Out of Scope
Building a fully harness-agnostic layer that covers every vendor is a separate future effort. This task only removes OpenClaw.

Deprecate OpenClaw: Clean Up the Remnants
Hermes Agent — the harness layer just above the raw model — is already up and running ForgeBot on forgebot-mini. This effort is cleanup: remove the OpenClaw remnants left behind in the forgeapps project and on this MacBook, and mark anything that must remain as deprecated.
Where Things Stand
Already done — the harness swap
ForgeBot runs on the Hermes Agent Harness on forgebot-mini, with its own health-check tooling. The harness slot between the chat surfaces and the raw model is filled.
- Chat surfaces (Slack, Telegram, …)
- Hermes Agent Harness — live
- Raw model (Anthropic, OpenAI)

This task — the leftovers
A retired OpenClaw gateway still runs on this MacBook (adamobook), and the repo is full of tooling, routine checks, and docs written against OpenClaw by name.
What Is Actually Left
- A live gateway on adamobook — still running, restarted at login, with a 4.1-gigabyte working folder.
- Six personality files inside the OpenClaw folder — loaded into every Claude session by the root instructions file; they must move before anything is deleted.
- Two watchers that would falsely alarm — the desk-light watchdog and this MacBook's health probe both watch the gateway and turn red the moment it stops.
- Repo references — an OpenClaw skill in two mirrored locations, sixteen helper scripts, ten active routines checking it by name, ~748 files mentioning it.
Steps
- Move the six personality files out of the OpenClaw folder to a neutral home and update the import lines in the root instructions file.
- Stop the gateway, remove the login item, and retire or repoint the desk-light watchdog and health probe so nothing alarms.
- Back up the 4.1-gigabyte working folder outside the project, then delete it.
- Delete the OpenClaw skill in both locations and the sixteen helper scripts. Hermes already has its own health-check tooling, so nothing needs porting.
- Update the ten routines to drop their OpenClaw checks; fix stale machine names to forgebot-mini.
- Sweep remaining references: delete most, and stamp what must stay (history, archives, changelogs, the June migration report) as deprecated.
- Update saved memories and wiki pages, save everything to the main branch, and note the retirement in the changelog.
Done When
No OpenClaw process runs, nothing false-alarms, every Claude session still loads its personality files, and any surviving OpenClaw mention is plainly marked deprecated.
