OpenClaw Self-Healing System

"The system that heals itself — or calls for help when it can't."
A 4-tier autonomous self-healing system for OpenClaw Gateway.

Architecture

Level 1: Watchdog (180s)     → Process monitoring (OpenClaw built-in)
Level 2: Health Check (300s) → HTTP 200 + 3 retries
Level 3: Claude Recovery     → 30min AI-powered diagnosis 🧠
Level 4: Discord Alert       → Human escalation

What's Special (v2.0)

  • World's first Claude Code as Level 3 emergency doctor
  • Persistent Learning - Automatic recovery documentation (symptom → cause → solution → prevention)
  • Reasoning Logs - Explainable AI decision-making process
  • Multi-Channel Alerts - Discord + Telegram support
  • Metrics Dashboard - Success rate, recovery time, trending analysis
  • Production-tested (verified recovery Feb 5-6, 2026)
  • macOS LaunchAgent integration
