Connect AI coding assistants to your OpenClaw gateway
What are Coding Agents?
Coding agents are specialized AI assistants designed for:
- Writing and debugging code
- Code review and optimization
- Explaining codebases
- Generating documentation
- Automating repetitive coding tasks
Popular Coding Agents
- **Claude (Anthropic)**: Excellent for code understanding and generation
- **GPT-4 (OpenAI)**: Strong coding capabilities
- **Pi (Anthropic)**: Optimized for code assistance
- **Local Models**: Llama, Mistral (for self-contained setups)
Configuration
Configure your coding agent in openclaw.json:
```json
{
"model": {
"provider": "anthropic",
"model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
"apiKey": "your-api-key",
"maxTokens": 4096,
"temperature": 0.3
}
}
```
Best Practices
- Use appropriate temperature (lower for code)
- Set reasonable token limits
- Enable streaming for better UX
- Add context about your codebase
- Use system prompts for consistency
