Diagnose and fix gateway token mismatches causing 401 errors. Align tokens across config, service, and CLI surfaces.
Diagnose and fix gateway token mismatches causing 401 errors. Align tokens across config, service, and CLI surfaces.
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.
Diagnose and fix 401 errors from token mismatches.
Gateway token inconsistencies cause: 401 Unauthorized errors CLI/UI authentication failures Service startup failures Silent auth degradation

CriteriaVerificationAll tokens alignedauth == remote == serviceGateway respondsopenclaw gateway status succeedsCLI auth worksopenclaw whoami returns userNo 401 in logsSelect-String "401" logs returns nothing
Never log actual token values Redact tokens in output (show first 4 chars only) Store tokens only in config files
Use when: 401 errors appear Gateway restart after config change CLI shows auth mismatch Service fails to start Align tokens. Restore access.
