Docker Networking
How to wire agents, databases, and external services together safely — isolated networks, health checks, and persistent volumes.
Traefik Reverse Proxy
TLS certificates, routing rules, admin authentication, and the config rewrite fix that saves hours of debugging.
Agent Identity Design
SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md, MEMORY.md, HEARTBEAT.md — the six files that give your agent a personality and keep it on-task.
Sub‑Agent Orchestration
The Doer-Face-Guardian-Maintainer-Librarian pattern. Role separation, security boundaries, and cost-efficiency with specialized models.
Custom Skills
Build, test, and deploy reusable skills. Includes the Skill-Creator bootstrapper and rate-limit best practices.
Autonomous Workflows
TaskFlow, inbox-triage, cron-driven tasks, change-management approval. Full end-to-end automation with audit trails.
Battle‑Tested Fix List
19 real production failures with exact fixes — DNS bugs, auth errors, config corruption, model outages. No hypotheticals.
Scaling Beyond One VPS
Multi-node setup, node-pairing for mobile/desktop, geographic distribution, and cost-benefit analysis for when to scale.
"Every entry in this list is something that broke in real life. No hypotheticals, no AI-generated 'best practices' — just the concrete, often frustrating, lessons that come from running an AI-powered business on OpenClaw in the wild."
