openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature: Add config for automatic bootstrap execution [1 comments, 2 participants]

Fix Plan

To address the issue of unreliable context injection, we will implement a config option to run pre-session scripts automatically.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Add config option: Introduce a new config option preSessionScripts under agents.defaults to store the list of scripts to be executed before the model sees the first user message.
2. Modify session initialization: Update the session initialization code to read the preSessionScripts config option and execute the scripts before starting the session.
3. Inject script output into context: Modify the script execution code to capture the output of the scripts and inject it into the context.

Example Code:

import subprocess

# Load config
config = {
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "preSessionScripts": [
        "bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/generate-boot-context.sh",
        "bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/memory-queue-sync.sh"
      ]
    }
  }
}

# Execute pre-session scripts and inject output into context
def execute_pre_session_scripts(context):
    for script in config["agents"]["defaults"]["preSessionScripts"]:
        output = subprocess.check_output(script, shell=True)
        context.update({f"script_{script}": output.decode("utf-8")})

# Initialize session
def initialize_session():
    context = {}
    execute_pre_session_scripts(context)
    # Start session with the updated context
    start_session(context)

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, test the following scenarios:

• Run a session with the preSessionScripts config option set and verify that the scripts are executed and their output is injected into the context.
• Run a session without the preSessionScripts config option set and verify that the scripts are not executed.

Extra Tips

• Ensure that the scripts specified in the preSessionScripts config option have the necessary permissions and dependencies to run successfully.
• Consider adding error handling for script execution failures to prevent session initialization issues.
