About
The OpenClaw Runtime is the core execution engine of the OpenClaw architecture, responsible for driving the LLM interaction loop. Running as a dedicated process per Gateway, it maintains an isolated workspace (with configuration files like AGENTS.md and SOUL.md), bootstrap routines, and a session store. Its primary role is to ingest prompts, drive model reasoning, and execute native tool and skill calls seamlessly, ensuring safe local operation and robust resource management before returning the response.
