# Codehooks Backend Skill

Give your OpenClaw agent a serverless backend for REST APIs, webhooks, data storage, scheduled jobs, queue workers, and autonomous workflows.

## Your agent can deploy code

With this skill, your agent can write JavaScript/TypeScript code and deploy it to a live serverless backend in 5 seconds. No human intervention required — the agent iterates autonomously.

Codehooks has a free tier to get started, and paid plans have no extra charges for traffic or API calls — let your agent deploy without worrying about usage costs.

⚠️ **Warning:** This gives your agent the ability to deploy and run code on a live server. Review your agent's actions, set appropriate permissions, and monitor usage. You are responsible for any code your agent deploys.

## What this skill enables

- **REST APIs** with automatic OpenAPI/Swagger documentation
- **Instant CRUD APIs** using `crudlify()` with schema validation
- **Webhook endpoints** that external services can call (Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, etc.)
- **Persistent storage** beyond local memory (NoSQL + key-value)
- **Background jobs** and scheduled tasks that run 24/7
- **Queue workers** for async processing
- **Autonomous workflows** with retries, branching, and state management

## Setup

**Human does once:**
```bash
npm install -g codehooks
coho login
coho create openclaw-backend
coho add-admintoken
```

Give the admin token to your agent.

**Agent uses:**
```bash
export CODEHOOKS_ADMIN_TOKEN="your-token-here"
coho deploy --admintoken $CODEHOOKS_ADMIN_TOKEN
```

The agent can now deploy code, query data, and manage the backend.

---

## Essential: Load the development context

Before building anything, run:

```bash
coho prompt
```

This outputs the complete Codehooks development prompt — routing, database, queues, jobs, workflows, and the full codehooks-js API. Copy it into your context to build any backend feature correctly.

**macOS shortcut:**
```bash
coho prompt | pbcopy
```

# codehooks-openclaw-skill

Give your OpenClaw agent a serverless backend for REST APIs, webhooks, data storage, scheduled jobs, queue workers, and autonomous workflows.

## Why this exists

OpenClaw agents run locally. That's great for privacy, but tricky when you need:

- REST APIs with automatic OpenAPI documentation
- Webhook endpoints that work when your Mac is asleep
- Persistent storage beyond local files
- Scheduled jobs that run 24/7
- Reliable integrations with Stripe, Shopify, GitHub
- Multi-step workflows that run autonomously with retries and state management

This skill gives your agent everything it needs to deploy and manage serverless backends.

## Quick start

**Human does once:**
```bash
npm install -g codehooks
coho login
coho create my-backend
coho add-admintoken
```

Give the admin token to your agent.

**Agent uses:**
```bash
export CODEHOOKS_ADMIN_TOKEN="your-token-here"
coho deploy --admintoken $CODEHOOKS_ADMIN_TOKEN
```

Your agent now has a live webhook URL, database, and job runner. Codehooks has a free tier to get started, and paid plans have no extra charges for traffic or API calls.

## Give your agent the full context

Run this to get the complete development prompt:

```bash
coho prompt
```

This outputs everything your agent needs to build with codehooks-js — routes, database operations, queues, jobs, workflows. Feed it into your agent's context.

**macOS shortcut:**
```bash
coho prompt | pbcopy
```
