Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @emberdesire/jasper-configguard
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install jasper-configguard
What This Skill Does
Manages OpenClaw gateway config changes with automatic backup and rollback. Applies patches via deep merge, restarts the gateway, runs a health check, and reverts automatically if the gateway fails to come back up. Also exposes a JavaScript API for use inside agents.
Manual config edits require remembering to back up first and manually reverting on failure, which this automates end-to-end.
When to use it
- Switching the default model without risking a broken gateway
- Enabling or disabling a plugin safely in production
- Previewing a config diff before committing a change
- Restoring the last known good config after a bad patch
- Running a health check on the gateway from an agent step
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: switch the primary model to claude-opus-4-5 safely
AGENT
- 1Run dry-run to preview the change: jasper-configguard patch --dry-run '{"agents":{"defaults":{"model":{"primary":"anthropic/claude-opus-4-5"}}}}'
- 2Confirm diff looks correct
- 3Apply the patch: jasper-configguard patch '{"agents":{"defaults":{"model":{"primary":"anthropic/claude-opus-4-5"}}}}'
- 4Tool backs up config, applies change, restarts gateway, and runs health check
- 5If health check fails, tool auto-rolls back and reports the error
OUTPUT
Gateway running with updated model, or automatically restored to previous config if restart failed
