Overview
Mission Control is the web UI + HTTP API for operating OpenClaw. It’s where you manage boards, tasks, agents, approvals, and (optionally) gateway connections.
Problem statement
- Provide a single place to coordinate work (boards/tasks) and execute automation (agents) safely.
Non-goals (first pass)
- Not a general-purpose project management suite.
- Not a full observability platform.
Key concepts (glossary-lite)
- Board: a workspace containing tasks, memory, and agents.
- Task: unit of work on a board; has status and comments.
- Agent: an automated worker that can execute tasks and post evidence.
- Gateway: OpenClaw runtime host that executes tools/skills and runs heartbeats/cron.
- Heartbeat: periodic agent check-in loop for doing incremental work.
- Cron job: scheduled execution (recurring or one-shot) isolated from conversational context.
