🎁 Condensed Lesson Map

OpenClaw Quickstart
in 20 Minutes

A simpler condensed version of the OpenClaw lesson: what it is, how to set it up, how to run tasks, and how to verify results.

OpenClaw Condensed: 4 Core Steps

No fluff. Just the minimum set of actions to start operating confidently.

01

Install + Onboard

  • curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
  • openclaw onboard --install-daemon
  • openclaw gateway status (must be healthy)
02

Navigate Daily Operations

  • openclaw status for session/tool/channel view
  • openclaw gateway start|stop|restart|status
  • Use a read → do → verify workflow for every task
03

API Keys + MCP Basics

  • Store keys in environment variables or secret managers
  • Validate with live test calls before production
  • Keep tool profiles curated (avoid overload/noise)
04

First Automation Loop

  • Pick one repeat task (reporting, routing, or notifications)
  • Create one SOP prompt + one verification check
  • Run on schedule and monitor outputs weekly
✅ Outcome

By the end of this condensed lesson, you should have a working OpenClaw environment and one repeatable automation running.
