Runtime

About

OpenClaw Runtime is the core execution engine of the OpenClaw AI framework. Functioning as a model-agnostic LLM loop, it runs an embedded agent process per Gateway, maintaining its own isolated workspace and JSONL session state. The runtime dynamically injects persona, memory, and behavioral boundaries from configuration files like SOUL.md and AGENTS.md. It autonomously manages context windows, executes third-party skills from ClawHub, and runs persistent background tasks across various messaging channels.
