OpenClaw plugin usage

1. Install package in your OpenClaw project:

   npm i openclaw-sentinel-cli

2. Ensure plugin artifacts are available from package:
   • openclaw.plugin.json
   • dist/openclaw.js
   • SKILL.md
3. Configure plugin (either env or plugin config):
   • apiKey
   • baseUrl (optional)
   • agentId (optional)
4. Reload OpenClaw plugins.

Registered tools:

• save_remote_memory
• search_remote_memory
• backup_brain
• sentinel_heartbeat

Reliability behavior

• save_remote_memory persists user-critical facts to Sentinel cloud.
• search_remote_memory queries previously saved memory.
• sentinel_heartbeat checks gateway health + backup freshness + new memory signals.
• backup_brain uploads key identity files for recovery.

Install heartbeat policy into HEARTBEAT.md:

sentinel install-heartbeat
