TXT CLAW for Developers

Create a dedicated OpenClaw agent (memory + configuration) and talk to it over HTTPS. SMS provisioning is a separate, optional lane.

Quickstart

3 steps, no surprises

This is designed to be real: you should get a reply and a trace id within minutes.

Step 1

Activate + generate

First activate Dev API in /dashboard/billing, then open /dashboard/api-keys and click “Generate key”.

Step 2

Initialize

Install + init

bash

pnpm i txtclaw
pnpm exec txtclaw init

Step 3

Verify end-to-end

Doctor

bash

pnpm exec txtclaw doctor

For coding agents

Copy a setup prompt (Clerk-style)

Paste into Codex/Cursor so it installs the SDK/CLI correctly and follows the guardrails.
