3.2.1 Open AI Dock
Start from Agent Workspace in the left navigation or open a task from projects and conversations. OpenClaw conversations on the Board Agent page use a separate entry.
Before sending
- Project and folder: for file work, check whether the folder is local or on the board.
- Device: for device tasks, confirm the device label and online state. Knowledge questions and proposals can start without a device.
- Runtime: the composer shows Moss or DSH. Clicking the indicator opens settings, which only change the default for new tasks.
- Workflow: Execute acts; Plan analyzes without changes; Spec aligns requirements for approval first.
- Model and materials: select a model if needed and attach screenshots, logs, or files, then send.
First message
With a connected device:
Read-only: check the current device model, system, disk, memory, and network. List problems without changing configuration.
Without a connected device:
I have not connected a board yet. Explain what I can do now and give three example tasks for after connection.
After sending
Review answers, approval prompts, and actual results. Select “Open location” for Overview, Terminal, and Files. Open the message's more menu for existing execution records. If a task fails, keep its error details and add instructions to continue troubleshooting.
Create a task for an unrelated goal; continue the current conversation for the same goal. To use another runtime, change the default in settings and create a new task.
