After you establish the connection between openclaw and your coding harness (Claude code, codex, etc), what types of tasks do your agents send to it?

If your development project's code base is checked out into your openclaw agent's workspace, do you let your openclaw agent edit it, or do you have a standing rule to always delegate/leverage your coding harness?

Do you just send one shot jobs, or do your agents continue the conversation with the coding harness session?

Are you using the coding harness' planning mode? Or do you let openclaw do the planning? How about qa/verification?

I've tried multiple approaches, but I always feel like I'm shoving a round peg into a square hole.

Openclaw is a huge product in terms of capabilities. There are a few specific topics that I'm keenly interested in following closely - the changes/enhancements, the vision/roadmap, the ideation. How do I do that?

For instance, I'm pumped to see the new 'openclaw agents team create' capability, and want to follow it closely.

I have a male 10 month old black mouth cur. 52lbs. He's a good boy!

Recently was gifted a big beef bone, from a pet store. He loves his thing, but he will chew with molars until he breaks pieces off.

What's the consensus on bones?

After spinning up a new agent, building important context through chat, and performing a useful task, I'm often at a crossroads before I start a /new session:

1. let the new session use memory to figure out how to perform the task on subsequent runs.

2. instruct the agent to capture the process in a skill, and use the skill on subsequent runs.

Not sure I've ever seen a base openclaw agent proactively create a skill in the same way hermes-agent is designed to.

I want to bring consolidated portfolio data on to my computer. A Canadian bank+exchange, and of course wealthsimple.

Years ago, wealthica was about the only robust way to do this (export to Google sheets). And it is still an option.

Have any new players come to the scene?

My gawd, I just lost my whole day to upgrading to 2026.9.1-beta.1 from v2026.7.1. I had asked my OC agent to handle the upgrade, but when it came to a gateway restart, nothing came back up. Thank goodness I also have agy on the same box, as it was able to work through the multiple issues and get me running again.

Anyone else keep another harness installed for situations like this?

I probably need to RTFM again, but as I understand it there are 2 ways to define sub-agent. As an example, if I want to define a sub-agent that does research, I can:

Option 1) define a new agent + agent workspace in openclaw.json, defining which model to use (eg: deepseek). Create AGENTS.ms, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md USER.md, etc in the workspace. Finally, in my MAIN agent's config (eg: AGENTS.md), create a standing rule to always spawn this research agent for research tasks.

PRO: I have explicit control over the model config and the agent instructions.

CON: Inefficient. I don't need most of the openclaw agent bootstrap stuff, memory system, etc. Clunky. Any reports/artifacts written will be to the agent's sandboxed workspace, so sharing back to the main agent requires hoop-jumping.

Option 2) simply define the instructions for defining a research sub agent in my main agent's definition. For example, in AGENTS.md (or a SKILL): "For research tasks, spawn a subagent using deepseek-pro, and with the following system instruction [system instructions...]".

PRO: Simple. Artifacts land in the main agent's workspace.

CON: orchestrating agent needs to be trusted to set the correct model and faithfully apply the system instructions. Also feels like I'm making up my own way to do this.

For a research (or coding, etc) sub-agent, I want a deterministic way to set the model and system prompt. However it feels like I'm missing something that is lighter than option 1, and more robust than option 2.

Visiting from Canada, and totally unsure what to do in this heat. Yesterday spent the day in malls - meh, I didn't come here to shop. Evening was fun and delicious in the dongsomun-ro area. But now day 2. It's so damn hot and I feel like all we can do is go back to a mall (which I am not interested in) or find a museum (which my family is not interested in).

Any suggestions?

Edit: the National Museum turned out to be a fantastic activity. So beautiful, impressive, vast, and free! We love it

Currently traveling abroad. The day before we were flying out, our cat went missing. Heartbroken and convinced she is gone (bobcats and coyotes notorious here). City humane society website lists found cats, and she was not there. Told my OC agent (glm 5.1) the situation and it scheduled a regular check of the humane society listings and expanded the search to several relevant online forums. Days have gone by with no hits. Lost all hope.

This morning, I get a message from my OC agent, telling me there is a potential hit. I check myself and sure enough she has been found!

OC saved the day (again!)

I have OC running on an old laptop in the crawlspace of my remote cabin in the mountains. The cabin has a Ring security system with smoke/co Listener (listens for screaming from non-Ring smoke/co detectors). Reolink wifi cameras around the property.

Currently, I'm travelling abroad, with spotty internet connection. 6am my phone goes off with the Ring app telling me smoke has been detected and the alarm is screaming as a result. Unable the connect to the cameras to look. Unable to connect to the Ring system to disarm. I'm in the dark. Is my cabin on fire?

Enter my OC agent. Thankfully, I'm able to send and receive messages. Told it the situation. It grabbed snapshots from the wifi cameras and analyzed them to confirm no fire/smoke. It looked at my homeassistant temperature sensors to confirm everything is normal. It confirmed the Ring alarm was triggered by the smoke/co Listener, and was able to piece together all the facts that resulted in the situation (low battery in a co detector causing chirps that triggered the Ring smoke/co Listener). Everything is under control.

What a relief. I have a competent property manager living in my crawlspace.

Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Aider, and other "coding harnesses" can be controlled as subagents using OpenClaw.

In theory, instead of us sitting at keyboards in front of our IDEs to develop sophisticated projects, we can replace ourselves with OpenClaw, having it coordinate all the back and forth until quality and completeness milestones are met.

Is anyone doing this, and in practice does it work as good as it sounds?

I've got a floating line and standard tapered leader on my rod. I know there are situations where I would benefit from a sink tip leader or even a sinking fly line. The thought of changing out the leader while I'm in the water is pretty off-putting.

How do people quickly store the leaders they remove so it won't be a tangled mess later?

Do people carry extra reel spools with alternative line/leader configuration?

Is the choice of line a decision made at home before going out, or are these decisions made and changed in the water?

The cat "degloved" the end of her tail yesterday. Vet stitched her up (had to remove one tip section of the tail), bandaged, and put the cone on her.

In watching the cat, I can see that she is still able to get to the end of her tail and bite at the bandage. I'm to remove the bandages tomorrow, and I'm concerned she'll be able to tear out the stitches.

Do I somehow modify the cone to make it even bigger (and more uncomfortable), or do I use some other method to protect the stitched area?

Been using ollama cloud (Pro) for a few months (GLM 5.1). Never even came close to hitting my weekly quota. For the last ~2 weeks, however, I hit my weekly quota several days before it resets. I'm not actively using it any more than previously, and I'm still using the same model.

It could be a result of my agent project evolving/growing, which I'll look in to - but before I do, has anyone else noticed that ollama:cloud quota is disappearing at an accelerated pace?

Example:

I have my agent determine my fire center, and then check the authority website for any bulletins or fire bans. I did this simply by chatting the instruction to it.

Now I'm going to want to check for fire bans and bulletins frequently. To ensure consistency, do I create a skill that is this simple?
