# OpenClaw Manager (OCM)
-A zero-dependency local control panel for [OpenClaw](https://github.com/anthropics/openclaw). Manage agents, bindings, logs, commands, and rollback from your browser — no `npm install` required.
+A local control panel for [OpenClaw](https://github.com/anthropics/openclaw) that makes setup checks, agent management, health inspection, and recovery much easier — without living in JSON and terminal tabs all day.

-## Quick Start
+## Why OCM exists
-```bash
-# Clone
-git clone https://github.com/dtzp555-max/ocm.git
-cd ocm
+Running OpenClaw directly is powerful, but the day-to-day workflow can get messy fast:
-# Run (no npm install needed)
-bash start.sh # macOS / Linux
-start.bat # Windows
+- `openclaw.json` is easy to break by hand
+- agent / bot / channel bindings are hard to visualize
+- health checks, logs, restarts, and rollback are scattered across terminal commands
+- when something goes wrong, recovery is slower than it should be
-# Update
-git pull --ff-only
-```
+OCM gives you a **local control panel** for the things that become painful first:
+- seeing your current setup clearly
+- operating it more safely
+- recovering faster when something breaks
-Open [http://localhost:3333](http://localhost:3333) in your browser. For remote access, use `bash start.sh --host 0.0.0.0`.

+**OCM is a good fit if:**
+- you already run OpenClaw locally
+- you want a visual control panel for agents, routing, logs, health, and backups
+- you are tired of editing nested config by hand
+- you want safer rollback / recovery nearby
+**OCM is probably not the best starting point if:**
+- you have not installed OpenClaw yet
+- you expect every OS / channel workflow to be equally mature today
+- you want a hosted cloud dashboard instead of a local tool
-## Why OCM
+## What OCM helps you do
-OCM is best thought of as an **OpenClaw control panel**, not just a config editor.
+### 1) See your OpenClaw setup clearly
+- inspect agents and sub-agents in a tree
+- verify bindings and routing
+- view models, auth, usage, and health in one place
-It helps with three things that become painful fast in raw JSON / terminal workflows:
+### 2) Operate OpenClaw with less risk
+- restart gateway
+- inspect logs
+- run OpenClaw commands from the built-in terminal
+- make config changes with rollback nearby
-- **Agent topology** — see which agent is bound to which chat/channel/thread
-- **Everyday operations** — run CLI commands, inspect health/logs, restart gateway
-- **Safer changes** — update config with backups and rollback nearby
+### 3) Recover faster when things go wrong
+- browse backups / snapshots
+- roll back config safely
+- keep troubleshooting and operational tools close to the same UI

+## Quick Start (recommended path)

+```bash

+bash start.sh --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+## First-run checklist
+
+For a good first experience, do these first:
+
+1. Confirm OCM found the correct OpenClaw directory
+2. Open **Dashboard** and check gateway health
+3. Open **Agents** / **Channels** and inspect bindings
+4. Open the built-in **Terminal** and run one OpenClaw command
+5. Check **Actions** / backup / rollback so recovery is nearby before you need it
+
+## Current support status
+
+**Best supported today**
+- macOS / Linux
+- local OpenClaw installations
+- local health / logs / ops / backup workflows
+- Telegram-first agent management workflows
+
+**Supported, but not equally smooth in every case**
+- Discord agent / thread workflows
+- more advanced routing setups
+- mixed environment / service layouts
+
+**Not the primary path today**
+- fully beginner-first OpenClaw onboarding
+- every OS / shell / service combination
+- WhatsApp-heavy sub-agent topology workflows
+
+## Common friction points
+
+The most common reasons OCM feels rough are not usually “the UI is broken”, but environment mismatch:
+
+- OpenClaw itself is not fully healthy yet
+- wrong OpenClaw directory
+- path / permission issues
+- different service/runtime layouts across machines
+- channel workflow differences
+
+That is why OCM should be thought of as a **control panel for an existing OpenClaw setup**, not a magic replacement for all installation complexity.

## Channel Support
OCM is a local UI for OpenClaw. Core features like agent trees, routing, models/auth, ops, backups, and the built-in CLI are channel-agnostic.

## 中文说明
-OpenClaw Manager 是一个零依赖的本地 Web 管理界面,用于可视化管理 [OpenClaw](https://github.com/anthropics/openclaw) AI 智能体。所有代码在一个 `.js` 文件中,只需 Node.js 18+,不需要 `npm install`。
+OpenClaw Manager(OCM)是一个本地 OpenClaw 控制面板,用来更直观地管理 Agent、查看绑定关系、做健康检查、运行内置 CLI,并在改配置或排错时少踩坑。
+
+### OCM 解决什么问题
+
+直接使用 OpenClaw 很强,但日常维护很容易变成:
+- 改 `openclaw.json` 容易手滑
+- Agent / bot / 群 / 线程绑定关系很难一眼看清
+- 健康检查、日志、重启、回滚散落在多个终端命令里
+- 出问题时恢复链路不够顺手
+
+OCM 的定位不是替代 OpenClaw,而是给现有 OpenClaw 环境加一个**本地控制台**。
+
+### 适合谁
+
+**适合:**
+- 已经在本机跑通 OpenClaw 的用户
+- 想更直观地管理 Agent / Routing / Health / Logs / Backups 的用户
+- 不想频繁手改复杂 JSON 的用户
+
+**暂时不太适合:**
+- 还没装好 OpenClaw、希望 OCM 包办全部安装复杂度的新手
+- 默认期待所有平台 / 所有 channel 路线都同样成熟的用户
+- 想要云端托管产品而不是本地工具的用户
+
+### OCM 最有价值的三件事
+
+1. **看清你的 OpenClaw 结构**
+ - Agent 树、绑定关系、模型、认证、健康状态更直观
+2. **更安全地做运维操作**
+ - 重启 gateway、看日志、跑 CLI、改配置、回滚更顺手
+3. **出问题时恢复更快**
+ - 备份、回滚、排查入口都更近

+### 第一次使用建议先做这几步
-- **Agent 管理** — 添加主 Agent 和子 Agent,树状结构查看,内联切换模型,浏览工作区文件
-- **使用统计** — 从 OpenClaw 会话文件解析真实 Token 用量,按模型/Agent/日期维度展示
-- **模型与认证** — 管理注册模型列表,内置 Provider 认证引导
-- **内置终端** — 实时流式输出,预设命令,收藏夹,Tab 补全

+4. 打开内置 **Terminal** 跑一条 OpenClaw 命令
+5. 看一眼 **Actions / 备份 / 回滚**,确保恢复路径就在手边
-### Telegram 场景与安全提示
+### 当前支持定位
-OCM 主要面向 **Telegram 场景**:
+**目前最好用的场景:**
+- macOS / Linux
+- 本地 OpenClaw 环境
+- 本地 health / logs / ops / backup 工作流
+- Telegram-first 的 Agent 管理方式
-- 通过群组绑定主 Agent,并在每条树下管理多个 Sub-Agent
-- 让每个 Agent 拥有独立 `workspace`、`SOUL.md`、`MEMORY.md`
-- 通过可视化方式更新 `openclaw.json`,减少手动改配置风险
-- 建议使用者已具备基础 OpenClaw CLI 操作经验(如 `onboard`、认证、查看网关日志)
+**支持,但不保证同样顺滑:**
+- Discord workflow
+- 更复杂的 routing / service 布局
+- 混合环境
-关键安全设置(务必确认):
+### 文档
-- BotFather 里 **Allow Groups = ON**
-- BotFather 里 **Group Privacy = OFF**
-- 每个 Agent 群组只保留“你自己 + 对应 Agent/Sub-Agent”
-- 不要邀请其他人进组(会带来安全和 API 费用风险)
-
-### 配置
-
-启动脚本自动检测 `~/.openclaw` 目录。如需指定其他路径:
-
-```bash
-bash start.sh --dir /path/to/.openclaw --port 8080
-```
-
-也可手动创建 `manager-config.json`:
-
-```json
-{ "dir": "~/.openclaw" }
-```
-
-
-## Discord (thread-first) notes
-
-- Recommended: keep top-level agents in dedicated channels, and bind sub-agents to **threads** (one thread per task).
-- To switch a Telegram group / Discord thread binding: go to **Routing** → remove the old binding → add a new binding with the new ID/link.

+# OCM Screenshot Refresh Brief
+
+Goal: refresh only the highest-value README screenshots first, not every screenshot.
+
+## Redaction rules
+Always hide or blur:
+- Telegram / Discord IDs
+- bindings / peer IDs / thread IDs
+- local filesystem paths containing Tao's name
+- account labels if they expose personal identifiers
+- anything that looks like a secret/token
+
+## Priority 1 screenshots
+
+### 1) Dashboard hero
+Purpose:
+- show OCM as a real control panel
+- support the README first-run / health story
+
+Wanted state:
+- Dashboard page open
+- gateway looks healthy if possible
+- cards readable
+- top bar clean
+- no obvious warning/noise unless it helps credibility
+
+Frame guidance:
+- browser window wide enough to show full dashboard naturally
+- keep top navigation visible
+- avoid cropping too tightly
+
+### 2) Agents page
+Purpose:
+- show the core product value: visible agent topology / structure
+
+Wanted state:
+- main agent + several sub-agents visible
+- structure easy to understand at a glance
+- avoid visual clutter where possible
+- keep model selectors/buttons visible, but not the focus
+
+Frame guidance:
+- enough width to show the tree clearly
+- IDs and personal paths redacted
+
+### 3) CLI / Terminal page
+Purpose:
+- show that OCM is not only a viewer; it can operate OpenClaw too
+
+Wanted state:
+- built-in terminal open
+- a real command visible (recommended: `openclaw status` or `openclaw doctor`)
+- real output visible
+- do not use tutorial arrows / annotation bubbles
+
+Frame guidance:
+- include command input and some output
+- avoid empty terminal state
+- redact paths / personal names
+
+## Priority 2 screenshots
+- Actions menu
+- Backup / rollback
+- Channels
+- Models
+- Auth
+- Cron
+- Stats
+
+## Selected refresh set (2026-03-07)
+- Dashboard: `docs/redacted-screenshots-refresh/dashboard-2026-03-07.jpg`
+- Agents: `docs/redacted-screenshots-refresh/agents-2026-03-07.jpg`
+- CLI: `docs/redacted-screenshots-refresh/cli-2026-03-07.jpg`
+- Keep using existing `docs/redacted-screenshots/actions.jpg` for now
+
+## Notes
+- Existing `actions.jpg` is already strong and can stay for now.
+- The new Dashboard and Agents captures are preferred for README hero/overview use.
+- The new CLI capture is preferred because it shows a real command and real output.
