## Global flags

- `--dev`: isolate state under `~/.openclaw-dev` and shift default ports.
- `--profile <name>`: isolate state under `~/.openclaw-<name>`.
- `--no-color`: disable ANSI colors.
- `--update`: shorthand for `openclaw update` (source installs only).
- `-V`, `--version`, `-v`: print version and exit.

## Output styling

- ANSI colors and progress indicators only render in TTY sessions.
- OSC-8 hyperlinks render as clickable links in supported terminals; otherwise we fall back to plain URLs.
- `--json` (and `--plain` where supported) disables styling for clean output.
- `--no-color` disables ANSI styling; `NO_COLOR=1` is also respected.
- Long-running commands show a progress indicator (OSC 9;4 when supported).

## Color palette

OpenClaw uses a lobster palette for CLI output.

- `accent` (#FF5A2D): headings, labels, primary highlights.
- `accentBright` (#FF7A3D): command names, emphasis.
- `accentDim` (#D14A22): secondary highlight text.
- `info` (#FF8A5B): informational values.
- `success` (#2FBF71): success states.
- `warn` (#FFB020): warnings, fallbacks, attention.
- `error` (#E23D2D): errors, failures.
- `muted` (#8B7F77): de-emphasis, metadata.

Palette source of truth: `src/terminal/palette.ts` (aka “lobster seam”).

Note: plugins can add additional top-level commands (for example `openclaw voicecall`).

## Security

- `openclaw security audit` — audit config + local state for common security foot-guns.
- `openclaw security audit --deep` — best-effort live Gateway probe.
- `openclaw security audit --fix` — tighten safe defaults and chmod state/config.

## Plugins

Manage extensions and their config:

- `openclaw plugins list` — discover plugins (use `--json` for machine output).
- `openclaw plugins info <id>` — show details for a plugin.
- `openclaw plugins install <path|.tgz|npm-spec>` — install a plugin (or add a plugin path to `plugins.load.paths`).
- `openclaw plugins enable <id>` / `disable <id>` — toggle `plugins.entries.<id>.enabled`.
- `openclaw plugins doctor` — report plugin load errors.

Most plugin changes require a gateway restart. See [/plugin](/plugin).

## Memory

Vector search over `MEMORY.md` + `memory/*.md`:

- `openclaw memory status` — show index stats.
- `openclaw memory index` — reindex memory files.
- `openclaw memory search "<query>"` — semantic search over memory.

## Chat slash commands

Chat messages support `/...` commands (text and native). See [/tools/slash-commands](/tools/slash-commands).

Highlights:

- `/status` for quick diagnostics.
- `/config` for persisted config changes.
- `/debug` for runtime-only config overrides (memory, not disk; requires `commands.debug: true`).

## Setup + onboarding

- `--non-interactive`: run wizard without prompts.
- `--mode <local|remote>`: wizard mode.
- `--remote-url <url>`: remote Gateway URL.
- `--remote-token <token>`: remote Gateway token.

Wizard auto-runs when any wizard flags are present (`--non-interactive`, `--mode`, `--remote-url`, `--remote-token`).

### `onboard`

### `configure`

Interactive configuration wizard (models, channels, skills, gateway).

### `config`

Non-interactive config helpers (get/set/unset). Running `openclaw config` with no
subcommand launches the wizard.

Subcommands:

- `config get <path>`: print a config value (dot/bracket path).
- `config set <path> <value>`: set a value (JSON5 or raw string).
- `config unset <path>`: remove a value.

### `doctor`

Health checks + quick fixes (config + gateway + legacy services).

Options:

- `--no-workspace-suggestions`: disable workspace memory hints.
- `--yes`: accept defaults without prompting (headless).
- `--non-interactive`: skip prompts; apply safe migrations only.
- `--deep`: scan system services for extra gateway installs.

## Channel helpers

### `channels`

Manage chat channel accounts (WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/Google Chat/Slack/Mattermost (plugin)/Signal/iMessage/MS Teams).

Subcommands:

- `channels list`: show configured channels and auth profiles.
- `channels status`: check gateway reachability and channel health (`--probe` runs extra checks; use `openclaw health` or `openclaw status --deep` for gateway health probes).
- Tip: `channels status` prints warnings with suggested fixes when it can detect common misconfigurations (then points you to `openclaw doctor`).
- `channels logs`: show recent channel logs from the gateway log file.
- `channels add`: wizard-style setup when no flags are passed; flags switch to non-interactive mode.
- `channels remove`: disable by default; pass `--delete` to remove config entries without prompts.
- `channels login`: interactive channel login (WhatsApp Web only).
- `channels logout`: log out of a channel session (if supported).

Common options:

- `--channel <name>`: `whatsapp|telegram|discord|googlechat|slack|mattermost|signal|imessage|msteams`
- `--account <id>`: channel account id (default `default`)
- `--name <label>`: display name for the account

`channels login` options:

- `--channel <channel>` (default `whatsapp`; supports `whatsapp`/`web`)
- `--account <id>`
- `--verbose`

`channels logout` options:

- `--channel <channel>` (default `whatsapp`)
- `--account <id>`

`channels list` options:

- `--no-usage`: skip model provider usage/quota snapshots (OAuth/API-backed only).
- `--json`: output JSON (includes usage unless `--no-usage` is set).

`channels logs` options:

- `--channel <name|all>` (default `all`)
- `--lines <n>` (default `200`)
- `--json`

More detail: [/concepts/oauth](/concepts/oauth)

Examples:

```bash
openclaw channels add --channel telegram --account alerts --name "Alerts Bot" --token $TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
openclaw channels add --channel discord --account work --name "Work Bot" --token $DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN
openclaw channels remove --channel discord --account work --delete
openclaw channels status --probe
openclaw status --deep
```

### `skills`

List and inspect available skills plus readiness info.

Subcommands:

- `skills list`: list skills (default when no subcommand).
- `skills info <name>`: show details for one skill.
- `skills check`: summary of ready vs missing requirements.

Options:

- `--eligible`: show only ready skills.
- `--json`: output JSON (no styling).
- `-v`, `--verbose`: include missing requirements detail.

Tip: use `npx clawhub` to search, install, and sync skills.

### `pairing`

Approve DM pairing requests across channels.

Subcommands:

- `pairing list <channel> [--json]`
- `pairing approve <channel> <code> [--notify]`

### `webhooks gmail`

- `webhooks gmail run` (runtime overrides for the same flags)

### `dns setup`

Wide-area discovery DNS helper (CoreDNS + Tailscale). See [/gateway/discovery](/gateway/discovery).

Options:

- `--apply`: install/update CoreDNS config (requires sudo; macOS only).

## Messaging + agent

### `message`

Unified outbound messaging + channel actions.

Options:

- `--workspace <dir>`
- `--model <id>`
- `--agent-dir <dir>`
- `--bind <channel[:accountId]>` (repeatable)
- `--non-interactive`

- `--json`

### `acp`

Run the ACP bridge that connects IDEs to the Gateway.

See [`acp`](/cli/acp) for full options and examples.

### `status`

Show linked session health and recent recipients.

Options:

- `--json`
- `--all` (full diagnosis; read-only, pasteable)
- `--deep` (probe channels)
- `--usage` (show model provider usage/quota)
- `--timeout <ms>`
- `--verbose`
- `--debug` (alias for `--verbose`)

Notes:

- Overview includes Gateway + node host service status when available.

### Usage tracking

OpenClaw can surface provider usage/quota when OAuth/API creds are available.

Surfaces:

- `/status` (adds a short provider usage line when available)
- `openclaw status --usage` (prints full provider breakdown)
- macOS menu bar (Usage section under Context)

Notes:

- Data comes directly from provider usage endpoints (no estimates).
- Providers: Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex OAuth, plus Gemini CLI/Antigravity when those provider plugins are enabled.
- If no matching credentials exist, usage is hidden.
- Details: see [Usage tracking](/concepts/usage-tracking).

### `health`

Fetch health from the running Gateway.

Options:

- `--json`
- `--timeout <ms>`
- `--verbose`

### `sessions`

List stored conversation sessions.

Options:

- `--json`
- `--verbose`
- `--store <path>`
- `--active <minutes>`

## Reset / Uninstall

### `reset`

Reset local config/state (keeps the CLI installed).

Options:

- `--scope <config|config+creds+sessions|full>`
- `--yes`
- `--non-interactive`
- `--dry-run`

Notes:

- `--non-interactive` requires `--scope` and `--yes`.

### `uninstall`

Uninstall the gateway service + local data (CLI remains).

Options:

- `--service`
- `--state`
- `--workspace`
- `--app`
- `--all`
- `--yes`
- `--non-interactive`
- `--dry-run`

Notes:

- `--non-interactive` requires `--yes` and explicit scopes (or `--all`).

## Gateway

### `gateway`

Run the WebSocket Gateway.

Options:

- `--port <port>`
- `--bind <loopback|tailnet|lan|auto|custom>`
- `--token <token>`
- `--auth <token|password>`
- `--password <password>`
- `--tailscale <off|serve|funnel>`
- `--tailscale-reset-on-exit`
- `--allow-unconfigured`
- `--dev`
- `--reset` (reset dev config + credentials + sessions + workspace)
- `--force` (kill existing listener on port)
- `--verbose`
- `--claude-cli-logs`
- `--ws-log <auto|full|compact>`
- `--compact` (alias for `--ws-log compact`)
- `--raw-stream`
- `--raw-stream-path <path>`

### `gateway service`

Manage the Gateway service (launchd/systemd/schtasks).

Subcommands:

- `gateway status` (probes the Gateway RPC by default)
- `gateway install` (service install)
- `gateway uninstall`
- `gateway start`
- `gateway stop`
- `gateway restart`

Notes:

- `gateway status` probes the Gateway RPC by default using the service’s resolved port/config (override with `--url/--token/--password`).
- `gateway status` supports `--no-probe`, `--deep`, and `--json` for scripting.
- `gateway status` also surfaces legacy or extra gateway services when it can detect them (`--deep` adds system-level scans). Profile-named OpenClaw services are treated as first-class and aren't flagged as "extra".
- `gateway status` prints which config path the CLI uses vs which config the service likely uses (service env), plus the resolved probe target URL.
- `gateway install|uninstall|start|stop|restart` support `--json` for scripting (default output stays human-friendly).
- `gateway install` defaults to Node runtime; bun is **not recommended** (WhatsApp/Telegram bugs).
- `gateway install` options: `--port`, `--runtime`, `--token`, `--force`, `--json`.

### `logs`

Tail Gateway file logs via RPC.

Notes:

- TTY sessions render a colorized, structured view; non-TTY falls back to plain text.
- `--json` emits line-delimited JSON (one log event per line).

Examples:

```bash
openclaw logs --follow
openclaw logs --limit 200
openclaw logs --plain
openclaw logs --json
openclaw logs --no-color
```

### `gateway <subcommand>`

Gateway CLI helpers (use `--url`, `--token`, `--password`, `--timeout`, `--expect-final` for RPC subcommands).

Subcommands:

- `gateway call <method> [--params <json>]`
- `gateway health`
- `gateway status`
- `gateway probe`
- `gateway discover`
- `gateway install|uninstall|start|stop|restart`
- `gateway run`

Common RPCs:

- `config.apply` (validate + write config + restart + wake)
- `config.patch` (merge a partial update + restart + wake)
- `update.run` (run update + restart + wake)

Tip: when calling `config.set`/`config.apply`/`config.patch` directly, pass `baseHash` from
`config.get` if a config already exists.

## Models
