canvasHost.root directoryThe canvas host server binds based on gateway.bind setting:
| Bind Mode | Server Binds To | Canvas URL Uses |
| ---------- | ------------------- | -------------------------- |
| loopback | 127.0.0.1 | localhost (local only) |
| lan | LAN interface | LAN IP address |
| tailnet | Tailscale interface | Tailscale hostname |
| auto | Best available | Tailscale > LAN > loopback |
Key insight: The canvasHostHostForBridge is derived from bridgeHost. When bound to Tailscale, nodes receive URLs like:
http://<tailscale-hostname>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/<file>.html
This is why localhost URLs don't work - the node receives the Tailscale hostname from the bridge!
| Action | Description |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------ |
| present | Show canvas with optional target URL |
| hide | Hide the canvas |
| navigate | Navigate to a new URL |
| eval | Execute JavaScript in the canvas |
| snapshot | Capture screenshot of canvas |
In ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
{
"canvasHost": {
"enabled": true,
"port": 18793,
"root": "/Users/you/clawd/canvas",
"liveReload": true
},
"gateway": {
"bind": "auto"
}
}
When liveReload: true (default), the canvas host:
Great for development!
Place files in the canvas root directory (default ~/clawd/canvas/):
cat > ~/clawd/canvas/my-game.html << 'HTML'
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>My Game</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Hello Canvas!</h1>
</body>
</html>
HTML
Check how your gateway is bound:
cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | jq '.gateway.bind'
Then construct the URL:
http://127.0.0.1:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/<file>.htmlhttp://<hostname>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/<file>.htmlFind your Tailscale hostname:
tailscale status --json | jq -r '.Self.DNSName' | sed 's/\.$//'
openclaw nodes list
Look for Mac/iOS/Android nodes with canvas capability.
canvas action:present node:<node-id> target:<full-url>
Example:
canvas action:present node:mac-63599bc4-b54d-4392-9048-b97abd58343a target:http://peters-mac-studio-1.sheep-coho.ts.net:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/snake.html
canvas action:navigate node:<node-id> url:<new-url>
canvas action:snapshot node:<node-id>
canvas action:hide node:<node-id>
Cause: URL mismatch between server bind and node expectation.
Debug steps:
cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | jq '.gateway.bind'lsof -i :18793curl http://<hostname>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/<file>.htmlSolution: Use the full hostname matching your bind mode, not localhost.
Always specify node:<node-id> parameter.
Node is offline. Use openclaw nodes list to find online nodes.
If live reload isn't working:
liveReload: true in configThe canvas host serves from /__openclaw__/canvas/ prefix:
http://<host>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/index.html → ~/clawd/canvas/index.html
http://<host>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/games/snake.html → ~/clawd/canvas/games/snake.html
The /__openclaw__/canvas/ prefix is defined by CANVAS_HOST_PATH constant.

Simulate a strict academic reviewer and produce a manuscript risk report without editing the draft. Use when the user asks to act as a reviewer, find weaknesses before submission, inspect evidence gaps, check overclaims, evaluate manuscript readiness, combine advisor notes or meeting minutes into revision priorities, or generate a 审稿人模拟检查 report.
development
Build or reorganize an academic paper project workspace with clear folders and local instructions for literature, drafts, feedback, extracted text, and output reports. Use when the user wants to set up a论文工作台, organize mixed manuscript materials, create project rules, or prepare a stable workflow before citation checking, evidence matching, reviewer simulation, or manuscript revision.
testing
Match manuscript claims against user-provided literature and produce a traceable claim-evidence table. Use when the user asks to add references, check whether PDFs support manuscript statements, find supporting or opposing evidence from a literature folder, distinguish strong support from background support, or create a 论点-证据匹配 report for an academic draft.
