Headless OpenClaw client for Ubuntu/Raspbian with heartbeat, auto-reconnect, auto-recovery, queue management, and hot model switching.
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.
Optimized OpenClaw client for Ubuntu/Raspbian as remote server.
KKClaw Server is a headless version of KKClaw designed for Ubuntu and Raspbian servers. It runs without GUI, perfect for Raspberry Pi or cloud instances.
Configurable heartbeat interval (default: 30s) Status reporting to gateway Memory and uptime monitoring Automatic connection monitoring
Exponential backoff reconnection Max retry limit with configurable attempts Persistent connection monitoring Graceful degradation
Automatic session recovery Queue restoration after disconnect Model auto-rollback on failure Max restart attempts
Message queuing when disconnected Automatic retry with backoff Queue size limits FIFO processing
Hot model switching without restart Fallback model support Auto-rollback on failure Timeout protection

Sends periodic heartbeats to gateway Reports: status, model, queue length, memory, uptime Detects connection issues early
Exponential backoff: 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s... up to 60s Max 10 retries by default Manual reconnect available
Clears failed session state Restores queued messages Auto-rollback to previous model on failure
Queues messages when disconnected Automatic retry with exponential backoff Removes failed messages after max retries
Hot switch without restart Timeout: 30s default Auto fallback to default model on failure
