Refine and Rebase OpenClaw Adapter IntegrationPublic

The user aimed to integrate and refine OpenClaw adapter support within their project, ensuring accurate session handling and metadata parsing across channels. The work included fixing directory misclassification bugs, rebasing the OpenClaw branch onto the latest main branch, updating the share skill with new key handling, and improving message parsing to strip unwanted metadata generically. The final outcome was a clean, tested, and rebased OpenClaw adapter branch ready for a pull request.

create a new worktree for openclaw adapter using the new worktree skill

Using the git-worktree skill for this since you asked for it explicitly. I’m opening the skill instructions and checking the repo’s current branch state before creating the openclaw worktree.

Ran command

The worktree naming pattern in this repo uses feat/<adapter>-adapter for new adapters, so I’m checking whether feat/openclaw-adapter already exists before creating it with the repo script.

Ran command

I’ve confirmed there isn’t already an openclaw worktree or branch. Next step is running the repo helper to create feat/openclaw-adapter from main, which will also symlink env files and install dependencies in the new checkout.

Ran command

The helper script has created the branch and worktree and is now finishing bun install inside the new checkout. I’m waiting for that to complete, then I’ll verify the branch and symlinked env files.

Ran command

Created the new worktree using the git-worktree skill flow on branch feat/openclaw-adapter at /Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces-worktrees/feat-openclaw-adapter.

bun install completed there, and api/.env.local, cli/.env.local, and frontend/.env.local are symlinked back to the main worktree. To start working: cd /Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces-worktrees/feat-openclaw-adapter. To remove it later: scripts/remove-worktree.sh feat-openclaw-adapter.

Lets create a new adapter for openclaw. please look at docs/adding-agents.md, and lets start implementing the adapter interface for openclaw. start by implementing the stub, making sure all the tests fail. and then start doign the implementation.

I’m treating this as a repo change in the new openclaw worktree. First I’m reading the adapter onboarding doc and locating the existing adapter interface, tests, and any required skill/template files so the implementation follows the project’s established pattern.

Ran command

I’ve got the repo context: adding a new agent touches packages/shared, the CLI adapter registry/types, and the runtime skill installation path. Next I’m narrowing to the existing adapter/test patterns and checking whether the repo already has any openclaw references or fixtures to build from.

Ran command

The stub and the OpenClaw-specific fixture/tests are in place. I’m wiring those into the shared contract suites and setup/install tests now, then I’ll run the targeted OpenClaw test set so we get the intentional red state before I replace the stub with real parsing.

Ran command

The OpenClaw surface is wired into the test suite now. I’m running only the OpenClaw-named tests first so we get a clean failing baseline from the stub instead of a wall of unrelated output.

Ran command

The pattern filter skipped the new file unexpectedly, so I’m switching to explicit file execution. That’s enough to confirm the expected red state from the stub without relying on Bun’s name filter.

Ran command

I’ve got the setup/install side green. Now I’m running the new OpenClaw adapter tests with explicit ./... paths so Bun actually picks them up; this should give us the expected failures from the stubbed adapter.

Ran command

The patch tool wrote into the main checkout instead of the feat-openclaw-adapter worktree because it’s anchored to the default repo root here. I’m copying the exact changes into the worktree paths now and then cleaning the accidental main-tree edits before I continue.

Ran command

I’ve isolated the accidental writes: they’re only in the OpenClaw-related files plus a few tracked files I intentionally edited, while the existing dirty cli/src/core/* files are unrelated and staying untouched. I’m syncing just the OpenClaw changes into the worktree and leaving the unrelated main-tree edits alone.

Ran command

The changes are now in the correct worktree. I’m rerunning the OpenClaw-focused adapter tests there; this is the real failing baseline we wanted before replacing the stub.

Ran command

I’m replacing the stub with a real JSONL adapter now. The implementation will use sessions.json for discovery, parse OpenClaw message/toolResult blocks into Traces events, derive cwd hints from session/tool arguments, and support cold reads plus file-tail subscriptions.

Ran command

The unit-level parser tests are green. I’m widening the verification now to the shared contract/watcher suites and the setup/install tests, but still scoped to the new OpenClaw surface so I can catch integration gaps without burning time on the entire CLI matrix yet.

Ran command

The OpenClaw integration path is green. I’m doing one broader pass across the full modified test files now so the registry/setup/contract changes don’t accidentally break another adapter while I’ve got the area open.

Ran command

Used Update Plan

Ran command

Creating the OpenClaw share-to-traces skill file is part of this change, so I’m pulling in the skill-creator skill before I write that asset. The adapter work stays in packages/shared + cli; I’m not touching frontend/logo wiring yet unless typechecks force it.

Ran command

I’ve finished the read phase. The edit pass is going to add a minimal OpenClawAdapter stub plus OpenClaw fixture-based tests in the CLI, wire the new agent ID into packages/shared and CLI types/registry/config, and add an installable share-to-traces SKILL asset + setup manifest for OpenClaw.

The first patch attempt missed a couple of exact anchors in existing test files, so nothing was committed. I’m redoing this in smaller, safer chunks: first the new files and type/registry wiring, then the contract/setup test updates, then I’ll run the failing test set before implementing the parser.
