OpenClaw Setup Skill
You are Claude Code. You are setting up a complete OpenClaw personal AI assistant for the user. Follow each phase in order. Do not skip steps. Ask the user for required information at each stage, then execute the commands yourself. For a feature overview you can share with the user, see references/openclaw-installation-human-guide.md.
How This Works
The user gave you this skill. Your job is to walk them through deploying their own 24/7 personal AI assistant on AWS. Collect what you need from them (API keys, preferences), then SSH into their server and run everything. Confirm before moving between phases. Estimated setup time: 45-90 minutes Estimated monthly cost: $15-50 depending on model choice and usage
Phase 1: Gather Requirements
Ask the user for the following. Collect everything before starting infrastructure: Required: AWS account access (existing account, or walk them through creating one at aws.amazon.com) Anthropic API key (from console.anthropic.com, needed for Claude) Telegram account (they'll create a bot via @BotFather) Preferred timezone and daily schedule (for heartbeat and cron setup) Their name and how they want to be addressed Optional but recommended: Groq API key (free at console.groq.com, for voice transcription) OpenAI API key (for memory search embeddings, very low cost) Google Workspace account (for calendar/email/drive integration) Domain name (for SSL, not required) Model: Always recommend Opus as the default. It delivers the best experience and is worth the cost for a personal AI assistant. Mention Sonnet as a fallback only if the user has strict budget constraints. Once you have these, proceed to Phase 2.
2.1 Launch EC2 Instance
Walk the user through the AWS Console (or use CLI if they have it configured): Instance type: m7i-flex.large (2 vCPUs, 8GB RAM) โ free tier eligible for new AWS accounts (first 12 months). If the user's account is older than 12 months and no longer free tier eligible, use t3.small (2 vCPUs, 2GB RAM) as a budget alternative. AMI: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (latest) Storage: 30GB gp3 EBS volume Security groups: Open ports 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS) Key pair: Create new, have user save the .pem file securely Elastic IP: Allocate and associate with the instance Tell the user: "Save the .pem key file somewhere safe. You'll need it to SSH into your server."
2.2 Connect and Prepare
Once the instance is running, SSH in: ssh -i /path/to/key.pem ubuntu@<ELASTIC_IP> Run initial setup: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y sudo apt install -y curl git build-essential # Set up swap (prevents out-of-memory on smaller instances) sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile sudo chmod 600 /swapfile sudo mkswap /swapfile sudo swapon /swapfile echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
3.1 Install Node.js 22+
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt install -y nodejs node -v # should be 22+
3.2 Configure npm global directory
mkdir -p ~/.npm-global npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global' echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc
3.3 Install OpenClaw
npm install -g openclaw openclaw --version
3.4 Initialize workspace
mkdir -p ~/agent cd ~/agent openclaw init This creates the workspace: AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md, and the config structure.
Phase 4: Create Telegram Bot
Walk the user through this on their phone or Telegram desktop: Open Telegram, search for @BotFather Send /newbot Choose a display name (e.g., "My AI Assistant") Choose a username (must end in bot, e.g., myai_assistant_bot) Copy the bot token (a long string like 7123456789:AAF...) Tell the user: "Send me the bot token. I'll configure it now."
5.1 Core config
Use openclaw config or edit the config file directly. Set up: { "channels": { "telegram": { "accounts": { "main": { "token": "<TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN>" } } } }, "llm": { "provider": "anthropic", "apiKey": "<ANTHROPIC_API_KEY>", "model": "<CHOSEN_MODEL>" } } Recommended model: claude-opus-4-5-20250501 (Opus) Fallback if budget-constrained: claude-sonnet-4-20250514 (Sonnet)
5.2 Voice transcription (if Groq key provided)
{ "tools": { "media": { "audio": { "provider": "groq", "apiKey": "<GROQ_API_KEY>" } } } }
5.3 Memory search (if OpenAI key provided)
{ "memory": { "search": { "provider": "openai", "apiKey": "<OPENAI_API_KEY>" } } } Uses text-embedding-3-small. Cost is negligible (~$0.02 per million tokens).
Phase 6: Google Workspace Integration (if requested)
This is the most complex step. Only do it if the user wants calendar/email/drive access.
6.1 Google Cloud Console setup
Walk the user through console.cloud.google.com: Create or select a project Enable APIs: Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, Docs Configure OAuth consent screen (External, add user as test user) Create OAuth client ID (Desktop app) Download the client_secret_*.json file
6.2 Install gog CLI
# Install Go if not present sudo snap install go --classic # Build gog git clone https://github.com/steipete/gogcli.git cd gogcli && make build sudo cp bin/gog /usr/local/bin/ cd ~/agent
6.3 Authenticate
gog auth credentials ~/Downloads/client_secret_*.json # Choose a keyring password (user should remember this) GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD=<password> gog auth add <user-email> \ --services gmail,calendar,drive,contacts,sheets,docs --manual The manual flag gives a URL to paste in browser. User authorizes, copies the code back.
6.4 Add env vars to OpenClaw config
The workspace needs GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD and GOG_ACCOUNT set as environment variables. Add them to the systemd service (Phase 8) or export in .bashrc.
6.5 Verify
GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD=<password> GOG_ACCOUNT=<email> gog calendar list GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD=<password> GOG_ACCOUNT=<email> gog gmail search "is:unread" --max 5
7.1 Firewall
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp sudo ufw allow 80/tcp sudo ufw allow 443/tcp sudo ufw enable
7.2 fail2ban
sudo apt install -y fail2ban sudo systemctl enable fail2ban sudo systemctl start fail2ban
7.3 SSH hardening
sudo sed -i 's/#PasswordAuthentication yes/PasswordAuthentication no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config sudo systemctl restart sshd
7.4 SSL (if domain provided)
sudo apt install -y certbot sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d <domain>
Phase 8: Personalize the Workspace
This is where the assistant becomes THEIRS.
8.1 SOUL.md
Ask the user: "How do you want your assistant to talk to you? Casual? Professional? Direct? Friendly?" Write a SOUL.md that matches their preference. Include: Communication style and tone Whether to be proactive or wait for instructions Any boundaries (what NOT to do without asking)
8.2 USER.md
Ask the user about themselves: Name, timezone, location What they do (work, hobbies, projects) Family/people to know about (optional) Goals and priorities Communication preferences
8.3 HEARTBEAT.md
Set up periodic check-ins based on their needs. Common ones: Email scan (2-4x daily) Calendar alerts (upcoming events) Custom checks based on their workflow
8.4 Cron jobs (optional)
If they want scheduled briefings: Morning briefing (daily at their wake time) Evening debrief (daily before bed) Weekly review Custom reminders
9.1 Create systemd service
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/openclaw-gateway.service << 'EOF' [Unit] Description=OpenClaw Gateway After=network.target [Service] Type=simple User=ubuntu WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/agent ExecStart=/home/ubuntu/.npm-global/bin/openclaw gateway start --foreground Restart=always RestartSec=10 Environment=PATH=/home/ubuntu/.npm-global/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin # Add GOG env vars here if Google integration is set up: # Environment=GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD=<password> # Environment=GOG_ACCOUNT=<email> [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target EOF
9.2 Start it
sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable openclaw-gateway sudo systemctl start openclaw-gateway
9.3 Verify it's running
sudo systemctl status openclaw-gateway
Phase 10: Test Everything
Run through this checklist with the user: Send a test message to the Telegram bot. Verify response. Send a voice note (if Groq configured). Verify transcription. Ask it to remember something. Restart the service. Ask again. Verify persistence. Ask it to check calendar/email (if Google configured). Verify access. Wait for a heartbeat. Verify proactive check-in fires. Ask it "what's my name?" Verify it reads USER.md correctly. If any test fails, troubleshoot before moving on.
Phase 11: User Training
Walk the user through: Basic use: Just message the bot. It remembers everything. Voice notes: Send voice messages for hands-free interaction. Memory: It learns over time. Correct it when it's wrong, it'll remember. Commands: /status shows system health. openclaw gateway restart if something breaks. Customization: Edit SOUL.md to change personality. Edit HEARTBEAT.md to change check-in schedule. Files: MEMORY.md is long-term memory. USER.md is about you. Both are editable. Skills: Install new capabilities from clawdhub.com (clawdhub install <skill-name>).
