Collection of production-ready solutions and patterns developed while working with OpenClaw AI agents.
This repository documents real solutions to real problems encountered during OpenClaw development and deployment. Each solution is battle-tested, documented, and ready to use.
Problem: Need a web-based UI to edit agent configuration files (SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md) directly from the Hub dashboard.
Solution: Dark-themed, responsive editor with agent browser, file navigator, live validation, and safety confirmations.
Key Features:
- Agent browser with real-time status
- File navigator with existence indicators
- Code editor with live saving
- Auto-refresh every 30 seconds
- Safety confirmation for SOUL.md edits
- Mobile-responsive design
Status: ✅ Production | Impact: Instant agent configuration updates, real-time collaboration
Problem: Agent memory files (MEMORY.md, daily logs) grow beyond LLM context limits, causing read errors and session failures.
Solution: Automated lifecycle management using Git hooks and scheduled audits to prevent memory bloat.
Key Features:
- Pre-commit validation (blocks >30KB MEMORY.md)
- Daily automated audits via cron
- Automatic incident archival (>30 days)
- Detailed logging and Telegram alerts
Status: ✅ Production | Impact: 40% memory reduction, zero read errors
Problem: Need visibility of Git sync status across multiple OpenClaw agent workspaces.
Solution: Single-page dashboard showing real-time update status for all agents.
Key Features:
- Visual Git status (up-to-date, conflicts, pending updates)
- Auto-refresh every 30 seconds
- No backend required (client-side checks)
- Clean, responsive UI
Status: ✅ Production | Impact: Instant visibility, faster deployments
Problem: Managing agent quality metrics and tasks across multiple agents without centralized visibility.
Solution: Integrated system combining quality monitoring and visual task management.
Key Features:
- Real-time quality metrics (tokens, errors, audit stats)
- Kanban board for task tracking
- Automated data collection scripts
- Historical trend analysis
Status: ✅ Production | Impact: Proactive issue detection, organized workflow
Problem: No visibility into Claude API costs across agents; difficulty identifying optimization opportunities.
Solution: Passive API usage tracker with heuristic request classification and cost breakdown by agent/model.
Key Features:
- Automatic request classification (LOCAL_VIABLE, NEEDS_CLAUDE, EDGE_CASE)
- Interactive dashboard with cost breakdown by agent/model
- Weekly reports with optimization recommendations
- Daily metrics export
Status: ✅ Production | Impact: Data-driven cost optimization
Problem: Hardcoded agent maps in Hub dashboards fall out of sync with the real openclaw.json config — dead agents appear, new agents are missing.
Solution: Web panel showing all agents with name, emoji, model, and integrations. Lessons on keeping JS maps in sync with live config.
Key Features:
- Lists all active agents with emoji, model, and integration info
- Pattern for detecting stale/dead agent entries
- Safe add/remove workflow for keeping dashboards accurate
Status: ✅ Production | Impact: Accurate agent visibility, no stale UI entries
Problem: Google Workspace MCP reports "healthy" via mcporter list even when OAuth token is expired — agents fail silently with invalid_grant.
Solution: Documented the failure pattern, correct diagnosis steps, and fix procedure.
Key Features:
- Root cause:
healthyin mcporter ≠ valid auth token - Correct diagnostic: make a real API call, not just list tools
- Fix:
mcporter auth google-workspace --reset - Prevention: include a live test call in health checks
Status: ✅ Documented | Impact: Faster diagnosis, no more silent auth failures
💬 Hub Chat
Problem: Internal multi-agent chat hub needed clean agent name parsing and real-time messaging.
Solution: Chat UI wired to agent sessions with IDENTITY.md parser that strips markdown formatting (bold markers, emoji normalization).
Key Features:
- Real-time messaging via SSE
- Agent selector with identity parsing
- Bug fix:
**stripped from names before display - Dark theme, mobile-friendly
Status: ✅ Production | Impact: Clean agent names, stable chat sessions
Problem: Agents need a structured, extensible system to manage and query contact information with rich metadata (roles, access levels, medical history, organizational context).
Solution: JSONL-based contact database with a robust bash management tool for add/edit/get/list operations, safe backups, and JSON validation.
Key Features:
- JSONL format (compatible with jq, Python, Node.js, databases)
- Rich contact schema: roles, access levels, context preferences, metadata
- Bash management tool (
contact-update) with safe edits and auto-backups - Medical context support (allergies, diagnoses, medications in notes)
- Multi-agent integration ready (shared file, reusable patterns)
Status: ✅ Production | Impact: Structured contact management, supports medical context, easy agent integration
🎓 SimCert — Certificate Generator (separate repo)
Problem: SimAcademy and Asesores en Emergencias needed a way to issue verifiable PDF certificates for courses — without Moodle or paid SaaS.
Solution: Standalone Node.js microservice with PDF generation, public verification via QR, and a full admin web panel.
Key Features:
- Rasterization-based PDF engine: overlays participant data pixel-perfect on any PDF template
- Public verification at
https://verify.medexpert.mx/verify/{hash}(Cloudflare Tunnel → Pi) - Admin panel at
https://cert.medexpert.mxwith multi-user auth (admin/emisor roles) - Batch generation from CSV or paste from Google Sheets
- Certificate preview before batch emit
- Email delivery via SMTP
- SQLite — zero-config, ≤50 certs/month target
Tech Stack: Node.js + Express + better-sqlite3 + pdf-lib + Pillow (Python rasterizer) + express-session
Deployment: Raspberry Pi (ARM64) behind Cloudflare Tunnel. No additional infrastructure cost.
Status: ✅ Production (2026-03-18) | Impact: Full cert lifecycle, verifiable by anyone with the URL
