สถาปัตยกรรมหลัก

Messaging channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Discord, Slack, ...)

Gateway คือ control plane — จัดการ sessions, channels, tools, events ทั้งหมด รันเป็น daemon (launchd/systemd)

Channels ที่รองรับ

WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, BlueBubbles, IRC, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, Feishu, LINE, Mattermost, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, Synology Chat, Tlon, Twitch, Zalo, WeChat, QQ, WebChat, macOS, iOS/Android

Schema Files — Identity ของ Agent

ไฟล์	หน้าที่
AGENTS.md	บอก agent ว่าตัวเองคือใครและ behave อย่างไร
SOUL.md	personality และ values
TOOLS.md	tools ที่ agent มีสิทธิ์ใช้
skills/<skill>/SKILL.md	skill-specific instructions

Pattern เดียวกับ CLAUDE.md ใน wiki นี้ — persistent text files บอก LLM ว่าควร behave อย่างไรข้าม sessions

Security Model

• DM pairing — unknown senders ได้รับ pairing code, bot ไม่ process จนกว่าจะ approve
• Sandbox — non-main sessions รัน Docker sandbox, tool access ถูก restrict
• openclaw doctor — ตรวจสอบ misconfigured DM policies

🇬🇧 English

Personal AI assistant that runs a local Gateway on your own machine, responding through whatever messaging channels you already use — single-user, always-on, local-first.

Core Architecture

Messaging channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Discord, Slack, ...)
           ↓  ↓  ↓  ↓  ↓
        [ Gateway ] ← local daemon running on your machine
           ↓
     [ Agent(s) ] ← your chosen LLM API
           ↓
    Tools / Skills / Canvas

The Gateway is the control plane — it manages sessions, channels, tools, and events. It runs as a local daemon (launchd on macOS, systemd on Linux), not a cloud service. No conversation data leaves your machine unless you explicitly configure it to.

Supported Channels (25+)

WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, BlueBubbles, IRC, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, Feishu, LINE, Mattermost, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, Synology Chat, Tlon, Twitch, Zalo, WeChat, QQ, WebChat, macOS, iOS/Android

Agent Identity: Schema Files

OpenClaw uses files in ~/.openclaw/workspace/ as persistent instructions across all sessions:

File	Purpose
AGENTS.md	Who the agent is and how it should behave
SOUL.md	Agent personality and values
TOOLS.md	Which tools the agent has permission to use
skills/<skill>/SKILL.md	Skill-specific instructions

This is structurally identical to CLAUDE.md in this wiki — a persistent text file telling the LLM how to behave in a specific context. The same schema file pattern appears across LLM Wiki Pattern, OpenClaw, and TradingView MCP.

Multi-Agent Routing

Multiple agents can be configured on a single Gateway, each isolated with its own workspace and sessions. A personal channel can route to one agent while a work channel routes to a separate, sandboxed agent — preventing context cross-contamination.

Security Model

• DM pairing (default) — unknown senders receive a pairing code; the bot ignores messages until approved
• Docker sandbox — non-main sessions run in a Docker sandbox with restricted tool access
• openclaw doctor — diagnoses misconfigured DM policies

Setup

npm install -g openclaw@latest
openclaw onboard --install-daemon   # recommended: guided setup

Requires Node 24+ (Node 22.16+ also supported). Windows users should use WSL2.
