Diagnose and fix OpenClaw gateway and node host issues. Use when openclaw services have warnings, connection failures, pairing errors, or port conflicts.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# OpenClaw Diagnose When the user asks you to diagnose or fix OpenClaw gateway/node issues, follow this structured investigation. ## Step 1: Gather status Run these in parallel: ```bash openclaw gateway status openclaw node status openclaw nodes status openclaw nodes pending ``` ## Step 2: Analyze warnings Look for these common issues: ### Multiple gateway-like services detected - Check if both `ai.openclaw.gateway` and `ai.openclaw.node` are registered as LaunchAgents - Use `launchctl print gui/$(id -u)/<label>` to inspect each service - Use `lsof -iTCP:<port> -sTCP:LISTEN -P` to confirm which process owns the port - The gateway **listens** on the port; the node host **connects to** the gateway on that port — they do NOT conflict ### Pairing required errors - Check `~/.openclaw/logs/node.err.log` for `pairing required` or `ECONNREFUSED` - If the node shows "pairing required", run `openclaw nodes pending` to find the pending request - Approve with: `openclaw nodes approve <requestId>` - **Pairing requests expire quickly** — if approval fails with "unknown requestId", restart the node (`openclaw node restart`) and immediately re-check pending + approve …

How to install
mdr add soulmachine/skills/openclaw-diagnose@sha256:9c768fb710c82a54The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260404.0375775, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
