# Add TXT CLAW (OpenClaw agent runtime API)

**Purpose:** Set up OpenClaw agents via API (create agents, send messages, get replies).
**Guardrails:** Use pnpm. Never log or commit API keys. Keep keys server-side only.

## 1) Create account + API key
- Sign up: https://www.txtclaw.com/sign-up
- API key dashboard: https://www.txtclaw.com/dashboard/api-keys
- Keys look like: vck_...

## 2) Set env vars (server-side)
export TXTCLAW_API_BASE_URL="https://txtclaw-sms-e2e.lopez731.workers.dev"
export TXTCLAW_API_KEY="vck_REPLACE_ME"

## 3) Verify
curl -sS "$TXTCLAW_API_BASE_URL/v1/status" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TXTCLAW_API_KEY"

## 4) Create agent + send message
- POST /v1/agents
- POST /v1/agents/{agent_id}/messages

## Optional: BYOK
- PUT /v1/byok (store provider key encrypted)
- Create agents with: llm: { "mode": "byok" }

curl -sS "$TXTCLAW_API_BASE_URL/v1/agents/$AGENT_ID/messages" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TXTCLAW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
