**A curated list of resources for getting the most out of OpenClaw.** Skills, guides, talks, templates, tools, research. Contributions welcome — see [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md).

- **[Official "Getting Started" path](https://clawdocs.org/start)** — the minimum-viable setup. Read this first if you're brand new.

- **[memory-core](https://github.com/openclaw/memory-core)** — the built-in memory plugin with native dreaming (3 phases). Replaced the custom-autoDream patterns in v4.
- **[memory-lancedb](https://github.com/openclaw/memory-lancedb)** — LanceDB vector store. 2026.4.15-beta.1 added cloud storage mode.
- **Active Memory filters** — current builds support per-conversation `allowedChatIds` / `deniedChatIds`, partial recall on timeout, and people-aware wiki provenance views.
- **Meeting Notes plugin** — 2026.5.22 source-only external plugin for date-sharded meeting transcripts, manual imports, CLI reads, and Discord voice as the first live source. Define retention before enabling.
- **Meeting Notes plugin** — 2026.5.22 source-only external plugin for date-sharded meeting transcripts, manual imports, CLI reads, and Discord voice as the first live source. 2026.6.4 adds Google Meet live capture plus `meetingNotes.retentionDays`/redaction. Define retention before enabling.
- **Recall + dreaming tuning** — 2026.6.4 ships `memory promote --dry-run` (review what dreaming would promote before it mutates); 2026.6.11-beta.1 adds `memory.recall.maxParallel` and scheduled dreaming (`memory.dreaming.schedule`) so consolidation runs off-hours.
- **Generic embedding provider contract** — 2026.5.22 plugin SDK surface (`contracts.embeddingProviders`, `api.registerEmbeddingProvider`) that should make explicit OpenAI-compatible embedding providers cleaner.
- **[Ollama](https://ollama.com/)** — local embedding runtime. `qwen3-embedding:0.6b` is the right default for most setups.
- **[LightRAG](https://github.com/HKUDS/LightRAG)** — graph + vector hybrid RAG. The right upgrade once your vault crosses ~500 files. See [Part 18](./part18-lightrag-graph-rag.md).

## Observability & evaluation

- **OpenClaw native diagnostics** — late-May builds add sanitized `secrets.prepare` spans, bounded skill usage metrics, tool source/owner labels, Prometheus smoke aliases, and richer `tasks maintenance --json`.
- **Per-agent budget caps** — 2026.6.4 `agents.list[].budget` (`dailyUsd`/`monthlyUsd`, `onExceed: warn|degrade|stop`) turns cost governance into config instead of after-the-fact token-report reading. See [Part 33](./part33-late-april-2026-field-guide.md).
- **`/context map --diff`** — 2026.6.11-beta.1 compares the current prompt treemap against the previous run's snapshot to catch context regressions.
- **[LangFuse](https://langfuse.com/)** — the lightest-weight LLM tracing that actually works end-to-end with OpenClaw surfaces.
- **[OpenTelemetry LLM instrumentation](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/gen-ai/)** — the standards track. Pair with LangFuse or Grafana Tempo.
- **Canvas Model Auth status card** — built into 2026.4.15-beta.1+. The one dashboard you actually read every day.

- **[Task Brain](./part24-task-brain-control-plane.md)** — OpenClaw's control plane. Semantic approval categories, agent-initiated denies, unified task flow registry.
- **Approval policy reference** — [templates/openclaw.example.json](./templates/openclaw.example.json) ships with a starting-point policy block.
- **Policy plugin** — bundled in 2026.5.20. Run `openclaw policy check` for channel conformance checks, attestations, doctor findings, and opt-in repair.
- **Policy plugin** — bundled in 2026.5.20. Run `openclaw policy check` for channel conformance checks, attestations, doctor findings, and opt-in repair. 2026.6.4 adds `--export` attestations you can schedule and diff for drift gating.
- **Provider health checks** — 2026.6.4 `models.providers.<id>.health` adds interval probes with bounded automatic lane demotion, so a failing provider routes around itself instead of failing every turn.
- **Task maintenance JSON** — `openclaw tasks maintenance --json` now explains stale-running retention/reconcile decisions for cron, CLI, backing sessions, and wedged sub-agents.
