What is Starter Flow?
Starter Flow is the ultimate entry point for new users entering the OpenClaw ecosystem. Instead of manually researching and installing individual components, this skill provides a unified, interactive interface to set up a curated bundle of five core utilities. It focuses on removing friction for beginners by offering a guided, "one-click" experience that ensures your AI coding environment is ready for action immediately.
Built with a focus on local privacy and user autonomy, Starter Flow allows you to pick and choose exactly which Openclaw Skills you want to enable. Whether you need token estimation, smart routing, or a visual dashboard for your skills, this package handles the heavy lifting of configuration so you can focus on building rather than setup.
Starter Flow Use Cases
- Initializing a fresh OpenClaw environment for the first time.
- Quickly deploying essential monitoring and management tools across different development machines.
- Simplifying the learning curve for team members new to AI agent workflows.
- Batch-installing core utilities like token meters and skill dashboards without manual searching.
How Starter Flow Works
- The user triggers the workflow by typing a natural language command such as "starter" or "quick start".
- Starter Flow displays an interactive checklist of five core Openclaw Skills: token-estimator, smart-router, command-flow, skill-dashboard, and token-water-meter.
- The user selects their desired language (English or Chinese) and chooses which specific skills to install via the terminal UI.
- The system executes the local installation process for each selected skill using bash scripts.
- Once complete, the skill automatically generates a customized "Getting Started" guide to help the user navigate their newly installed tools.
Starter Flow Setup
To begin the onboarding process, ensure you have OpenClaw installed and then run the following command in your terminal:
# Trigger the starter flow via natural language
# You can say "starter", "quick start", or "first time"
openclaw "starter"
You can also manage or uninstall individual components later using standard hub commands:
clawhub uninstall [skill-name]
Starter Flow Data Schema & Taxonomy
Starter Flow maintains a minimal local footprint, primarily managing the installation state of other Openclaw Skills. It organizes its internal metadata and the selected tools as follows:
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| token-estimator | Predicts token usage before execution to save costs |
| smart-router | Automates prompt compression and intelligent routing |
| command-flow | Enables natural language command interpretation |
| skill-dashboard | Provides a visual management interface for all active skills |
| token-water-meter | Monitors real-time API usage and consumption |
All configurations and installation logs are stored locally within the user's environment to ensure privacy.
Starter Flow Advanced Features
- Bilingual interface support with one-click toggling between English and Chinese.
- Granular installation control allowing users to skip specific components based on their workflow needs.
- Automated post-installation onboarding sequence that provides immediate actionable steps.
- High-priority trigger system that responds intuitively to natural language prompts like "first time" or "novice guide".
