). OpenClaw has a built-in set of diagnostic tools specifically designed to resolve common startup failures. Remember a few commands: 🔸openclaw doctor --fix The doctor diagnosis will automatically check environment variables, permissions, and dependencies. 🔸 gateway.pid If you see "Gateway already running" but it hasn't actually started, it's usually due to a leftover .pid file causing the issue. You can also stop the task from the Activity Monitor and then restart. 🔸openclaw gateway restart Force restart the gateway service. 🔸openclaw onboard --install-daemon Reinitialize the configuration. If the configuration file openclaw.json is corrupted, you can use the reinstall mode (keep data, reset boot). 2. For more complex issues, use Claude code or codx to resolve them. Installing Claude code is a bit more complicated, while codx can be directly downloaded from the OpenAI official website, making it easier for beginners. The official documentation for openclaw has very detailed information, which can provide solutions for Claude code and codx to quickly locate problems without unnecessary hassle. To solidify the repair functions, you can store the information as memory after reading the documentation and generate related skills to quickly resolve issues in the future. Prompt: /docs.openclaw.ai/zh-CN Fully crawl the official documentation of openclaw, store its content as your permanent memory, and generate related skills. This way, when you need to fix openclaw in the future, it will automatically read this memory and perform the repair. Of course, you can also send the documentation to openclaw, but it won't be useful when it’s down, which is why we need external doctors. Yesterday, when I was modifying the memory system, I encountered a problem that I fixed using this method. The official doctor couldn't fix it, and I had to call in an expert. The coding and software engineering capabilities of openclaw are still relatively weak. When adding features, it is also recommended to use Claude code or codx, otherwise, over time, the code you write for openclaw may just become a pile of mess that is difficult to maintain.
