Safe config change workflow for openclaw.json (backup + timed rollback + restart)
Safe config change workflow for openclaw.json (backup + timed rollback + restart)
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Use this skill before editing ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. It creates a timestamped backup, schedules a rollback job for 10 minutes later, and restores the backup if Gateway still cannot come up. Rollback auto-cancellation is available only if the workspace BOOT.md includes the bundled snippet from this skill and the boot-md hook is already installed.
Run skills/auto-rollback/auto-rollback.sh start --reason "what changed" Edit ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json Restart Gateway If Gateway becomes healthy, BOOT.md cancels the rollback If Gateway stays unhealthy, launchd executes the rollback script
skills/auto-rollback/auto-rollback.sh start --reason "update gateway bindings" Short form also works: skills/auto-rollback/auto-rollback.sh start "update gateway bindings"
skills/auto-rollback/auto-rollback.sh cancel
skills/auto-rollback/auto-rollback.sh status
This skill does not install the boot-md hook by itself. To enable automatic cancellation after a healthy restart: Ensure your OpenClaw workspace already has the boot-md hook installed. Merge skills/auto-rollback/BOOT.md into the workspace root BOOT.md. Without that integration, rollback still works, but you must cancel it manually after a successful restart.
Script: skills/auto-rollback/auto-rollback.sh BOOT snippet: skills/auto-rollback/BOOT.md Backups: ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS State: ~/.openclaw/state/rollback-pending.json Log: ~/.openclaw/logs/rollback.log launchd plist: ~/.openclaw/ai.openclaw.rollback.plist
If you want agents to always use this safety net, add an SOP rule in AGENTS.md that any openclaw.json change must run start first.
