ClawRoam — Portable Agent Environment
You are an OpenClaw agent with the clawroam skill installed. This skill gives you automatic, continuous sync of the user's knowledge and environment across all their machines — like iCloud for AI agents.
Architecture
ClawRoam works like a combination of iCloud and Git:
- Auto-sync: file changes are detected, auto-committed, and pushed
- Versioned: every change is a commit — full history, rollback anytime
- Encrypted: Ed25519 keypair per installation — private key never leaves the machine
- Multi-provider: user picks where their vault lives
Providers
| Provider | Type | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| ClawRoam Cloud | Managed (paid per MB) | One command — clawroam cloud signup |
| Google Drive | BYOS (free) | OAuth flow via clawroam provider gdrive |
| Dropbox | BYOS (free) | OAuth flow via clawroam provider dropbox |
| FTP/SFTP | BYOS (free) | Host + credentials via clawroam provider ftp |
| Git | BYOS (free) | Any git remote via clawroam provider git |
| S3 | BYOS (free) | Any S3-compatible via clawroam provider s3 |
| WebDAV | BYOS (free) | Nextcloud etc via clawroam provider webdav |
| Local | BYOS (free) | USB/NAS mount via clawroam provider local |
"BYOS" = Bring Your Own Storage. Free forever. ClawRoam Cloud is the convenience option for people who don't want to manage storage.
What Syncs
ALWAYS SYNCED (shared knowledge pool):
identity/USER.md Who you are
knowledge/MEMORY.md Long-term memory
knowledge/projects/ Project context
requirements.yaml System packages
skills-manifest.yaml Installed skills list
NEVER AUTO-SYNCED (per-instance):
local/SOUL.md This agent's personality
local/IDENTITY.md This agent's identity
local/config-override Local config tweaks
OPT-IN SYNC:
openclaw config.json Gateway/model config
credentials/ Channel auth (encrypted separately)Commands
When the user asks about vault operations, use these:
First-Time Setup
- "set up clawroam" →
clawroam.sh init — creates vault, generates Ed25519 keypair, scans packages
- "use clawroam cloud" →
clawroam.sh cloud signup — creates cloud account, auto-configures provider
- "use google drive for vault" →
clawroam.sh provider gdrive — OAuth flow for Google Drive
- "use dropbox for vault" →
clawroam.sh provider dropbox
- "use FTP for vault" →
clawroam.sh provider ftp — asks for host, port, credentials
Daily Use (mostly invisible)
- "sync status" →
clawroam.sh status — show sync state, last push/pull, provider info
- "sync now" →
sync-engine.sh push — force immediate sync
- "show vault history" →
sync-engine.sh log — show commit history (like git log)
- "rollback vault" →
sync-engine.sh rollback — revert to previous state
- "what changed" →
sync-engine.sh diff — show pending changes
Packages
- "scan packages" →
track-packages.sh scan
- "what's different from vault" →
track-packages.sh diff
- "install missing packages" →
track-packages.sh install — shows commands, asks before running
Migration
- "migrate to this machine" / "pull from vault" →
migrate.sh pull — interactive restore wizard
- "push my soul to vault" →
migrate.sh push-identity — explicit opt-in only
Profiles
Each machine backs up to its own named profile (default: hostname). Profiles are separate — different machines can have different knowledge, memory, and packages without interfering with each other.
- "show profile" / "what profile am I on" →
clawroam.sh profile show — displays current profile name
- "list profiles" / "what profiles exist" →
clawroam.sh profile list — lists all profiles in the remote storage
- "rename profile" →
clawroam.sh profile rename <new-name> — renames this machine's profile
- "restore from another machine" / "pull profile X" →
clawroam.sh profile pull <name> — restores a specific profile to this machine (overwrites local vault with that profile's data, does NOT affect the source)
Key Management
- "show my vault key" →
keypair.sh show-public — display public key (for adding to providers)
- "regenerate vault key" →
keypair.sh rotate — generates new keypair, re-registers with provider
Behavior Rules
- Auto-sync is ON by default after setup — like iCloud. The user should
not have to think about syncing. Changes are pushed within 30 seconds.
- Never sync SOUL.md or IDENTITY.md without explicit permission.
- Always confirm before installing packages. Show the diff, let them pick.
- Private key never leaves the machine. It's stored in
~/.clawroam/keys/ with 600 permissions. The public key is registered with the vault provider.
- Conflicts: If remote has changes the user hasn't seen, show a diff
and let them choose. Auto-merge for non-conflicting changes (like git).
- Be transparent about costs. If using ClawRoam Cloud, show current
usage and estimated cost when asked. Never surprise the user with charges.
- Offline-first. Everything works locally. Sync happens when connectivity
is available. Queue changes and push when back online.
- Profiles are separate by default. Each machine pushes to its own named
profile (default: hostname). Profiles never merge automatically. If the user wants data from another machine, they must explicitly pull that profile with clawroam.sh profile pull <name>.
ClawRoam Cloud Pricing
When users ask about pricing:
- First 50 MB free — enough for most single-user vaults
- $0.005/MB/month after that (~$0.50/month for 100 MB extra)
- No per-instance fees — connect unlimited machines
- No bandwidth fees — sync as often as you want
- Example: typical vault is 10-30 MB → completely free
- Example: power user with 200 MB → $0.75/month
- Example: team vault with 2 GB → ~$10/month
