About

TypeScript tooling in the OpenClaw ecosystem by steipete.

What it does

Hermit is an operational Discord bot for the OpenClaw community. It handles commands, moderation events, role claims, review forms, scheduled maintenance, and specialized case workflows. A Cloudflare Worker serves interactions, pages, and authenticated HTTP endpoints, while a separate Bun process forwards Discord gateway events.

Why it's ranked here

The project solves substantial community operations work, not just chat commands. It combines moderation tools, OAuth-backed submissions, database records, evidence storage, scheduled recovery jobs, and abuse notifications. Its strongest fit is OpenClaw itself, since several domains, channel identifiers, roles, and workflows are specific to that community.

What's good

The architecture gives each workload an appropriate home. Cloudflare handles requests and scheduled jobs, D1 stores structured records through Drizzle, and R2 holds evidence with SHA-256 hashes. Incoming case correspondence requires bearer authentication, validates required fields and attachments, and records both files and an event trail.

Tradeoffs

Deployment spans two runtimes: a Cloudflare Worker and a separately operated Bun gateway forwarder. Setup requires Discord credentials, a D1 database, migrations, matching forwarding keys, and several feature-specific secrets. Some behavior is tied directly to OpenClaw hosts, roles, channels, schedules, and ClawHub case formats, limiting reuse without code changes.

How to use it well

Choose Hermit when operating OpenClaw community workflows across Discord, web forms, and ClawHub moderation. Treat it as a deployable application, then configure credentials, database bindings, migrations, forwarding keys, and relevant integrations. It does not replace a general-purpose Discord bot framework or provide a ready-made bot for unrelated communities.

Technical notes+

src/entry.ts hydrates Worker bindings into the process environment before dynamically importing src/index.ts. That main module constructs the Carbon client, registers commands, listeners, components, modals, HTTP routes, and scheduled recovery work. src/db.ts connects Drizzle to D1, including a primary-session variant. src/forms/server.tsx serves OAuth-backed forms for Discord, GitHub, and Reddit. src/clawhubContentRights/api.ts exposes bearer-protected case retrieval and correspondence intake. src/clawhubContentRights/intake.ts validates attachments, hashes them with SHA-256, and stores them in R2. package.json provides Bun, Wrangler, migration, CSS generation, testing, and type-checking scripts.

Observed

Primary language
TypeScript, including TSX for server-rendered pages and forms
Application interfaces
