Colophon

How the site is built, what it's licensed under, and the small details that don't fit in methodology but matter when you're inspecting a craft project.

Stack

Framework: Astro 5 + MDX + React 18 (islands only)
Search: Pagefind — wired in build, UI to ship in P0b polish
Hosting: Cloudflare Pages via custom REST API deploy script (wrangler is broken on win32-arm64)
Type system: TypeScript strict mode + Zod-validated content frontmatter
CI: GitHub Actions — auto-deploy on push to main + integrity check on every PR
Domain: claw.aguidetocloud.com, Cloudflare-proxied CNAME to claw-planet.pages.dev
SSL cert: Google CA via Cloudflare Pages

Typography

Body + UI: Inter (Google Fonts CDN, weights 400 / 500 / 600 / 700)
Mono: JetBrains Mono (Google Fonts CDN, weights 400 / 500 / 600)
Stylistic set: Inter ss01 for refined alt characters

Design system

Brand colour: OpenClaw red #FF2626 (light) / #FF4747 (dark, slightly softened to reduce retinal strain on dark backgrounds)
Logo: Bracket Mark [*] — square brackets in ink, asterisk in OpenClaw red. Reads as "footnote · annotation · code reference."
Light + dark modes: via [data-theme] attribute with system-preference default + localStorage persistence. No flash of wrong theme on first load (pre-paint script).
Layout: 3-column page grid (sidebar TOC · main reading · margin notes). Responsive collapse below 1280px (margin column hides) and 880px (sidebar hides).
Texture: faint graph-paper grid background at 30–50% opacity
Section numbering: § 1 through § 10. Sub-numbering (§ 2.3, § 6.1) for entries within sections.

Independence + Microsoft disclosure

Claw Planet is an independent guide by Sush. Not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenClaw, ClawHub, or any plugin author unless explicitly stated.

Sush works at Microsoft — Microsoft makes Azure. We cover Azure where it's a sensible OpenClaw option; we don't favour it because of who pays the bills. Inline disclosure on Azure-related pages (§ 2.5 Azure).

No paid tier. No email walls. No telemetry. No affiliate links.

Cosmos

Claw Planet is part of the aguidetocloud.com cosmos. Sister sites:

Agentic Planet — cockpit-style field guide for the broader agentic AI space
Learn — the parent learning portal

Each planet has its own visual system, voice, and physics. They don't follow a shared cosmos grid; they share the brand-family voice (plain English, honest take) and the deploy infrastructure pattern.

Build status

Live at claw.aguidetocloud.com. Soft-launch posture (recently flipped from noindex to public). Voice lint clean, verification-state audit clean, integrity check passing.

Acknowledgements

Thanks to the OpenClaw maintainers for the docs, the Discord community for grounding, and the MCP project for the protocol that lets all this fit together. This site is editorial commentary on real work done by real teams; the work is theirs.

Errata

When we fix a substantial error (factual, not typo), we note it on the relevant entry and in § 8 Updates. We don't quietly silently revise.
