What is it?
This repository is a Chinese-language documentation site for OpenClaw, a self-hosted personal AI assistant platform that runs on your own computer or server. OpenClaw uses a Gateway to connect a web control UI, chat channels, mobile nodes, tools and language models.
The site is organized into four tracks: a beginner installation tutorial set, a full engineering walkthrough covering the CLI, Gateway control plane, plugins and channel adapters, an AI core framework track covering context engineering, agent state machines, tool policies, model fallback and memory, and a channel adapter section. It is built with VitePress and includes a local preview workflow via npm scripts.
The documentation covers connections to chat platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack and Feishu, and to model providers such as Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, Qwen and Ollama. It is maintained separately from the official OpenClaw project.
