Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s177srkkxmx7m7nds44r8acpfd8551fd:clawnexus

Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

# ClawNexus

## Overview

ClawNexus is a naming and discovery layer for OpenClaw. It runs a local daemon that automatically discovers OpenClaw instances on your network and assigns them readable names, so you can refer to instances by alias (e.g., "home") instead of IP addresses.

Works across networks too — instances can register `.claw` names (like `home.alan.id.claw`) and connect via encrypted relay from anywhere.

## Prerequisites

```bash
# Install and start the daemon
npm install -g clawnexus
clawnexus start
```

## When NOT to Use

- Daemon not running → tell the user to run `clawnexus start` first
- User only has one OpenClaw instance and doesn't need discovery
- Cross-internet connections without a `.claw` name (use local LAN only)

## Commands

### List all known instances

```bash
curl -s http://localhost:17890/instances | jq '.instances[] | {name: (.alias // .auto_name), status, address}'
```

### Check a specific instance (by alias, auto_name, or address:port)

```bash
curl -s http://localhost:17890/instances/home
curl -s http://localhost:17890/instances/olivia
curl -s http://localhost:17890/instances/192.168.1.10:18789
```

### Scan the local network for OpenClaw instances

```bash
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:17890/scan
```

### Set a friendly alias for an instance

```bash
curl -s -X PUT http://localhost:17890/instances/olivia/alias \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"alias": "home"}'
```

### Get the WebSocket URL to connect to an instance

```bash
# Get address and port, then build URL
curl -s http://localhost:17890/instances/home | jq '"ws://\(.address):\(.gateway_port)"'
```

### Check daemon health

```bash
curl -s http://localhost:17890/health
```

### Resolve a .claw name (Registry, requires internet + v0.2+)

```bash
curl -s http://localhost:17890/resolve/myagent.id.claw
```

## Workflow: "Is home online?"

1. Check instances: `curl -s http://localhost:17890/instances`
2. Look for alias "home" in the response
3. If `status: "online"` → confirm to user
4. If not found → suggest scanning: `curl -X POST http://localhost:17890/scan`

## Workflow: "Connect me to raspi"

1. Resolve: `curl -s http://localhost:17890/instances/raspi`
2. Build URL: `ws://<address>:<gateway_port>`
3. Report URL to user for use with OpenClaw's gateway connect

## Troubleshooting

- **"Connection refused" on localhost:17890** → The ClawNexus daemon is not running. Tell the user to run `clawnexus start`.
- **No instances found** → The daemon may have just started. Run `curl -s -X POST http://localhost:17890/scan` to trigger a network scan, then retry listing.
- **Inst

skill-card.md

## Description:

Discover, name, and manage OpenClaw instances on your LAN. Scan for AI agents, check status, set aliases, resolve .claw names, and get connection URLs via the ClawNexus daemon.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[alan-stratcraftsai](https://clawhub.ai/user/alan-stratcraftsai)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers and operators use this skill to discover OpenClaw instances, check availability, assign aliases, resolve .claw names, and produce connection URLs through a local ClawNexus daemon.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: Installing and running an unpinned global daemon can execute publisher-controlled code with user-level access.

Mitigation: Install only a pinned, reviewed ClawNexus package from a trusted publisher and avoid sudo or administrator privileges.

Risk: LAN scanning can probe systems or networks where discovery is not authorized.

Mitigation: Run scans only on networks where the user has permission to discover OpenClaw instances.

Risk: The daemon persists discovered instance metadata in ~/.clawnexus/registry.json.

Mitigation: Treat the registry as local network metadata and clear it when the stored instance data is no longer needed.
