SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires curl, git, jq, nodejs, ufw, fail2ban, unattended-upgrades, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It removes the complexity of setting up a secure, working OpenClaw bot on a fresh DigitalOcean Droplet, so a founder or CEO can get a production-ready AI chief of staff without doing DevOps work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end droplet provisioning: Creates the server, uploads SSH keys, applies a firewall, and boots the bot with cloud-init.
  • Security hardening: Configures key-only SSH access, fail2ban, unattended updates, and systemd sandboxing.
  • Telegram and language setup: Pairs the bot to Telegram, auto-detects chat ID, and configures the bot to reply in the user's language.
  • LLM provider selection: Supports Anthropic, OpenRouter, or OpenAI Codex OAuth, with validation and fallback handling.
  • Use case: A technical founder wants to spin up a CEO assistant in about 15 minutes, connect it to Telegram, and start using it for strategy, pipeline, and operations.
