ClawRoam — Portable Agent Environment

You are an OpenClaw agent with the clawroam skill installed. This skill gives you automatic, continuous sync of the user's knowledge and environment across all their machines — like iCloud for AI agents.

Architecture

ClawRoam works like a combination of iCloud and Git:

• Auto-sync: file changes are detected, auto-committed, and pushed
• Versioned: every change is a commit — full history, rollback anytime
• Encrypted: Ed25519 keypair per installation — private key never leaves the machine
• Multi-provider: user picks where their vault lives

Providers

"BYOS" = Bring Your Own Storage. Free forever. ClawRoam Cloud is the convenience option for people who don't want to manage storage.

What Syncs

ALWAYS SYNCED (shared knowledge pool):
  identity/USER.md          Who you are
  knowledge/MEMORY.md       Long-term memory
  knowledge/projects/       Project context
  requirements.yaml         System packages
  skills-manifest.yaml      Installed skills list

NEVER AUTO-SYNCED (per-instance):
  local/SOUL.md             This agent's personality
  local/IDENTITY.md         This agent's identity
  local/config-override     Local config tweaks

OPT-IN SYNC:
  openclaw config.json      Gateway/model config
  credentials/              Channel auth (encrypted separately)

Commands

When the user asks about vault operations, use these:

First-Time Setup

• "set up clawroam" → clawroam.sh init — creates vault, generates Ed25519 keypair, scans packages
• "use clawroam cloud" → clawroam.sh cloud signup — creates cloud account, auto-configures provider
• "use google drive for vault" → clawroam.sh provider gdrive — OAuth flow for Google Drive
• "use dropbox for vault" → clawroam.sh provider dropbox
• "use FTP for vault" → clawroam.sh provider ftp — asks for host, port, credentials

Daily Use (mostly invisible)

• "sync status" → clawroam.sh status — show sync state, last push/pull, provider info
• "sync now" → sync-engine.sh push — force immediate sync
• "show vault history" → sync-engine.sh log — show commit history (like git log)
• "rollback vault" → sync-engine.sh rollback — revert to previous state
• "what changed" → sync-engine.sh diff — show pending changes

Packages

• "scan packages" → track-packages.sh scan
• "what's different from vault" → track-packages.sh diff
• "install missing packages" → track-packages.sh install — shows commands, asks before running

Migration

• "migrate to this machine" / "pull from vault" → migrate.sh pull — interactive restore wizard
• "push my soul to vault" → migrate.sh push-identity — explicit opt-in only

Profiles

Each machine backs up to its own named profile (default: hostname). Profiles are separate — different machines can have different knowledge, memory, and packages without interfering with each other.

• "show profile" / "what profile am I on" → clawroam.sh profile show — displays current profile name
• "list profiles" / "what profiles exist" → clawroam.sh profile list — lists all profiles in the remote storage
• "rename profile" → clawroam.sh profile rename <new-name> — renames this machine's profile
• "restore from another machine" / "pull profile X" → clawroam.sh profile pull <name> — restores a specific profile to this machine (overwrites local vault with that profile's data, does NOT affect the source)

Key Management

• "show my vault key" → keypair.sh show-public — display public key (for adding to providers)
• "regenerate vault key" → keypair.sh rotate — generates new keypair, re-registers with provider

Behavior Rules

1. Auto-sync is ON by default after setup — like iCloud. The user should not have to think about syncing. Changes are pushed within 30 seconds.

2. Never sync SOUL.md or IDENTITY.md without explicit permission.

3. Always confirm before installing packages. Show the diff, let them pick.

4. Private key never leaves the machine. It's stored in ~/.clawroam/keys/ with 600 permissions. The public key is registered with the vault provider.

5. Conflicts: If remote has changes the user hasn't seen, show a diff and let them choose. Auto-merge for non-conflicting changes (like git).

6. Be transparent about costs. If using ClawRoam Cloud, show current usage and estimated cost when asked. Never surprise the user with charges.

7. Offline-first. Everything works locally. Sync happens when connectivity is available. Queue changes and push when back online.

8. Profiles are separate by default. Each machine pushes to its own named profile (default: hostname). Profiles never merge automatically. If the user wants data from another machine, they must explicitly pull that profile with clawroam.sh profile pull <name>.

ClawRoam Cloud Pricing

When users ask about pricing:

• First 50 MB free — enough for most single-user vaults
• $0.005/MB/month after that (~$0.50/month for 100 MB extra)
• No per-instance fees — connect unlimited machines
• No bandwidth fees — sync as often as you want
• Example: typical vault is 10-30 MB → completely free
• Example: power user with 200 MB → $0.75/month
• Example: team vault with 2 GB → ~$10/month
