What it does
Openclaw Guardian is an agent skill from LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills. Deploy and manage a Guardian watchdog process for OpenClaw Gateway. Provides automated health monitoring, self-repair via doctor --fix, git-based workspace rollback, daily snapshots, and optional Discord alerting. Use when a user wants to harden their OpenClaw instance against crashes, config corruption, or bad workspace edits — or when setting up Guardian for the first time on a new server/container.
Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/setup.md` and `scripts/guardian.sh`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Git workflow. It works with Git, Discord and Linux. The repository describes itself as: 🧠 Curated collection of 1209+ best OpenClaw skills — weekly updated by MyClaw.ai. The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5199b5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
discord.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Openclaw Guardian loads about 634 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 179 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- description
- Deploy and manage a Guardian watchdog process for OpenClaw Gateway. Provides automated health monitoring, self-repair via `doctor --fix`, git-based workspace rollback, daily snapshots, and optional Discord alerting. Use when a user wants to harden their OpenClaw instance against crashes, config corruption, or bad workspace edits — or when setting up Guardian for the first time on a new server/container.
OpenClaw Guardian
Guardian is a standalone bash watchdog that keeps OpenClaw Gateway alive 24/7.
Repair ladder:
- Detect Gateway down (every 30s)
- Run
openclaw doctor --fix(up to 3 attempts) - If still down →
git reset --hardto last stable commit, restart Gateway - If all fails → cooldown 300s, resume monitoring
- Daily automatic git snapshot of workspace
Setup Steps
1. Initialize git (required for rollback)
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace
git config --global user.email "guardian@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Guardian"
git init && git add -A && git commit -m "initial"Skip if repo already exists. Without git, doctor --fix still works; rollback is skipped.
2. Install guardian.sh
Copy scripts/guardian.sh from this skill to ~/.openclaw/guardian.sh:
cp scripts/guardian.sh ~/.openclaw/guardian.sh
chmod +x ~/.openclaw/guardian.sh3. Start Guardian
Container / no systemd (nohup):
nohup ~/.openclaw/guardian.sh >> /tmp/openclaw-guardian.log 2>&1 &Linux VPS with systemd: See references/setup.md → Pattern B.
4. Auto-start on container restart
Add to ~/.openclaw/start-gateway.sh (before the final exec line):
pkill -f "guardian.sh" 2>/dev/null || true
nohup /home/ubuntu/.openclaw/guardian.sh >> /tmp/openclaw-guardian.log 2>&1 &5. Optional: Discord alerts
export DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL="https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."Or add to start-gateway.sh as a persistent export.
Verify
pgrep -a -f "guardian.sh" # confirm process running
tail -f /tmp/openclaw-guardian.log # watch live logsConfiguration
All settings via environment variables. Defaults work out of the box.
See references/setup.md for full variable reference, systemd config, and architecture diagram.
Notes
- Guardian coexists with
gw-watchdog.sh— run both for layered resilience - Rollback targets the 2nd-newest non-auto commit (skips daily-backup, rollback, auto-backup commits)
