What is Boot Camp?
Boot Camp is a foundational utility designed to bridge the gap between an AI agent's knowledge and your specific CLI environment. Many agents struggle with command syntax or outdated flag information; this skill solves that by performing deep discovery of your installed Openclaw environment. By generating a local reference file, it ensures your agent has a ground-truth source for all available commands, subcommands, and flags.
This tool is an essential addition to any library of Openclaw Skills, as it directly reduces token waste caused by trial-and-error command execution. Whether you are running a vanilla installation or a heavily customized setup, Boot Camp creates a tailored map for your AI to follow.
Boot Camp Use Cases
- Preventing AI agents from hallucinating non-existent CLI flags or subcommands.
- Onboarding new AI agents to a custom Openclaw environment.
- Updating reference documentation after a major Openclaw version upgrade.
- Reducing token costs by providing clear, local context for CLI operations.
How Boot Camp Works
- The script initiates a discovery process by probing the Openclaw binary in your PATH.
- It recursively executes help commands to map out every top-level command and its associated subcommands.
- The tool identifies supported flags and checks for specific capabilities like JSON output support.
- Optionally, it crawls official documentation to enrich local data with tips and external links.
- It compiles all discovered data into a structured Markdown file located in the agent's workspace.
Boot Camp Setup
To get started with Boot Camp, ensure Openclaw is in your PATH and you are using Bash 4+. Run the following command:
bash bootcamp.sh
For automated environments or CI/CD pipelines, use the non-interactive flags:
bash bootcamp.sh --yes --enrich
Boot Camp Data Schema & Taxonomy
Boot Camp generates a persistent reference file at ~/.openclaw/workspace/notes/openclaw-cli-reference.md. The data is organized as follows:
| Data Point | Description |
|---|---|
| Commands | Full list of top-level Openclaw commands and descriptions. |
| Subcommands | Hierarchical mapping of nested CLI actions. |
| Flags | Detailed list of arguments and parameters for each command. |
| JSON Support | Metadata indicating which commands support machine-readable output. |
| Tips/Gotchas | Contextual advice and documentation links (in Enrich mode). |
Boot Camp Advanced Features
- Local + Enrich Mode: Combines local discovery with real-time documentation scraping for the most comprehensive reference.
- Version Management: Smart detection of existing docs with options to overwrite or maintain side-by-side versions.
- Non-Interactive Mode: Full CLI support for headless configuration via the --yes flag.
- Zero-Dependency Design: Requires only Bash 4+, making it compatible with almost any Linux/macOS environment using Openclaw Skills.
