Introduction and Glossary — What AI agents are, what ClawNanny is, an honest assessment of AI agents' probable impact on the labor economy, and definitions of terms used throughout this guide
Choose your agent backend — OpenClaw vs. Hermes Agent vs. Claude Code (OAUTH subscription) — what differs, how to switch, what happens to your data, which ClawNanny features are backend-specific
UI: Interact with your agent to assign it work — Sending messages, reading replies, Talk mode, session switching, image pasting, the context indicator, stopping the agent
UI: You're in charge! — Visibility, stopping the agent, scheduled task safeguards, skill consent, budget stops, your responsibilities — a direct answer to "What keeps it from going off the rails?"
UI: Sessions, focal points, context & memory — Managing your agent's current state of mind, a session as a conversation thread with a limited scope, starting and renaming a session, understanding the "context window" (knowledge basket), viewing a transcript, saving ("persisting") memories that sessions can share (continual learning)
UI: Knowledge capture — How memories are stored and retrieved; how you can view, search, and edit memory files
UI: Configuration — Adjusting your agent's behavior, form view vs. JSON editor, saving and applying changes
UI: Scheduled tasks — Setting up recurring tasks ("cron jobs"), reviewing run history, pausing and deleting tasks, practical guidelines for unattended automation
UI: Skills — What skills are, finding and installing them, the security scan, enabling and disabling skills, providing API keys for skills that need them
UI: Context state — How to view the state of the context window ("knowledge basket") for the current session
UI: Messaging channels — Connecting Telegram, WhatsApp, and other messaging apps so you can reach your agent without opening the dashboard
UI: Manage token costs — How AI billing works, reading cost summaries, setting budget limits
UI: Tokens & API keys — Managing API keys and authorization tokens
UI: Security — Ensuring the security of your data assets and protections against intrusion
UI: Health checks — A summary page showing the status of all of ClawNanny's system health checks
Bot manager: Local — Starting, stopping, and upgrading OpenClaw; connecting to a remote instance; workspace file management
Bot manager: Monitor security — How ClawNanny continuously monitors security
Bot manager: My devices — Which devices can connect with your agent
Bot manager: Test services — Prove which services are available
Bot manager: Microsoft Outlook — Configure how your agent interacts with Microsoft Outlook
Bot manager: Remote access — Managing remote access to services
Bot manager: System diagnostics — System diagnostics, the agent's console log, and connection Log — what and how to check when something isn't working
Language models — Configure preferences — Manage which language models you interact with and your priorities for each one
Workspace configuration files — SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, etc.
System Markdown documents — System Markdown documents
My Markdown documents — My Markdown documents (as opposed to the shared docs you can't edit)
Agent persona builder — How you give your agent one or more personalities to choose from, using sliders
Audit configuration and security — Monitoring all types of vulnerability to intrusion by unauthorized actors, naming specific attack surfaces, describing (or directly implementing) solutions
Audit for enterprise-level security — Configuration audit and enterprise-level security audit — what they check, how to read results, exporting reports
Common Questions — FAQ — Plain-English answers to the questions new clients ask most often
Telegram: one bot per device — Why Telegram messages stop arriving (or arrive twice) when two devices share one bot token, and how to fix it — the *409 Conflict* coaching page

Markdown documents list — Shared Markdown files
My documents in ~/.clawnanny/my_docs/ — My Markdown documents
"Amiga", the support agent — Ask Amiga anything about the system.
"Desi", the agentic capability designer — Desi will help you define a knowledge-workflow function. It interviews you about what you want, regardless of how uncertain you may be, to create a specification for a solution you seek. Generate agentic tasks or workflows based on the specification.
"Maestro" orchestrates an enterprise-grade agentic workflow — deploys multiple agents, each with its specialist role, collaborating in parallel — uses Desi's interview-me wizard *(coming in July 2026)*
"Cub", your agentic student — Watches what you do and repeats those steps (a workflow) on demand.
"Sneak" copies files between your machines — Copy a folder or file on machine A and paste it on machine B or vice versa.
Community Handbook of Educational Workflows (CHEWs) — Workflows are blueprints for useful work agents can do. Community members contribute projects they're working on to show others what they can do.
My workspaces — A workspace folder contains a significant scope of context to be reused by agents, like a codebase.
Context assembler builds a shareable knowledge basket — Bundle selected documents and code files into a single named basket to hand an agent as context.
Set up skills — Some skills have tool dependencies.
Agent persona builder — Design your agent's personality(ies) using sliders
