# Send Openclaw Gateway Fd Fix to your agent Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually. ## Fast path - Download the package from Yavira. - Extract it into a folder your agent can access. - Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder. ## Suggested prompts ### New install ```text 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. ``` ### Upgrade existing ```text 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. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "openclaw-gateway-fd-fix", "name": "Openclaw Gateway Fd Fix", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "通讯协作", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/thomaszhang2661/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/thomaszhang2661/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=openclaw-gateway-fd-fix", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "SKILL.md", "fix.sh" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-04-30T16:55:25.780Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-07T16:55:25.780Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=network", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=network", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"network-1.0.0.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null }, "scope": "source", "summary": "Source download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this source.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix" }, "validation": { "installChecklist": [ "Use the Yavira download entry.", "Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.", "Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets." ], "postInstallChecks": [ "Confirm the extracted package includes the expected docs or setup files.", "Validate the skill or prompts are available in your target agent workspace.", "Capture any manual follow-up steps the agent could not complete." ] } }, "links": { "detailUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### Problem OpenClaw Gateway crashes or hangs with these errors: spawn EBADF when running exec commands RPC probe failed / gateway timeout Logs show EMFILE: too many open files, watch Gateway process is running but unresponsive ### Root Cause The Gateway automatically watches all files under ~/.openclaw/workspace/ for changes. If you place virtual environments (.venv), node_modules, large datasets, or tens of thousands of small files inside workspace, the file watcher will exceed macOS's default file descriptor limit (256), causing the process to hang. ### Auto-Fix (Recommended) Run the one-click repair script: bash fix.sh What it does: Detects workspace file count Finds and removes unnecessary dependency directories (.venv, node_modules) inside workspace Backs up your existing LaunchAgent plist Updates LaunchAgent to set file descriptor limit to 524,288 Restarts the Gateway service Verifies service health ### Manual Fix Steps If you prefer to fix manually: Remove large directories from workspace: # Never put these inside ~/.openclaw/workspace/: rm -rf ~/.openclaw/workspace/*/.venv rm -rf ~/.openclaw/workspace/*/node_modules # Move datasets/models/venvs to ~/Downloads/ or /tmp/ Update LaunchAgent resource limits: Edit ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.openclaw.gateway.plist and add inside the root : HardResourceLimits NumberOfFiles 524288 SoftResourceLimits NumberOfFiles 524288 Restart Gateway: launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.openclaw.gateway.plist launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.openclaw.gateway.plist sleep 10 && openclaw gateway status ### Permanent Rule (NEVER BREAK) ✅ Do NOT put these inside ~/.openclaw/workspace/: Python virtual environments (.venv, venv) Node.js node_modules directories Large datasets (>1000 files) AI model weights (.pt, .bin, .pth files) Cache directories with thousands of small files ✅ Put these outside workspace: /tmp/, ~/Downloads/, or any directory outside ~/.openclaw/workspace/ ### Verification After fix, run: openclaw gateway status You should see RPC probe: ok in the output. ### Troubleshooting If fix fails: Check logs: tail -50 ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.err.log Verify no large directories remain in workspace: find ~/.openclaw/workspace -type f | wc -l (should be < 1000) Manually restart Gateway: openclaw gateway stop && openclaw gateway install ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: thomaszhang2661 - Version: 1.0.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Source download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this source. - Health scope: source - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-04-30T16:55:25.780Z - Expires at: 2026-05-07T16:55:25.780Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/openclaw-gateway-fd-fix)
