Ring 1 of 7: Habitat43%
Ring 1 of 7
Habitat, use case
First, what's the habitat?
Ring 2 of 7
Shell hardness, safety posture
Choose your shell hardness. Most people want Mid Shell. Hard Shell is for power users who've read what it does.
Ring 3 of 7
Providers & Diet, budget posture
What are you feeding it?
Providers (select at least one)
Diet (budget posture)
Ring 4 of 7
Integrations, channels and tools
Each channel is a place messages can go. Choose carefully.
Channels (optional)
Ring 5 of 7
Memory, context and memory configuration
How much should load at session start, and where does memory live?
chars (default: 8000)
Rough estimate: 1 page of context ≈ 2000 chars. Default 8000 is 4 pages.
Must start with ~/ or /. Example: ~/Documents/Notes/
Memory plugin defaults (set by engine)
- Timeout: 8000ms minimum (prevents silent fallback to no-memory, SPEC C4)
- Plugin: openclaw-memory-openbrain (single plugin, no parallel memory systems, SPEC R7)
- Dreaming: disabled (opt-in only; prevents synthetic memory pollution, SPEC M1)
Ring 6 of 7
Permissions, tool allowlist and command policy
The engine computes your tool allowlist from your habitat and shell hardness. You can add custom block patterns here.
Engine-computed (from habitat + shell hardness)
- fs.workspaceOnly: always true (locked, SPEC S2)
- bash: enabled/scoped based on habitat + shell hardness
- logging.redactSensitive: always "all" (locked, SPEC S7)
- streaming.preview.toolProgress: always false for any external channel (locked, SPEC R5)
Commands matching these patterns require explicit approval. One regex per line.
Commands matching these patterns are blocked entirely, no approval possible.
