This comment references v2.93.5, but the CHANGELOG currently goes up to 2.93.2, so the version label here may be inaccurate/misleading for when this cleanup was introduced.

This note says the subagent doc was created at tools/ai-assistants/openclaw.md, but in this repo it appears under .agent/tools/ai-assistants/openclaw.md (no top-level tools/ directory), which may confuse readers trying to follow the reference.

Code Review
This pull request successfully rebrands Moltbot to OpenClaw throughout the project. The changes are consistent and comprehensive, covering documentation, scripts, and configuration paths. All instances of moltbot, molt.bot, and ~/.clawdbot/ have been correctly updated to openclaw, openclaw.ai, and ~/.openclaw/ respectively. The file renames and content updates align perfectly with the rebranding goal. Excellent work on this refactoring.

286-286:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 MinorFix TOON backlog entry to match the rebranding.
Line 286 in the TOON backlog block still references "Moltbot" in the task description:

In @.agent/tools/ai-assistants/openclaw.md:
- Line 292: Replace the outdated Discord invite URL in the Markdown line
"**Discord**: https://discord.gg/clawd" with the new branded invite
"**Discord**: https://discord.gg/openclaw"; locate the exact string
"**Discord**: https://discord.gg/clawd" in
.agent/tools/ai-assistants/openclaw.md and update only the URL portion to
maintain formatting and branding consistency.
In `@README.md`:
- Around line 469-473: Update the brand name for consistency by changing the
markdown link text "- [ClawHub](https://clawdhub.com) - Skill registry with
vector search (OpenClaw ecosystem)" to use "ClawdHub" instead of "ClawHub" so it
matches the earlier occurrences (i.e., modify the link text in the README.md
list item referencing the Clawdhub URL).
🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
.agent/tools/ai-assistants/overview.md (1)
105-120: Prefer progressive disclosure over inline OpenClaw setup details.
Lines 107–120 embed setup/config instructions directly in the overview. For.agent/**/*.md, keep overview docs as pointers to subagents and replace inline commands with file:line references to the authoritative doc (likely.agent/tools/ai-assistants/openclaw.md).💡 Example direction
- - **Installation**: `npm install -g openclaw@latest && openclaw onboard --install-daemon` - - **Configuration**: See `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` - - **Docs**: https://docs.openclaw.ai + - **Setup & configuration**: See `.agent/tools/ai-assistants/openclaw.md` (file:line)As per coding guidelines: Apply progressive disclosure pattern by using pointers to subagents rather than including inline content in agent documentation. Include code examples only when authoritative; use
file:linereferences to point to actual implementation instead of inline code snippets..agent/onboarding.md (1)
407-430: Consider using a pointer to@openclawsubagent instead of inline content.Lines 407-430 contain substantial inline documentation about OpenClaw installation and setup. As per coding guidelines,
.agent/**/*.mdfiles should apply progressive disclosure by using pointers to subagents rather than including inline content.Since the openclaw.md subagent exists at
.agent/tools/ai-assistants/openclaw.md, consider refactoring this section to:| OpenClaw | Node.js >= 22 | See `@openclaw` | AI via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord | **OpenClaw setup** (recommended for mobile AI access): See `@openclaw` subagent for full installation and configuration. Quick start: `npm install -g openclaw@latest && openclaw onboard --install-daemon` **Docs**: https://docs.openclaw.aiThis maintains discoverability while adhering to the progressive disclosure pattern. However, given this is an onboarding flow where immediate action is prioritized, the current inline approach may be justified for UX.
- Fix setup.sh version comment: v2.93.5 → v2.93.3 (next release) - Fix TODO.md path: tools/ → .agent/tools/ for openclaw.md reference
- Update Discord invite link to openclaw branding (discord.gg/openclaw) - Fix ClawHub → ClawdHub for brand consistency in README.md
