# Product naming

> Which surfaces say WednesdayAI and which stay openclaw: product name, wednesdayai binary with permanent openclaw alias, and the identifiers that never change.

# Product naming

**WednesdayAI** is the product name. A large set of operator surfaces still use the **openclaw** identifier on purpose, so existing installs, scripts, and state directories keep working across upgrades. Both layers are correct — do not "fix" operator paths to WednesdayAI names unless a future migration explicitly says so.

## Two layers

| Layer                         | Name                            | Examples                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Model-visible / teaching      | **WednesdayAI** / `wednesdayai` | System prompt identity, section headings, tool descriptions the model reads, skill prose, workspace templates, docs URL taught to the model (`docs.wednesdayai.dev`), primary CLI spelling in prompts |
| Operator / on-disk / protocol | **openclaw** (unchanged)        | `~/.openclaw/`, `openclaw.json`, `OPENCLAW_*` env vars, systemd/launchd unit names, `openclaw/plugin-sdk` import, `openclaw` bin alias, internal types, transcript sentinels, schema ids              |

## CLI binaries

* **Primary:** `wednesdayai`
* **Permanent alias:** `openclaw` (same entrypoint, `openclaw.mjs`)

Prefer `wednesdayai` in new runbooks; existing scripts calling `openclaw` remain valid forever — the alias is a compatibility guarantee, not a deprecation.

```bash theme={"dark"}
wednesdayai --version    # and equivalently
openclaw --version
```

## What stays openclaw (do not rename)

Keep these as `openclaw` / `OPENCLAW` even when they appear near WednesdayAI-branded text:

* All `OPENCLAW_*` environment variables
* State dir `~/.openclaw/` and config file `openclaw.json`
* Service and socket names (`openclaw-gateway.service`, etc.)
* Plugin SDK import `openclaw/plugin-sdk`, manifest filename `openclaw.plugin.json` (legacy manifest key fallback included)
* Transcript sentinel `__OPENCLAW_REDACTED__`, schema id `openclaw.inbound_meta.v1`, provenance `provider: "openclaw"`

## System prompt markers

Assembled prompts embed HTML-comment markers (ADR 0051):

* `<!-- WEDNESDAYAI_CACHE_BOUNDARY -->` — splits the cache-stable prefix when `agents.defaults.systemPrompt.cache.boundary` is `"auto"` (default)
* `<!-- WEDNESDAYAI_PROJECT_CONTEXT_END -->` — ends the project-context block

### Upgrade impact

Changing the cache-boundary marker text invalidates provider prompt-cache prefixes. After upgrading across the rename:

* Expect a **one-time cold cache** on the first turn of each session/model (higher latency and cache-write cost once).
* No config change is required for markers.
* Out-of-tree tooling that grepped old marker strings needs updating.

## Workspace seed files

New workspaces and bundled templates ship WednesdayAI prose. Existing workspaces are **not** rewritten on upgrade — edit `AGENTS.md` / `IDENTITY.md` yourself if older wording remains in operator-owned files.

## Verify after upgrade

```bash theme={"dark"}
wednesdayai --version
wednesdayai gateway status --deep
```

Then in a fresh chat session, confirm the model-visible identity line says WednesdayAI, and `/context list` reports the cache boundary and project-context sizes cleanly.
