Chat with Agents
Start an interactive conversation with any ClawPack agent.

How It Works
- Pulls the agent bundle (if not cached)
- Registers it as a temporary agent in OpenClaw
- Opens a readline-based chat interface
- Messages go through your local OpenClaw gateway
- On exit, unregisters the temporary agent
Requirements
- OpenClaw must be installed and running (
openclaw gateway status) - At least one model must be configured (API key or setup-token)
- The agent runs locally on your machine — nothing is sent to ClawPack servers during chat
