Use it from OpenClaw

Connect it

waired link openclaw

That is the whole setup. Start OpenClaw as usual afterwards and pick one of the Waired models.

You should see

OpenClaw’s model picker lists three new entries:

Model	Use it for
waired/auto	The general default — let Waired choose
waired/coding	Code
waired/small	Fast, short answers

No API key and no environment variable are involved. Waired connects OpenClaw to the AI running on your own machine directly.

Your own default model is not touched

Linking adds the Waired models to the list you can choose from. Which model OpenClaw starts with stays whatever you had set — you switch to a Waired one when you want it.

Have several coding tools installed?

waired link with no name sets up every one it finds — Claude Code, OpenCode and OpenClaw.

What it changed

Two things, both inside your own home folder:

Path	What it is
~/.openclaw/plugins/waired/	A small plugin that knows how to reach your AI
~/.openclaw/openclaw.json	Two settings that switch that plugin on, and add the three models above to the list

Nothing else in that file is modified, and nothing outside your home folder is touched.

Check it, or remove it

waired doctor verifies the whole path — the connection, whether routing is paused, whether a model is loaded — and repairs what it can when you press f.

To remove the integration:

waired unlink openclaw

It is surgical: it undoes what waired link added and nothing else.

You can also see and re-apply it from the Waired app — click the Waired icon → Settings → OpenClaw.
