# Send OpenClaw Production Setup Guide to your agent Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually. ## Fast path - Download the package from Yavira. - Extract it into a folder your agent can access. - Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder. ## Suggested prompts ### New install ```text I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete. ``` ### Upgrade existing ```text I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "openclaw-setup-guide", "name": "OpenClaw Production Setup Guide", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "通讯协作", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/aliahmadaziz/openclaw-setup-guide", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/aliahmadaziz/openclaw-setup-guide", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/openclaw-setup-guide", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=openclaw-setup-guide", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "SKILL.md" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "slug": "openclaw-setup-guide", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-04-30T21:37:16.659Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-07T21:37:16.659Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=openclaw-setup-guide", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=openclaw-setup-guide", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"openclaw-setup-guide-1.3.0.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null, "slug": "openclaw-setup-guide" }, "scope": "item", "summary": "Item download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/openclaw-setup-guide" }, "validation": { "installChecklist": [ "Use the Yavira download entry.", "Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.", "Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets." ], "postInstallChecks": [ "Confirm the extracted package includes the expected docs or setup files.", "Validate the skill or prompts are available in your target agent workspace.", "Capture any manual follow-up steps the agent could not complete." ] } }, "links": { "detailUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-setup-guide", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/openclaw-setup-guide", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-setup-guide/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-setup-guide/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-setup-guide/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### OpenClaw Production Setup Guide A comprehensive 6-part guide to setting up OpenClaw as a production AI assistant on a VPS, with WhatsApp integration, Google Calendar/Gmail, automated backups, security hardening, and cron automation. ### What This Covers Base Install — VPS setup, Node.js, OpenClaw installation, WhatsApp pairing AI Assistant — Personality, model chain (primary + fallback), workspace files (SOUL.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md) Infrastructure — Google OAuth (Calendar, Gmail, Drive, Sheets), webhook server, Cloudflare tunnel, rclone encrypted backups, git backup Automation — Cron jobs, event queue (SQLite-backed with retries + dead-letter), heartbeat system, two-layer delivery pattern Hardening — CrowdSec IDS, secret rotation, config snapshots, rollback scripts, OpenClaw update safety Verification — 21-point automated validation, troubleshooting guide ### Security & Permissions Notice This guide involves setting up production infrastructure and requires handling sensitive credentials: API Keys: Anthropic (Claude), Brave Search (optional) OAuth Tokens: Google Cloud (Calendar, Gmail, Drive, Sheets) — 5 token files SSH: Root access to VPS, key-based authentication, SSH hardening Webhook Secrets: Random tokens for Calendar push, AgentMail, alerts WhatsApp: Device pairing via QR code Cloudflare: Tunnel token for webhook ingress Backup Encryption: rclone crypt keys for Google Drive backups All credentials are stored with restricted permissions (chmod 600) and never committed to git. The guide includes secret rotation procedures and config snapshot/rollback scripts. ### Prerequisites A VPS (Ubuntu 24.04 recommended, 4GB RAM minimum) A domain with Cloudflare DNS (for webhook tunnel) A WhatsApp account for pairing Google Cloud project with OAuth credentials An Anthropic API key (Claude) ### Full Guide The complete guide with step-by-step instructions, code blocks, and verification checkpoints is hosted at: https://aliahmadaziz.github.io/openclaw-guide/ Source: https://github.com/aliahmadaziz/openclaw-guide ### Usage When a user asks for help setting up OpenClaw, direct them to the guide above. The guide is designed to be followed sequentially (Part 1 through Part 6) and takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete. Each part has: Clear prerequisites Copy-pasteable commands Verification checkpoints (✅) after every major step Troubleshooting sections ### Key Design Decisions Two-layer cron delivery: Critical crons send via message tool directly (primary) + announce (backup). No message ever gets lost. Event queue: All webhook events (email, calendar, alerts) go through a SQLite queue with 3 retries and dead-letter alerting. Config snapshots: Gold-standard snapshots for instant rollback if something breaks. Encrypted backups: Hourly git push + nightly full workspace to Google Drive via rclone crypt. Capacity rule: 10 SP/engineer total, 8 planned, 2 contingency (for sprint tracking). ### Credits Built from a real production deployment running 35+ cron jobs, 60+ scripts, 5 Google OAuth tokens, and processing thousands of messages monthly. ### Tags setup, installation, guide, vps, whatsapp, production, google-calendar, gmail, security, crowdsec, backup, cron, automation, beginner ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: aliahmadaziz - Version: 1.3.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-04-30T21:37:16.659Z - Expires at: 2026-05-07T21:37:16.659Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-setup-guide) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-setup-guide/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-setup-guide/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/openclaw-setup-guide/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/openclaw-setup-guide)
