OpenClaw-Style Read-Only Consumer

Use this skill when your local operator/runtime behaves like an OpenClaw-style shell and you want Campus Copilot to stay on the snapshot-first / thin-BFF-first / read-only side.

Think of Campus Copilot as the labeled binder on the desk:

• Campus Copilot provides structured academic context
• your local runtime decides how to consume that context
• Campus Copilot does not become a browser-control plugin or write-capable operator loop

Start with the narrowest path

1. If you need cross-site health, provider readiness, read-only ask, or export tools, start with:
• pnpm --filter @campus-copilot/mcp-server start
2. If you only need one site's snapshot records, use:
• pnpm --filter @campus-copilot/mcp-readonly start:
3. If you only need local provider status or cited-AI chat on the Campus semantic contract, use:
• pnpm start:api

Inputs

• one local snapshot such as examples/workspace-snapshot.sample.json
• one local runtime that can launch stdio commands
• optional support for the same mcpServers JSON shape used by Codex/Claude-style MCP setups

Recommended flow

1. Export a safe snapshot path:
• export CAMPUS_COPILOT_SNAPSHOT="$PWD/examples/workspace-snapshot.sample.json"
2. Start with the generic MCP server unless you already know you only need one site.
3. If your runtime explicitly accepts the same mcpServers JSON shape, adapt:
• examples/integrations/codex-mcp.example.json
• examples/integrations/claude-code-mcp.example.json
4. If it does not accept that exact shape, stay with the direct command snippets from:
• examples/openclaw-readonly.md
5. Keep all claims snapshot-scoped and read-only.

Good fit

• OpenClaw-style local consumers that need one truthful starting recipe
• imported snapshot review without reopening live browser automation
• read-only MCP or local BFF consumption over Campus-owned semantics

Not a fit

• live browser takeover
• posting, replying, or submitting on external sites
• inventing an official plugin or marketplace contract
• hosted autonomy positioning
