+# CLI Backends
+
+## Overview
+
+OpenClaw enables execution of local AI command-line interfaces as a fallback mechanism when primary API providers experience outages, rate limitations, or performance issues. This feature operates in text-only mode with these characteristics:
+
+- Tool functionality remains disabled
+- Text input produces text output reliably
+- Session support maintains conversational coherence
+- Image pass-through available if the CLI supports image paths
+
+## Quick Start
+
+The system ships with pre-configured defaults for Claude and Codex CLIs, allowing immediate use without additional setup:
+
+```bash
+openclaw agent --message "hi" --model claude-cli/opus-4.6
+```
+
+For systems with minimal PATH variables, specify the command location explicitly through configuration.
+
+## Fallback Configuration
+
+Integrate CLI backends into your fallback chain by adding them to your model configuration. The system attempts the primary provider first, then progresses through fallback options upon failure. Note: If you use `agents.defaults.models` (allowlist), you must include `claude-cli/...`
+
+## Technical Architecture
+
+The implementation follows this sequence:
+
+1. Provider identification from model reference prefix
+2. System prompt construction using OpenClaw context
+3. CLI execution with session persistence
+4. Output parsing and response return
+5. Session ID storage for follow-up continuity
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+Key parameters include session arguments, resume commands for resuming conversations, image handling modes, input/output formats, and model name aliasing for CLI compatibility.
+
+## Built-in Defaults
+
+Claude CLI ships with JSON output formatting and permission-skipping flags. Codex CLI uses JSONL streaming with read-only sandbox mode. Override only the `command` path when needed.
+
+## Constraints
+
+The feature explicitly excludes OpenClaw tool integration, streaming output, and full structured output support. Session resumption varies by CLI implementation.
