Setup

Optional step 0: Remove old V3 CLI, connectors, and integrations

If this machine still has the old V3 CLI, connectors, OpenClaw integration, or Hermes memory provider installed, remove them before setting up the V4 skill:
curl -fsSL https://www.byterover.dev/uninstall-v3.sh | sh
This removes old V3 command-line tools and connectors. It also removes the old OpenClaw integration and Hermes memory provider when they are detected. It does not migrate V3 memory data.
