Config Guardian

Overview

For Agent use only. Safe config updates with automatic backup, validation, and rollback. Prevents the agent from updating non-existent keys or invalid values.

When to Use

Use this skill every time you need to update

openclaw.json

. Prevents:

Updating non-existent config keys
Using invalid values
Breaking the gateway with bad config

Workflow: Atomic Apply (Default)

For all config changes - handles everything in one command:

./scripts/atomic_apply.sh <config_path> <new_value>
# Example: ./scripts/atomic_apply.sh "agents.defaults.model.primary" "minimax-portal/MiniMax-M2.5"

What it does:

Creates timestamped backup automatically
Applies change via
```
openclaw config set <path> <value>
```
Validates with
```
openclaw doctor --non-interactive
```
Auto-rollback if validation fails
Trap ensures rollback even on crash

Backup location:

~/.openclaw/config-guardian-backups/

Guardrails

Never restart or apply config without explicit user approval
Always use
```
atomic_apply.sh
```
If validation fails -> config auto-rolled back, don't force it

Scripts

Script	Purpose
`atomic_apply.sh`	Default - all-in-one safe apply
`validate_config.sh`	Validate via OpenClaw doctor
`restore_config.sh`	Manual restore from backup
