What this skill does
OpenClaw Relay Use this when the job is: "talk to Molty" "relay this into an OpenClaw channel session" "use acpx" "send this through the gateway via acp" "work through a remote OpenClaw bridge over SSH" Not for team.openclaw.ai: starting or inspecting Roboclaw sessions on the Team server is $team-handoff from openclaw/agent-skills (one Gateway request as Peter through Cloudflare Access; operator values live in ~/.config/openclaw/team-handoff.env). One skill. Two transports: 1. local 2. ssh Default to local for direct telephone-game work from the current OpenClaw checkout. Use ssh when the target agent/session lives on another machine. For Peter's setup, Molty normally lives on the Mac Studio gateway, reached as steipete@steipete-macstudio.local; avoid the mac-studio SSH alias for one-shot relay work because that alias auto-attaches tmux. Script path: scripts/openclawrelay.py Target aliases file: config/sessionaliases.json Mode Selection Choose local when: the user explicitly says acpx the target session is on the current machine the goal is quick relay or private ask Choose ssh when: the target agent/session lives on another host you want a persistent bridge session you need async queue/wait/show flows on a remote machine Defaults The script avoids baked-in personal paths. Override with env or flags when needed. …
