Course Outline

OpenClaw Foundations and Safety Model

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

Setup, Configuration, and Initial Agent Execution

  • Prerequisites verification: Node.js, Git, API keys, and workspace directories.
  • Installing OpenClaw, verifying the installation, and navigating the project structure.
  • Connecting an LLM provider, setting up core configurations, and validating connectivity.
  • Running a starter agent with read-only actions initially, then introducing controlled write operations.

Utilizing Built-in Tools and Effective Prompting

  • Working with common tools: files, shell commands, and basic web tasks.
  • Prompting strategies for consistent execution: applying constraints, step plans, and confirmations.
  • Reviewing agent outputs, tool calls, and traces to identify and resolve issues early.

Implementing Skills and Memory in Practice

  • Adding and configuring skills for repeatable workflows.
  • Memory fundamentals: determining what to store, what to avoid, and how to reset safely.
  • Practical exercise: developing a small workflow that leverages memory carefully, including clear stop conditions.

Developing and Testing a Custom Skill

  • Skill structure, inputs and outputs, and how OpenClaw discovers and executes skills.
  • Implementing a small business-oriented skill (e.g., summarizing a folder of reports into a brief).
  • Testing methodology: using sample inputs, verifying expected outputs, handling errors, and documentation.

Integrations, Operations, and Next Steps

  • Integration patterns: managing chat and ticket workflows within a secure sandbox environment.
  • Designing repeatable automation flows: defining triggers, actions, reviews, approvals, and handoffs.
  • Operational basics: logging, auditability, configuration management, and a pilot readiness checklist.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in basic command-line operations (e.g., managing folders, paths, and environment variables).
  • Ability to install and run developer tools on your workstation (including Git and Node.js).
  • Basic experience with JavaScript or scripting (able to read code and make minor edits).

Audience

  • Developers and automation engineers aiming to build AI-powered assistants and internal tools.
  • IT and operations professionals seeking to automate repetitive support and administrative tasks.
  • Technical product owners and team leads assessing self-hosted AI agent solutions.
