| OpenClaw CLI index: command list, global flags, and links to per-command pages |
|
CLI reference |
openclaw is the main CLI entry point. Each core command has either a
dedicated reference page or is documented with the command it aliases; this
index lists the commands, the global flags, and the output styling rules that
apply across the CLI.
Use the setup commands by intent:
openclaw setupcreates the baseline config and workspace without walking the full guided onboarding flow.openclaw onboardis the full guided first-run path for gateway, model auth, workspace, channels, skills, and health.openclaw configurechanges targeted parts of an existing setup, such as model auth, gateway, channels, plugins, or skills.openclaw channels addconfigures channel accounts after the baseline exists; run it without flags for guided channel setup or with channel-specific flags for scripts.

Global flags
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|---|
--dev |
Isolate state under ~/.openclaw-dev and shift default ports |
--profile <name> |
Isolate state under ~/.openclaw-<name> |
--container <name> |
Target a named container for execution |
--no-color |
Disable ANSI colors (NO_COLOR=1 is also respected) |
--update |
Shorthand for openclaw update (source installs only) |
-V, --version, -v |
Print version and exit |
Output modes
- ANSI colors and progress indicators render only in TTY sessions.
- OSC-8 hyperlinks render as clickable links where supported; otherwise the CLI falls back to plain URLs.
--json(and--plainwhere supported) disables styling for clean output.- Long-running commands show a progress indicator (OSC 9;4 when supported).
Palette source of truth: src/terminal/palette.ts.

Plugins can add additional top-level commands (for example openclaw voicecall).
Chat slash commands
Chat messages support /... commands. See slash commands.
Highlights:
/status— quick diagnostics./trace— session-scoped plugin trace/debug lines./config— persisted config changes./debug— runtime-only config overrides (memory, not disk; requirescommands.debug: true).
Usage tracking
openclaw status --usage and the Control UI surface provider usage/quota when
OAuth/API credentials are available. Data comes directly from provider usage
endpoints and is normalized to X% left. Providers with current usage
windows: Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, MiniMax,
Xiaomi, and z.ai.
See Usage tracking for details.
