What is OpenClaw Quickstart?
OpenClaw Quickstart is the definitive onboarding skill designed to bridge the gap between installation and productivity. It provides a structured, guided experience that transforms new users into power users by demonstrating the core capabilities of Openclaw Skills. Through a series of 8 micro-tasks, the skill ensures that users understand how to manage AI identity, persistent memory, and complex automation workflows within their local environment.
Rather than providing static documentation, this skill acts as a mentor that monitors progress in real-time. It leverages background heartbeats and automated reminders to keep users engaged, ensuring they successfully configure their workspace, integrate external tools like browsers, and even learn to extend their agent's capabilities by installing additional skills from the ecosystem.
OpenClaw Quickstart Use Cases
- New users setting up their environment for the first time to explore Openclaw Skills.
- Developers looking to understand the core feature set of the agent.
- Users who want to verify their installation and tool integration including weather, browser, and PPT generation.
- Onboarding team members to a standardized AI agent workflow.
How OpenClaw Quickstart Works
- The skill automatically initializes on first activation, setting up progress tracking and daily reminders.
- It checks current task status by analyzing a local progress JSON file in the workspace.
- Users are guided through 8 specific tasks with step-by-step instructions provided by the agent.
- Upon successful action, such as writing a configuration file or fetching weather data, the skill programmatically marks the task as complete.
- A background heartbeat monitor detects updates and triggers graduation once all tasks are finalized, cleaning up temporary cron jobs.
OpenClaw Quickstart Setup
To get started with OpenClaw Quickstart, simply trigger the skill by asking your agent "How do I get started?". The skill will automatically handle the initial installation. To manually run the installer or check progress, use the following commands:
# Manual installation and environment setup
node scripts/install.js --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace
# Check current onboarding progress manually
node scripts/check_progress.js --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace
