Kemia — Agent Configuration Manager

Manage your agent configurations through the kemia web interface.

Architecture: OpenClaw always initiates. Kemia never pushes. All communication is pull-based via the v1 API.

Prerequisites

• jq must be installed
• curl must be available
• Config stored at: ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/kemia/config.json

Commands

/connect (two-step, resumable)

Connect this OpenClaw instance to a kemia deployment. Works in two steps because the confirmation happens in a browser and can take arbitrary time — the script never runs a long polling loop that could be killed by OpenClaw/Exec.

Step 1 — start enrollment: /kemia connect https://kemia.byte5.ai

• POST /api/v1/enroll → enrollment URL
• Persists state to skills/kemia/enrollment.json
• Prints the URL. Exits immediately.

Step 2 — user clicks, confirms in the browser, returns to the agent.

Step 3 — complete: /kemia connect (no argument)

• Reads enrollment.json, polls /status once.
• If still pending → tells the user to wait and run /kemia connect again; exits.
• If completed → saves config.json, exports workspace .md files, cleans up state.
• If expired → cleans up, asks the user to re-run with a URL.

Already connected? A fresh /kemia connect without arguments is safe: the script verifies config.json against /api/v1/status first. If the key works, it reports "already connected" and exits without touching anything.

Re-connecting from the same machine: the script sends a stable machine fingerprint (sha256(hostname + workspace_path)) with the enrollment request. If kemia recognizes the machine, the confirmation page offers Re-Authenticate (rotate the API key on the existing instance, keep all agents) or Set up as a new instance (fresh start). Duplicates are no longer silently created.

No shared secrets needed. The enrollment URL is the authentication.

Script: scripts/connect.sh [kemia-url]

Environment variables (optional):

• OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE — workspace path (default: ~/.openclaw/workspace)
• OPENCLAW_INSTANCE_NAME — instance name (default: hostname)
• OPENCLAW_AGENT_NAME — agent name (default: CyberClaw)

/kemia-link

Generate a one-time login URL for the kemia web interface (15-minute expiry).

Script: scripts/kemia-link.sh

Use this when the user needs a fresh session — e.g. after logout or on a new device.

/import [agent-id]

Import the latest deploy-ready snapshot from kemia into the workspace.

Script: scripts/import.sh [agent-id]

• Fetches the snapshot marked "deploy ready" in the kemia UI
• Backs up current workspace .md files to .kemia-backup/ before overwriting
• If no agent-id given, uses the saved ID from config.json

After import, restart OpenClaw for changes to take effect.

/kemia-status

Check connection health and whether a deploy-ready snapshot is pending.

Script: scripts/status.sh

Config File

After /connect, credentials are stored in:

~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/kemia/config.json

{
  "apiKey": "km_...",
  "instanceId": "clxyz...",
  "baseUrl": "https://kemia.byte5.ai",
  "agentId": "clxyz..."
}

Setup Flow

1. Run /kemia connect https://kemia.byte5.ai (or your kemia instance URL) — prints enrollment URL, exits.
2. Click the enrollment URL — confirm in the browser → logged into kemia.
3. Run /kemia connect again (no arguments) — completes setup, exports agent config.
4. Shape the config in the kemia web UI (Persona, Role, Knowledge, Team).
5. Create a snapshot → mark it "deploy ready".
6. Run /import → restart OpenClaw.
