OpenClaw Fundamentals and Safety Model

  • Understanding OpenClaw: its capabilities, limitations, and ideal use cases.
  • Core concepts: agents, tools, skills, memory, connectors, and approval mechanisms.
  • Corporate considerations: data sensitivity, environment isolation, and safe default settings.

Setup, Configuration, and Initial Agent Execution

  • Verification of prerequisites: Node.js, Git, API keys, and workspace directories.
  • Installing OpenClaw, validating the setup, and understanding the project structure.
  • Integrating an LLM provider, configuring core settings, and confirming connectivity.
  • Running a starter agent with read-only actions, progressively introducing controlled write actions.

Leveraging Built-in Tools and Effective Prompting

  • Utilizing common tools for file management, shell commands, and simple web tasks.
  • Prompting strategies for predictable execution, including constraints, step-by-step plans, and confirmations.
  • Reviewing agent outputs, tool calls, and execution traces to identify issues early.

Skills and Memory in Practice
