Summary
Nextcloud Talk (and potentially other chat platforms) intercepts input
beginning with / as its own internal commands. This means the standard
OpenClaw slash-command mechanism (/new, /reset, /status, etc.) is
completely non-functional in Nextcloud Talk channels — the commands never
reach the bot at all.
Disabling commands.text allows text-based workarounds for most commands
(e.g. typing "status" without slash), but there is still no way to reset
a single session's context without restarting the entire Gateway.
Problem to solve
Add a CLI command or gateway RPC method to reset a specific session:
openclaw sessions reset --key "agent:main:nextcloud-talk:group:xxx"
or
openclaw gateway call session.reset '{"sessionKey": "..."}'
Proposed solution
/new and /reset are intercepted by Nextcloud Talk before reaching OpenClaw
openclaw gateway restart resets ALL sessions — disruptive in multi-user setups
- Users on affected channels have no way to clear their own context
Current state
- openclaw sessions → ✅ lists sessions
- openclaw sessions cleanup → ✅ maintenance
- openclaw sessions reset → ❌ missing
- openclaw gateway call session.* → ❌ no session management RPCs
