Summary of "How to make ClawdBot 10x better (5 easy steps)"
Goal / Overview
Concise summary of a tutorial for making Claude (aka “Claudebot” / OpenClaw) more powerful and productive. The video presents five practical improvements with prompts and examples (provided in the video description) that produce better memory continuity, cost savings, faster responses, proactive automation, and custom tooling.
Five practical improvements
1) Fix Claude’s memory behavior
- Problem: Claude’s automatic “memory compaction” (to save tokens) can cause it to forget important recent details after compaction.
- Two settings to enable/fix this:
- Memory Flush: record the most important parts of a conversation immediately before compaction so they persist.
- Session Memory Search: allow Claude to search your full conversation history when it appears to have forgotten something.
- Action: paste the provided prompt (in the video description) into Claude to enable both features — improves continuity and reduces forgotten details.
2) Use the right model for each task (“brain” vs “muscles”)
- Concept: treat a general model as the “brain” and plug in specialist models as “muscles” for specific tasks to improve quality and lower cost.
- Recommended mapping:
- Opus 45 — general reasoning / conversation (brain)
- Codeex (CodeX) — coding / development tasks
- Gemini — web search / browsing
- Grok — social search / social network tasks
- Action: configure Claude to call the appropriate external APIs (supply API keys) so it routes tasks to the optimal model — faster, cheaper, higher-quality outputs.
3) Brain dump + expectation setting (make Claude proactive)
- Brain dump: provide comprehensive personal/contextual info (goals, routines, preferences, relationships, hobbies) so Claude’s outputs are personalized.
- Expectation setting: explicitly define the working relationship (for example, be proactive, work overnight) so Claude autonomously performs tasks and delivers surprises.
- Action: spend ~10 minutes feeding context and instruct Claude to act like an employee (proactive, able to work overnight).
4) Reverse prompting
- Concept: instead of always telling Claude what to do, ask Claude to generate the prompts it needs — e.g., “What do you need from me to do better work?” or “Based on what you know, what tasks should you be doing?”
- Benefit: Claude can design better, more relevant tasks and request precisely the information it needs, boosting productivity.
- Action: use the reverse-prompt templates provided in the description and have Claude ask clarifying questions or produce its own task prompts.
5) Have Claude build its own tooling (extensibility / “vibe coding”)
- Capabilities: Claude can program custom tools and UIs such as task boards, Kanban boards, document viewers, memory/document aggregators, CRM, and project boards.
- Workflow: install the coding model (Codeex) as the coding “muscle,” then ask Claude “what tooling can we build?” — it will generate dashboards/missions to track tasks, memories, captured items, people, etc.
- Benefit: tailored productivity tooling that reflects your workflow and Claude’s output history.
Claimed benefits
- Much-improved memory continuity
- Cost savings (using specialist, cheaper models for specific tasks)
- Faster responses
- Proactive automation and overnight work
- Higher productivity by leveraging specialist models and custom tooling
Action checklist (quick)
- Enable Memory Flush and Session Memory Search via the prompt in the video description.
- Configure model routing: Opus 45 for general tasks + Codeex / Gemini / Grok for specialists.
- Do a 10-minute brain dump and set expectations for Claude’s behavior.
- Use reverse prompts: ask Claude what it needs and have it generate task prompts.
- Install Codeex and ask Claude to build custom tooling (task boards, dashboards, etc.).
