⚙️ How It Works

1. Preset Selection

The installer asks you to pick a template optimized for your use case.

2. Optimized Config

Each preset includes:

• Smart model routing (expensive models only when needed)
• Context limits (prevent runaway token costs)
• Heartbeat optimization (Gemini Flash for background checks)
• Cache strategy (short retention for cost savings)

3. Workspace Setup

Creates your agent's "memory":

• SOUL.md — Who your agent is
• USER.md — Who you are (preferences)
• HEARTBEAT.md — Proactive tasks checklist
• MEMORY.md — Long-term memory
• memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md — Daily logs

4. Security Hardening

• Config file permissions: 600 (owner read/write only)
• Workspace permissions: 700 (owner access only)
• Optional: Full VPS hardening available

Connect Telegram

1. Create bot via @BotFather
2. Add token to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "channels": {
    "telegram": {
      "token": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",

🔐 Security

RapidClawAgent applies basic security by default:

• Restrictive file permissions
• Secure API key storage
• Workspace isolation

For production deployments, run full hardening:

# Install healthcheck skill
clawhub install healthcheck

# Run VPS hardening
openclaw chat "Run security audit and apply VPS Hardened profile"

💡 Cost Optimization Tips

1. Use the Right Model for Each Task

• Primary (expensive): Complex reasoning, code generation
• Heartbeat (cheap): Background checks, simple tasks
• Sub-agents (medium): Batch processing, research

2. Limit Context Windows

Default presets use:

• Personal: 50k tokens
• Business: 75k tokens
• Developer: 100k tokens

Adjust in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json → agents.defaults.contextTokens

3. Optimize Heartbeats

• Personal: Every 1h (enough for most users)
• Business: Every 30m (more responsive)
• Developer: Every 2h (less frequent checks)

4. Monitor Usage

openclaw status

Look for:

• Token usage trends
• Most expensive model calls
• Heartbeat frequency impact
