Im stuck whats the fastest way to get unstuck

Use a local AI agent that can see your machine. That is far more effective than asking in Discord, because most “I’m stuck” cases are local config or environment issues that remote helpers cannot inspect.

These tools can read the repo, run commands, inspect logs, and help fix your machine-level setup (PATH, services, permissions, auth files). Give them the full source checkout via the hackable (git) install:
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-method git
This installs OpenClaw from a git checkout, so the agent can read the code + docs and reason about the exact version you are running. You can always switch back to stable later by re-running the installer without --install-method git.
Tip: ask the agent to plan and supervise the fix (step-by-step), then execute only the necessary commands. That keeps changes small and easier to audit.
If you discover a real bug or fix, please file a GitHub issue or send a PR: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/pulls
Start with these commands (share outputs when asking for help):
openclaw status
openclaw models status
openclaw doctor
What they do:
openclaw status: quick snapshot of gateway/agent health + basic config.
openclaw models status: checks provider auth + model availability.
openclaw doctor: validates and repairs common config/state issues.
Other useful CLI checks: openclaw status --all, openclaw logs --follow, openclaw gateway status, openclaw health --verbose.
Quick debug loop: First 60 seconds if something’s broken. Install docs: Install, Installer flags, Updating.
