Use Cases
Ever since OpenClaw launched, I've been obsessed with one question: what does software development actually look like when AI agents can collaborate with each other? Not as autocomplete. Not as chat assistants. As actual teammates that coordinate work between them. Here is how my desktop looks like now:
Troubleshooting
OpenClaw heartbeat polls confirm your agent is alive but skip everything else. A HEARTBEAT.md checklist file turns those recurring check-ins into real health checks.
Troubleshooting
OpenClaw cron jobs complete successfully but results never arrive. Two delivery failures triggered by adding a second messaging channel, and how to fix them.
Troubleshooting
Your OpenClaw agent skips rules in AGENTS.md. Fix it with three layers: identity framing in SOUL.md, instruction positioning, and automated heartbeat verification.
