Course Outline

OpenClaw Foundations and Safety Model

  • Understanding what OpenClaw is, its limitations, and when it is suitable
  • Core concepts: agents, tools, skills, memory, connectors, and approvals
  • Corporate considerations: data sensitivity, environment separation, and safe defaults

Setup, Configuration, and Initial Agent Run

  • Prerequisites check: Node.js, Git, API keys, and workspace directories
  • Install OpenClaw, verify the installation, and understand the project structure
  • Connect an LLM provider, set core configuration parameters, and validate connectivity
  • Execute a starter agent with read-only actions initially, then add controlled write capabilities

Utilizing Built-in Tools and Effective Prompting

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

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: build a small workflow that uses memory cautiously (with clear stop conditions)

Developing and Testing a Custom Skill

  • Skill structure, inputs/outputs, and how OpenClaw discovers and executes skills
  • Implement a business-oriented skill (example: summarizing a folder of reports into a brief)
  • Testing approach: sample inputs, expected outputs, error handling, and documentation

Integrations, Operations, and Next Steps

  • Integration patterns: chat and ticket workflows within a secure sandbox environment
  • Designing repeatable automation flows: trigger, action, review, approvals, and handoff
  • Operational fundamentals: logging, auditability, configuration management, and pilot readiness checklist

Requirements

  • Familiarity with basic command-line operations (folders, paths, environment variables)
  • Ability to install and run developer tools on your workstation (Git, Node.js)
  • Basic experience with JavaScript or scripting (reading code and making minor edits)

Audience

  • Developers and automation engineers looking to build AI-powered assistants and internal tooling
  • IT and operations professionals aiming to automate recurring support and administrative tasks
  • Technical product owners and team leads evaluating self-hosted AI agent solutions
