Course Outline

OpenClaw Foundations and Safety Model

  • Overview of OpenClaw: its capabilities, limitations, and appropriate use cases for government
  • Key Concepts: agents, tools, skills, memory, connectors, and approval processes
  • Considerations for Government Operations: data security, environment segregation, and default safety measures

Setup, Configuration, and First Agent Run

  • Prerequisites Check: Node.js, Git, API keys, and workspace directories for government use
  • Installation of OpenClaw: verification steps and understanding the project structure for government operations
  • Connecting a Language Model Provider: setting core configurations and validating connectivity for government systems
  • Executing a Starter Agent: initiating with read-only actions followed by controlled write actions to ensure security in government environments

Using Built-in Tools and Reliable Prompting

  • Utilizing Common Tools: file management, shell commands, and basic web tasks for government applications
  • Effective Prompting Techniques: establishing constraints, step plans, and confirmations to ensure predictable execution in government operations
  • Review of Agent Outputs: monitoring tool calls and traces to identify and address issues early in government workflows

Skills and Memory in Practice

  • Adding and Configuring Skills: creating repeatable workflows for government tasks
  • Memory Management: determining what data to store, what to exclude, and safe methods for resetting memory in government systems
  • Practical Exercise: developing a small workflow that utilizes memory judiciously with a clear stop condition for government use

Building and Testing a Custom Skill

  • Skill Development: structure, inputs, outputs, and discovery processes in OpenClaw for government applications
  • Implementation Example: creating a business-oriented skill (e.g., summarizing a folder of reports and generating a concise brief) for government use
  • Testing Methodology: sample inputs, expected outputs, error handling, and comprehensive documentation for government operations

Integrations, Operations, and Next Steps

  • Integration Strategies: incorporating chat and ticket workflows within a secure sandbox environment for government
  • Designing Repeatable Automation Flows: defining triggers, actions, reviews, approvals, and handoffs in government processes
  • Operational Fundamentals: logging, auditability, configuration management, and a pilot readiness checklist for government deployment

Requirements

  • Proficiency with fundamental command line operations (directories, paths, environment variables)
  • Capability to install and execute development tools on your workstation (Git, Node.js)
  • Foundational knowledge of JavaScript or scripting languages (ability to read and make minor modifications)

Audience

  • Developers and automation engineers interested in creating AI-driven assistants and internal tools for government
  • IT and operations professionals seeking to automate repetitive support and administrative tasks
  • Technical product owners and team leads assessing self-hosted AI agent solutions
