Step 1: onboarding and a stable base
You need a stable base first. If you skip this, the agents you create later will sit on top of a fragile setup.

openclaw dashboardStep 2: add or define the first agent
The point is not creating ten abstract agents. The point is defining one with a precise role, a clear task, and understandable limits.
openclaw agents add
openclaw configure Step 3: use plugins and tools only when they help
Plugins add concrete capabilities. The typical mistake is installing too many too early. It is far better to start with one useful workflow and add only what actually matters.
