# OpenClaw Adapter

Use the OpenClaw adapter for configuration-driven agents that need rich tools, browser automation, or long-running workflows.

## Manifest

```yaml theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
runtime:
  adapter:
    type: "openclaw"
  mode: "full"
```

For always-on agents:

```yaml theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
runtime:
  lifecycle: "daemon"
```

## Best For

* Browser-heavy agents.
* Tool-rich automation.
* Skills and MCP integrations.
* Daemon agents that need a persistent workspace.

## Runtime Notes

OpenClaw agents usually need the full runtime because they may depend on browser or system-level tooling.

## Operational Notes

* Test with `charm validate` before publishing.
* Use daemon lifecycle only when persistent execution is required.
* Keep secrets in environment variables.
* Document any external accounts or OAuth providers the agent needs.
