Prompt

One route

A prompt is a request for one route. You are not handing the runtime the rest of the afternoon. You are naming a move you want attempted, with the vault as the source of size and Solana as the place it would settle. The Prompt agent entry on the desk is that door.

One route still has the shape of a cycle. There is a think, a buy with a contract, and a sell with a result. The difference from trench mode is the reason the cycle started, and the expectation that it is this route rather than whatever the newest pair happens to be. OpenAI is the reader that helps turn the words into that single holdable route.

The last word

The last word is yours. A prompt is how you keep it. The runtime should not expand one name into a tour, and it should not treat your sentence as a suggestion it may ignore because the tape is louder. If the pair cannot be found, the honest result is a cycle that does not invent a mint. If the pair can be found, the honest result is one buy and one sell you can find in Activity.

The last word is not a guarantee of profit. The sell can still be a loss in the 0.5 to 1.1 SOL band, or a win in the 0.1 to 0.4 SOL band. What you were guaranteed was the scope: one route, recorded like any other close, with the contract visible.

Switching modes

You can prompt a single route and later leave trench mode on. You can leave the loop on and later ask for one specific move. The desk is one OpenClaw runtime with two postures, not two accounts. Switching does not split the vault. The balance you had before the switch is the balance the next close will move.

After a switch, read the console before you assume which posture you are in. The phase label and the rhythm of the lines tell you whether the loop is free running. A single Bought and Sold pair, then quiet, is the shape of a prompted route that has finished. A steady minute by minute rhythm is trench mode.

The runtime underneath

Under either posture the runtime is OpenClaw, the network is Solana, and the book is the vault. Prompting does not rent a different stack. It uses the same feed, the same activity list, and the same win rate. If a prompted sell and a trench sell sit on the same page of Activity, that is correct. They are both the agent.

Read OpenClaw if you want the runtime as a whole, and Trench mode if you want the standing loop. This page is only the case where you asked for one route and kept the last word.
