Direct answer: Integrate ByteRover with OpenClaw by building a skill that explicitly calls ByteRover’s documented REST/GraphQL APIs, registering that skill and its runtime configuration in ClawHub, and managing authentication using a proper OAuth or API-key flow stored in ClawHub’s secret/config area. Keep stateful or long-running work outside the agent (in your own web service or queue), validate webhooks from ByteRover with HMAC or a signature, and use logs, API responses, and token scopes to debug. Below are concrete, actionable steps, security practices, runtime boundaries, debugging techniques, and minimal working code examples you can adapt to ByteRover’s actual API docs and to your ClawHub configuration.
<b>//</b> Minimal Express handler for a skill invocation.
<b>//</b> Assumes an environment variable BYTE_ROVER_API_KEY is configured in ClawHub.
import express from 'express';
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.post('/skill/invoke', async (req, res) => {
try {
<b>//</b> Validate input minimally
const { action, payload } = req.body || {};
if (!action) return res.status(400).json({ error: 'missing action' });
<b>//</b> Call ByteRover API (replace URL with ByteRover's documented endpoint)
const apiKey = process.env.BYTE_ROVER_API_KEY;
const brResponse = await fetch('https://api.byterover.example/v1/action', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ action, payload })
});
<b>//</b> Forward relevant result to the caller, handle errors explicitly
if (!brResponse.ok) {
const errText = await brResponse.text();
return res.status(502).json({ error: 'ByteRover API error', status: brResponse.status, body: errText });
}
const result = await brResponse.json();
return res.json({ success: true, result });
} catch (err) {
console.error('skill handler error', err);
return res.status(500).json({ error: 'internal_error' });
}
});
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('skill handler listening on 3000'));
<b>//</b> Generic OAuth token exchange example. Replace token_url, client_id, client_secret, and redirect_uri.
import express from 'express';
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
const app = express();
app.post('/auth/callback', express.urlencoded({ extended: true }), async (req, res) => {
try {
const code = req.body.code;
if (!code) return res.status(400).send('missing code');
const tokenResp = await fetch('https://auth.byterover.example/oauth/token', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
body: new URLSearchParams({
grant_type: 'authorization_code',
code,
redirect_uri: process.env.OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI,
client_id: process.env.BYTE_ROVER_CLIENT_ID,
client_secret: process.env.BYTE_ROVER_CLIENT_SECRET
})
});
if (!tokenResp.ok) {
const t = await tokenResp.text();
return res.status(502).send('token exchange failed: ' + t);
}
const tokens = await tokenResp.json();
<b>//</b> Persist refresh_token securely (database or secret store), not in raw logs.
// storeRefreshTokenSomewhere(tokens.refresh_token)
return res.json({ tokens });
} catch (err) {
console.error('oauth callback error', err);
return res.status(500).send('internal_error');
}
});
app.listen(3001);
<b>//</b> Webhook receiver with HMAC verification.
import express from 'express';
import crypto from 'crypto';
const app = express();
app.use(express.raw({ type: '*/*' })); <b>//</b> need raw body for HMAC verification
app.post('/webhook/bytterover', (req, res) => {
const secret = process.env.BYTE_ROVER_WEBHOOK_SECRET;
const signatureHeader = req.headers['x-byterover-signature'];
const payload = req.body; <b>//</b> Buffer
const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret).update(payload).digest('hex');
if (!signatureHeader || signatureHeader !== expected) {
console.warn('webhook signature mismatch');
return res.status(401).send('invalid signature');
}
const event = JSON.parse(payload.toString('utf8'));
<b>//</b> enqueue or process event
// enqueueEvent(event)
return res.status(200).send('ok');
});
app.listen(4000);

ByteRover fails to register because the ByteRover client and the running claw-agent speak different protocol versions during the initial handshake: the agent expects one wire-format/version and ByteRover sends another. That mismatch can be caused by using mismatched releases, a stale build, or a proxy/transformation changing handshake fields.
Check component versions and logs first. Update ByteRover or claw-agent so both come from compatible releases. Enable verbose/debug logs on both sides and inspect the handshake payload for a version field. Look for build-tag differences, CI image tags, or a proxy/TLS terminator altering headers. If you built ByteRover locally, rebuild against the matching runtime. Restart the agent after deploying the compatible binary.
2
If you get 401 Unauthorized when ByteRover posts to /v1/nodes, the token ByteRover sends is being rejected — wrong header, wrong token value/type, expired, or lacking the required permission. Fix by confirming the exact header and token expected by claw-api, loading that token into ByteRover’s environment, and testing the registration call directly.
curl -i -X POST "https://claw-api.example/v1/nodes" -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":"node1"}'
<b>//</b> replace with your token and host

ByteRover telemetry usually fails to appear because it was never exported to the claw-collector (misconfigured exporter or missing credentials), the collector rejected or dropped the payload (format/auth/labels), or network/firewall issues prevented delivery — check the agent and collector logs and test the HTTP export path.
Steps to diagnose:
curl -v -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @metrics.json "$CLAW_COLLECTOR_URL" // test push

Direct answer: A missing "undefined symbol: claw_init" means the ByteRover plugin binary doesn't expose the exact init symbol or was built against a different ABI/plugin version than claw-runtime. The fix is to confirm symbol visibility and exact name, match the runtime headers/toolchain/soname, and rebuild the plugin with the correct linkage and visibility.
nm -D libbyterover.so | grep claw_init or readelf -Ws libbyterover.so | grep claw_init.extern "C" for the init function to avoid C++ name mangling.ldd libbyterover.so to ensure no mismatched libs.extern "C" void claw_init() {
// implement plugin init
}
