Adding Models to OpenClaw

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

OpenClaw (also known as ClawdBot / MoltBot) supports multiple model providers. Here’s how to add new models or providers to your setup.

Add a New OpenRouter Model

First, find the model ID you want to add:

curl -s https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/models | python3 -c "import json,sys; [print(m['id']) for m in json.load(sys.stdin)['data']]" | grep -i <search-term>

Add the model to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under models.providers.openrouter.models:

{
  "id": "<author>/<model>",
  "name": "Display Name",
  "reasoning": false,
  "input": ["text"],
  "output": ["text"]
}

Add to the allowlist in agents.defaults.models:

Building Skills for LLM

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Start with Docs and Sample Code

Before writing a single line of skill instructions, gather your raw materials. Official docs, sample code, API references—anything the LLM can crawl and learn from.

This isn’t just context. It’s the foundation. The LLM needs to see how things actually work before you tell it how to work with them.

Skip this step and you’re building on sand. The skill might generate plausible-looking output, but it’ll hallucinate the details that matter.

Lessons from the LLM Age: Week 1 February 2026

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Loosely Coupled Specs

We used to build tight contracts—APIs, schemas, interfaces—because machines needed exact matches to talk to each other.

Now we write loose definitions, natural language hints, and let the LLM figure out the mapping. It’s fuzzy logic thinking applied to system design.

The glue isn’t code anymore. It’s context. LLMs bridge gaps that would’ve required weeks of integration work.

Being less precise paradoxically makes systems more resilient—they interpret intent instead of failing hard on mismatched types.

Lessons from the LLM Age: January 2026

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Everything is a Prompt Away

Most things are now a prompt. Code, essays, images. A junior and senior can produce the same artifact in the same time.

You can ship without understanding. The gap between “I made this” and “I understand this” has never been wider.

Hard Things Still Matter

When the easy path is always available, choosing hard becomes a statement.

LLMs can’t give you the 3am debugging sessions, the wrong turns that taught you why, the scar tissue from failing 50 times.

TrueNAS Multi-Report for HDD Health

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 09:00:00 +0800

Maintaining my home lab requires me to keep a constant eye on my drive health. On TrueNAS SCALE, one of my favorite tools for this is the Multi-Report script. However, I’ve found that updates can sometimes break dependencies. Here is a quick guide on how I get it running and keep it persistent.

1. The “Loophole” (Restoring bc after updates)

I’ve noticed that TrueNAS SCALE updates often reset the root filesystem protection. If my report fails because bc (the arbitrary precision calculator language) is missing, I run these commands in order to restore it:

Setting up Vibe Kanban on Ubuntu VM for Browser-Based AI Coding

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 13:00:00 +0800

Following my recent migration to Hugo, I’ve been looking for ways to streamline my development workflow, especially when working with AI tools. Today, I’m setting up Vibe Kanban on an Ubuntu VM. This setup allows for a browser-based AI coding environment that’s both flexible and powerful.

I’ll assume you already have SSH access to your Ubuntu VM. If not, you might want to check out my previous post on creating an Ubuntu VM.

Integrating Zoom Video SDK on Windows with WPF, Win32, and WinForms

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0800

Zoom Video SDK allows you to create fully customized video call experiences on desktop, mobile, and in web browsers. Today, let’s talk about the Windows side of things, specifically how to work with the C++ SDK and the specialized renderer.

Windows UI Frameworks and the Video SDK

The Zoom Video SDK for Windows is natively C++. This means if you’re using UI libraries that play nice with C++ (like duilib, GTK, or Qt), you’re in for an easy ride.

Integrating Zoom Video SDK on Linux with GTK and Qt

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0800

Zoom Video SDK allows you to create fully customized video call experiences on desktop, mobile, and in web browsers. Today, let’s take a look at how to integrate the Zoom Video SDK on Linux using UI frameworks like GTK and Qt.

Prerequisites

Before we dive in, make sure you have the following ready:

Your preferred code/text editor (I’m using VS Code, obviously).
A Linux Environment. I’m building this on Ubuntu, but it should be compatible with other distributions.
Video capture and sound playback devices.
A Zoom Video SDK Account. Note that headers and libraries aren’t included in the repo, so you’ll need to download them from marketplace.zoom.us.

Step 1: Clone the Scaffolding Project

Depending on your UI preference, clone either the Qt or GTK quickstart project from GitHub. I’ve actually got my own versions of these that you can use:

Migrating WeShipCode.com from WordPress to Hugo Using AI Tools in VS Code

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0800

Today, I decided to migrate my old WordPress site at weshipcode.com (over 1000 posts!) to Hugo, a fast static site generator. Instead of doing it manually, I used Cline (powered by xAI Code Fast 4.1 via OpenRouter) right inside VS Code. Combined with Gemini Flash for planning, this was a seamless experience using Plan Mode for strategy and Act Mode for execution.

The Planning Phase (Plan Mode)

Cline first explored the WordPress setup in /var/www/weshipcode:

Day 2 Supplement: Creating an Ubuntu VM with GUI Based Remote Desktop and Docker Image

Sat, 06 Apr 2019 12:56:45 +0000

I’ll probably skip the creating of the a VM, and assume that you already have SSH access to a Ubuntu VM hosted on Azure.

Following this guide here, below are the list of commands

 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88 sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install docker-ce sudo groupadd docker sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Day 2 Solution: Running WordPress Project Nami on Azure Kubernetes k8s.

Sat, 06 Apr 2019 12:54:46 +0000

Here’s my response to the challenge. To make things really complicated, lets do an overkill and utilize docker containers instead of a VM.
If you are using an VM previously, I would suggest you to explore creating a clone on Web App. Vice-versa for those who are started on Web App, create a clone on VM.

Docker has its advantage in terms of service recovery and service healing. By itself it is a tedious task to setup such feature, hence the common orchestrators would be Docker Swarm, DC/OS and Kubernetes (also known as K8s). Here is the TLDR of what I’m going to achieve.

Day 3: Web Analytics, Web Performance Latency, Log Monitoring + Alerts and Management API

Tue, 07 Aug 2018 14:54:55 +0000

Challenge Statement

One of the important metrics to measure when running a site, be it an eCommerce site or blog would be to measure the incoming traffic from organic and paid sources. Google Analytics is one of the freemium web analytics which users commonly. I’m looking at services specifically provided by Azure which does similar, which measures the user activity done on site.

In addition when you are hosting your application on the cloud, you would want to take advantage of global data center and elastic scalability as well. Provision a service which can provide load testing and monitor ping response from different region in the world.

Day 2 Challenge: Your primary compute is going down for 4 hours, 7 days from now

Tue, 07 Aug 2018 09:53:46 +0000

“Shit happens but life goes on.” Anonymous

Challenge Statement

Hopefully you have split your hosting service away from your database service. Which ever X service you have utilize for Day 1, which for my case would be web app. Let’s assume that it is going to be out of service, and you are getting notified about it 7 days prior to it.

While it does not happen that often, lets assume this is beyond our control, and lean towards this worse-case scenario. The service X will be unavailable 7 days from now in all region due to a planned maintenance, and you a strict >15 mins SLA to meet.

Day 1 Solution : Creating WordPress with MSSQL on Azure Web App and SQL Azure

Tue, 07 Aug 2018 03:03:52 +0000

Step by step guide to setting up WordPress with MSSQL on Azure Web App and SQL Azure

Here’s my response to the challenge. The choice of technology which I’m starting with would be WordPress.
Thinking further, I’ve decided to look for CMS fork of WordPress which utilizes MSSQL instead of MYSQL.
This is purely my choice as I’m familiar with MSSQL, knowing that in future the setting up of high availability configuration would be something I’m comfortable with.

Day 1 Challenge: Creating a CMS Site

Tue, 07 Aug 2018 02:06:03 +0000

Challenge Statement

Prerequisite and Requirements

Knowledge of popular CMS (Content Management System) available in the market
Understanding of different types of compute offering on Azure. This list is by no mean exhaustive and at the point of writing 7th Aug 2018,. the major ones are
- Virtual Machines (VMs)
- Azure App Service (Also loosely referred to as Azure Web Sites, Azure Web App, App Service Environment from previous naming conventions)
- Container Services (this is a loose term referring to Docker based container hosting services)
- Service Fabric
- Cloud Services (also know as web & worker role)
- Azure Functions
Storage and Networking Services on Azure
Knowledge of available database providers such as
- MSSQL

1. Nginx
2. Apache
3. IIS
4. Other relevant application server compatible with your CMS, which might be written perl, python, RoR, and other languages
Knowledge of Windows or Linux based operating systems
Bonus: SSL Certificate for Domain Names

You do not need to know everything listed above, work with the technologies which you are familiar with.

Day 0: A Prologue

Mon, 06 Aug 2018 14:16:27 +0000

Prerequisite and Requirements

Welcome to 30 Days of Azure challenge site. There are no prizes when you complete this challenge. Aww…. Nonetheless things will start getting interesting, as the challenges won’t be easy (at least for beginners), and they are that by design. The daily challenges will always start off with the Challenge Statement, Prerequisite and Requirements, and Though Process section.

About

Mon, 06 Aug 2018 14:03:59 +0000

Hi, I’m Tan Chun Siong and 30 Days of Azure is a new project I’ve started as a challenge to build more resilient services by adopting these strategies and philosophy

adopting and modifying patterns and practices
new services released on Azure on a regular basis
Indirection of “Any problem in computer science can be solved with one additional layer of indirection.”
“Never send a human to do a computer’s work” – donovan brown

The final infrastructure which this wordpress site resides on, should (hopefully) stand up against service failures and unexpected maintenance and possibly disasters in specific regions. To make it more challenging and I’ll be getting my colleague Sannya Dang to work on the same challenges, hoping that there will be slightly different outcome

Azure Portal Metrics Graph / Metric Chart always showing 0 or dips at the end due to averaging.

Thu, 26 Jul 2018 06:28:00 +0000

If you are a frequent user of the Azure Portal, you might have realized it is a common sighting to see some metrics such as CPU dropping to Zero, Network dipping to Zero, or Disk Read Write Operation drops to Zero.

Do not be alarmed as it is not reflect the true actual value of the service’s metric (which in my case in an Azure VM) dropping to Zero. The charts are an average of the values over time, and does not show real time value as compared to the operating system’s task manager.

Setting up SQL Always On Cluster with Azure Active Directory Domain Services AAD DS and Dedicated NIC on Azure

Thu, 22 Mar 2018 13:28:37 +0000

I refer to various guides ranging from SQL Always On Cluster Setup Guide, and brief documentation on SQL Always On with AAD Domain Services and have decided to write a comprehensive guide which might save you hours or even days of fun.

Here are some constrains which the AAD DS might have, and some workaround for it.

You can only create computer objects (OU: AADDC Computers) if the AD user is part of the AAD DS Administrator. Hence add your user account on Azure Active Directory management page, to the AAD DS Administrator group.
You should not delete users (OU: AADDC Users) directly from AAD DS Administrative Center. You can delete users from the Azure Portal.
AD users will only be propagated to AAD DS after resetting and changing their password on myapps.microsoft.com
Administrative Center does not allow creation of users. Create users in the Azure Active Directory Panel in your Azure Portal.
When creating your AAD DS, it is highly recommended to use a valid domain name, such as myuserid@mytenantname.onmicrosoft.com . Choose wisely, as every mistake which requires you to recreate your AAD DS will take 45-60 mins each.
Do not delete system generated objects on your AAD DS DNS records. Deleting known computer objects (VMs, Clusters) is fine. If you accidentally delete system generated objects, you will need to refer to point 4. Recreate your AAD DS, go and have a coffee, and come back in an hours time.
Do not delete system generated computer objects on your (OU: AADDC Computers). Refer to step 4. If you did, redo your AAD DS, go have lunch now.
If you really wish to create user objects, you will need to create an additional OU. But…. these users in this newly created OU will not have permissions to create computer objects. These users (in a different OU) are are not allowed to be part of AAD DS Administrative Group. Hence if you attempt to create a failover cluster with a domain account in a custom OU, it will fail.
Create an account such as install@tenantid.onmicrosoft.com with AAD DS Administrator Group membership.
I’ve tried, but there is no direct method to reduce effective permission for a user with AAD DS Administrator Group membership.

Here are some common preparations and information before setting up SQL Always On Cluster on SQL Management Studio
