OpenClaw Boot Camp — Agent CLI Training#

Every OpenClaw agent wastes tokens fumbling with CLI syntax. The --help command is broken on most subcommands. Flags get guessed wrong. Commands that don't exist get tried.

Boot Camp fixes that by discovering your actual CLI commands and generating a clean reference your agent can read.

Usage#

bash

bash bootcamp.sh

Follow the wizard. Your agent gets a cheat sheet at ~/.openclaw/workspace/notes/openclaw-cli-reference.md.

Modes#

• Local Only (Quickest) — Discovers commands from your CLI. No internet, no API calls, no token cost.
• Local + Enrich (Recommended) — Local discovery + searches docs.openclaw.ai for your version. Still free.

What It Discovers#

• All top-level commands with descriptions
• Every subcommand per command
• Every flag per command
• Which commands support --json
• Doc links for key commands (Enrich mode)
• Tips and gotchas baked in

Non-Interactive Mode#

bash

bash bootcamp.sh --yes --enrich

Version Management#

Detects existing reference docs and offers to overwrite or keep both versions side-by-side.

Requirements#

• OpenClaw installed and in PATH
• Bash 4+
• No other dependencies
