OpenClaw Mission Control

Local-first mission dashboard for teams operating an OpenClaw bot.

Overview

OpenClaw Mission Control centralizes project execution, bot memory, documentation, people, and recurring operations in a single workspace.
It is designed for fast local workflows with file-based persistence, so you can run everything without external databases.

Core Capabilities

• Multi-project command center with project cards and metadata.
• Kanban execution board per project with drag-and-drop, status lanes, and ordering.
• Recurring lane support (recurring) for tasks that are part of ongoing bot operations.
• Task detail workflows: priority, assignee, comments, timeline metadata, and file attachments.
• Team directory (People) with create/edit/delete and assignment-ready member profiles.
• Documentation hub with:
  • Nested folders
  • Drag-and-drop move for folders/documents
  • Markdown import/export
  • Rich editing (Tiptap) with autosave
  • Dedicated editor page with edit/preview modes
• Bot memory workspace with:
  • Calendar-based navigation
  • Conversation search
  • Favorite dates
  • Message timeline rendering from Markdown logs
• Scheduled operations dashboard:
  • Weekly and Today views
  • “Next up” behavior derived from day/time
  • CRUD for recurring routine blocks
• Global cross-module search (Cmd/Ctrl + K) across Projects, Tasks, Docs, People, and Memory.
• In-project task quick search (/) for fast drill-down.
• Top navigation context chips (AI model, Madrid date/time, gateway status placeholder) prepared for production wiring.

Tech Stack

• Next.js 16 (App Router)
• React 19 + TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS v4
• dnd-kit (drag and drop)
• Tiptap + Markdown tooling (marked, turndown, react-markdown)
• Local file-system storage (.json + .md)
• Vitest + Testing Library
• Cypress (E2E)

Architecture

The app is local-first and file-backed:

• API routes in app/api/** expose CRUD/search operations.
• Storage adapters in lib/storage/** read/write local files.
• UI routes in app/(dashboard)/** consume APIs with client-side fetch patterns.
• Shared domain contracts are defined in types/index.ts.

You can override this with:

MC_DATA_DIR=/absolute/path/to/data

This is useful for testing and isolated environments.
