Ask Molty is the OpenClaw documentation agent.

It owns:

• the Cloudflare Worker behind docs-chat.openclaw.ai
• the system prompt and tool loop
• static workspace export for docs, source, and GitHub issues/PRs
• retrieval artifacts consumed by the Worker

The docs mirror stays focused on publishing documentation. Ask Molty owns the agent runtime.

scripts/export-workspace.ts builds a flat, read-only workspace:

dist/ask-molty/
  docs-search.jsonl
  source-search.jsonl
  github-search.jsonl
  workspace-manifest.json
  workspace/
    docs/*.md
    source/*.md
    github/*.md

The Worker does deterministic candidate retrieval, mounts the best docs/source/GitHub files into a small in-memory workspace, then lets the model call:

• search_workspace
• read_workspace
• list_workspace
• run_shell

Docs are canonical. Source is implementation truth. GitHub issues/PRs are discussion and status evidence.

run_shell is deliberately fake and read-only. It supports rg, grep, cat, head, ls, and find over mounted files only. No pipes, redirects, writes, network, or process execution.

npm install
npm run check

The exporter defaults to sibling/local paths:

• docs mirror: ../docs-openclaw
• OpenClaw source: ../clawdbot5
• gitcrawl store DB: ~/.config/gitcrawl/stores/gitcrawl-store/data/openclaw__openclaw.sync.db

Override with:

ASK_MOLTY_DOCS_REPO=../docs-openclaw \
ASK_MOLTY_SOURCE_REPO=../clawdbot5 \
ASK_MOLTY_GITCRAWL_DB=~/.config/gitcrawl/stores/gitcrawl-store/data/openclaw__openclaw.sync.db \
npm run export

The generated workspace can be large because GitHub threads are sharded into markdown files. The Worker never downloads all of it per request; it loads small JSONL indexes, selects candidates, and only mounts the best matching docs/source/GitHub files.

The Worker expects OPENAI_API_KEY as a Cloudflare Worker secret. The default model is chat-latest, which OpenAI maps to GPT-5.5 Instant in the API.
