When to use this page
Use this when you want a phased, task-based practice map instead of scattered setup steps.
Phase 1: Beginner — smallest loop
| # | Task |
|---|---|
| 1 | Check Node.js ≥ 22 (prefer 24). node -v |
| 2 | Install and verify openclaw --version / openclaw --help |
| 3 | Run openclaw onboard --install-daemon (model, API key, platform, permissions) |
| 4 | Have a first conversation; confirm basic replies |
| 5 | Inspect workspace, config, and installed skills |
Standard commands:
node --version
openclaw --version
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
openclaw gateway status
openclaw dashboard
openclaw config list
openclaw skills list
openclaw security audit --deep
Phase 2: Intermediate — skills and automation
| # | Task |
|---|---|
| 6 | Install and test at least 3 skills with real tasks |
| 7 | Connect 1–2 channels you actually use |
| 8 | Create 2 scheduled tasks (daily digest, reminders) |
| 9 | Set up memory (name, language, style) so the agent understands you |
Example skill installs:
openclaw skills install @clawhub/web-search
openclaw skills install @clawhub/summarize
openclaw skills install @clawhub/browser
Phase 3: Advanced — custom skill, multi-agent, tuning
| # | Task |
|---|---|
| 10 | Build a minimal custom skill (weather, todo, price checker) |
| 11 | Configure 2+ Agents with separate models, skills, and permissions |
| 12 | Enable Docker sandbox and run a deeper security audit |
| 13 | Do one browser automation task with a clear goal |
| 14 | Integrate 2 third-party tools (e.g. GitHub, Obsidian) |
| 15 | Start performance and cost tuning; review usage and logs |
Cost and performance commands:
openclaw config set cache.enabled true
openclaw config set cache.ttl 3600
openclaw config set ai.maxConcurrentRequests 3
openclaw config set ai.timeout 30000
openclaw config set ai.dailyLimit 1000
openclaw config set ai.monthlyBudget 50
openclaw stats usage
openclaw stats cost
openclaw logs
What to avoid
Don't rush into multi-agent, browser automation, and heavy integrations before Phases 1 and 2 are stable.

No. Finish Phase 1 first. Add Phase 2 and 3 when the basics are stable.
Start is a minimal path. This page is a structured practice map for systematic learning.
