name: gateway-auto-fix description: Automatically monitor OpenClaw gateway status and fix when RPC probe fails. Uses OpenClaw cron system - just install and it works!

Gateway Auto-Fix Skill

Overview

This skill automatically monitors the OpenClaw gateway and fixes it when the RPC probe fails. It uses OpenClaw's built-in cron system for scheduling.

What It Does

1. Checks openclaw gateway status every minute
2. Detects "RPC probe: failed" in the output
3. Automatically runs:
   • openclaw doctor --fix to fix config issues
   • openclaw gateway restart to restart the gateway
4. Logs all actions to /tmp/openclaw-auto-fix.log

Quick Install (Automatic)

npx clawhub install gateway-auto-fix

That's it! The skill will:

• ✅ Add OpenClaw cron job (every 1 minute)
• ✅ Create the script
• ✅ Start monitoring
