Before a config fix: make the rollback point first
Config Mastery helps you compare and repair `openclaw.json`. If the edit could break a working setup, pair it with OpenClaw Safety Net so you have a verified backup, restore drill, and closeout note before changing real agent routes.
- Name the config symptom and the exact file or profile you plan to change.
- Snapshot the current working state before copying examples or changing provider/auth/tool settings.
- After the edit, run the smoke test from this pack and keep the restore path until one real agent task is back to green.
Good to know before you buy
- Pair with OpenClaw Safety Net before risky config edits if you also need a verified backup, restore drill, and rollback path.
- No support. You get the asset as-is.
- We’ll keep the playbook updated as OpenClaw evolves.
