OpenClaw Proper Usage#

Core Rule#

1. Clarify objective + output format
2. Pick one best tool/skill
3. Execute in scoped steps
4. Verify with concrete evidence
5. Report result + next action

Routing#

• Planning/strategy/analysis: gemini
• Web search: gemini
• Code review: gemini
• Code implementation/tests: Claude CLI (daedalus-code)

Subagent Pattern#

1. Split into 2–5 independent streams
2. Strict scope + expected output per stream
3. Launch, monitor, merge evidence-backed outputs only
4. Resolve conflicts explicitly

Commands#

sessions_spawn task:"<task+deliverable+constraints>" label:"" model:"azure-openai/gpt-4.1" thinking:"low" agents_list

Completion Contract#

Every task response must include: what changed, what ran, pass/fail, risks, next action.

Triage#

• Tiny: do it directly
• Ambiguous: clarify first
• Web-heavy: Gemini first
• Planning-heavy: Gemini first, Claude for implementation
• Broad: split → parallelize → merge
• Risky: plan + verify before edits
