Vendor OpenClaw source as Adolf fork baseline
Adolf is a fork/vendored clone of github.com/openclaw/openclaw (v2026.6.11),
free to diverge. Tree copied sans upstream .git; upstream remote added for
future syncs. Node pinned to 24 (.nvmrc); engines already require >=22.19.
Preserves docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

CLI reference for `openclaw directory` (self, peers, groups)
You want to look up contacts/groups/self ids for a channel
You are developing a channel directory adapter
Directory

openclaw directory

Directory lookups for channels that support them: contacts/peers, groups, and "me" (self).

Results are meant to be pasted into other commands, especially openclaw message send --target ....

Common flags

  • --channel <name>: channel id/alias (required when multiple channels are configured; auto-selected when only one is configured)
  • --account <id>: account id (default: channel default)
  • --json: output JSON

Default (non-JSON) output is id (and sometimes name) separated by a tab.

Notes

  • For many channels, results are config-backed (allowlists / configured groups) rather than a live provider directory.
  • An already-installed channel plugin can lack directory support. In that case the command reports the unsupported operation; it does not try to reinstall or upgrade the plugin to add support.

Using results with message send

openclaw directory peers list --channel slack --query "U0"
openclaw message send --channel slack --target user:U012ABCDEF --message "hello"

ID formats by channel

Channel Target id format
WhatsApp +15551234567 (DM), 1234567890-1234567890@g.us (group), 120363123456789@newsletter (Channel/Newsletter, outbound only)
Signal Configured aliases resolve to E.164/UUID DM targets or group:<id> group targets
Telegram @username or numeric chat id; groups use numeric ids
Slack user:U… and channel:C…
Discord user:<id> and channel:<id>
Matrix (plugin) user:@user:server, room:!roomId:server, or #alias:server
Microsoft Teams (plugin) user:<id> and conversation:<id>
Zalo (plugin) User id (Bot API)
Zalo Personal / zalouser (plugin) Thread id (DM/group), from zca (me, friend list, group list)

Self ("me")

openclaw directory self --channel zalouser

Peers (contacts/users)

openclaw directory peers list --channel zalouser
openclaw directory peers list --channel zalouser --query "name"
openclaw directory peers list --channel zalouser --limit 50

Groups

openclaw directory groups list --channel zalouser --query "work"
openclaw directory groups members --channel zalouser --group-id <id>
