SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenClaw Setup guides users through provisioning, configuring, and deploying agents on the OpenClaw platform, clarifying the file-based agent model (workspace files, skills, scripts) and how to configure openclaw.json, register agents, and choose deployment paths.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive workspace scaffolding for agents (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md, TOOLS.md) and per-skill SKILL.md.
  • Step-by-step agent registration, gateway setup, and model provider configuration for Docker and Bare-Metal deployments.
  • Guidance on creating and wiring per-agent templates, environment variables, and deployment artifacts to ensure reproducible setups.

Quick Start

Ask me to walk you through provisioning a new OpenClaw agent, including workspace creation, SKILL.md wiring, and gateway configuration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up and deploy OpenClaw agents from scratch?

To set up OpenClaw agents, you scaffold a workspace with SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md, and TOOLS.md files, register the agent, configure the openclaw.json gateway, and choose a Docker or Bare-Metal deployment path.

What is the file-based agent paradigm in OpenClaw and how does it work?

The OpenClaw file-based agent paradigm structures agent behavior through workspace files like SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md, TOOLS.md, and per-skill SKILL.md files, ensuring reproducible setups and clear configuration boundaries.

Can I deploy OpenClaw agents using Docker?

Yes, OpenClaw supports Docker deployment paths for agent provisioning. The setup guides you through configuring required templates, environment variables, and deployment artifacts specifically for containerized agent environments.

What's the best way to configure model providers and gateways for OpenClaw?

Configuring OpenClaw model providers and gateways involves editing the openclaw.json file to define gateway settings and specifying model provider configurations during the agent registration and deployment process.

Do I need specific environment variables to provision an OpenClaw agent?

Yes, provisioning an OpenClaw agent requires specifying environment variables and wiring per-agent templates. The setup process enforces these deployment artifacts to ensure reproducible configurations across Docker or Bare-Metal paths.

How do I wire per-skill SKILL.md files when scaffolding an OpenClaw workspace?

Wiring per-skill SKILL.md files happens during interactive workspace scaffolding. You create the core agent files alongside individual SKILL.md files to define specific skill behaviors within the OpenClaw agent workspace.
