Usage

Quick Cleanup (Keep Current Session)

bash
# 1. List all sessions
openclaw sessions list

# 2. Stop Gateway
pkill -9 -f "openclaw-gateway"

# 3. Clean sessions.json (Python script)
python3 ~/clawd/skills/session-cleaner/scripts/clean_sessions.py

# 4. Restart Gateway
openclaw gateway start

Full Reset (Including Current Session)

bash
# User should send: /new
# Then run the cleanup above

Manual Steps

Step 1: Check Current Sessions

bash
openclaw sessions list

Step 2: Stop Gateway (kills all session processes)

bash
pkill -9 -f "openclaw-gateway"

Step 3: Clean Session Registry

bash
python3 ~/clawd/skills/session-cleaner/scripts/clean_sessions.py

Step 4: Restart Gateway

bash
openclaw gateway start

Step 5: Clear Current Context (User Action)

Tell user to send: /new or /reset

Important Notes

  1. Always backup sessions.json before cleaning
  2. Current session is preserved by default (agent:main:main)
  3. Sub-agents, cron jobs, group chats are all cleaned
  4. Gateway restart is required to fully clear memory
  5. Context reset (/new) is a separate user action

Safety Checklist

  • Backup sessions.json
  • Confirm with user before destructive operations
  • Preserve current session unless user says "clear everything"
  • Restart Gateway after cleaning
  • Instruct user to send /new for context reset

Examples

Example 1: Clean all other sessions

User: "关掉所有子agent"
Agent: "正在清理... [执行 cleanup 脚本]"

Example 2: Full reset

User: "重置所有,包括当前会话"
Agent: "确认?这将清除所有历史。[用户确认后执行]"
