Description
Provides OpenClaw agents with workflows, memory structure, and automation for autonomous AI business operations and daily reviews.
Usage Guidance
This package appears to do what it says: create a workspace, templates, and schedule OpenClaw cron jobs. Before installing, do the following: 1) Inspect scripts/setup-foundation.sh and the template files (already included) to confirm the exact cron commands and files written — the setup script is the only code executed. 2) Verify what the openclaw cron add command will do in your environment (which agent identity, permissions, and runtime it will use). 3) If you have Git, SSH keys, cloud/API tokens, or service credentials on the machine, decide whether the agent should be allowed to use them — the templates explicitly permit autonomous commits/pushes and handling of outbound actions; remove or tighten those rules if unwanted. 4) Remove or edit any lines in AGENTS.md that say "Don't ask permission" or that allow pushing public changes until you have a trusted approval workflow. 5) Test the skill in a sandboxed account or VM with no API keys or production credentials to observe behavior. 6) If you rely on the GitHub links or the author, verify the upstream repo and publisher reputation before trusting updates. If you want, I can produce a short checklist of the exact changes to make in AGENTS.md and the setup script to limit autonomy (e.g., require manual approval for pushes and outgoing posts).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-business-starter
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a comprehensive organizational framework (PARA memory system) and automated workflows for an AI agent. The setup script (setup-foundation.sh) and templates (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md) are transparent, creating local directory structures and cron jobs for daily reviews. Notably, the AGENTS.md file includes explicit defensive instructions against prompt injection, warning the agent to ignore unauthenticated commands from sources like email or social media, which aligns with security best practices for autonomous agents.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the actual behavior: the skill creates a local workspace (~/.openclaw/workspace), templates, and OpenClaw cron jobs and provides agent operating instructions. It does not request unrelated credentials or install arbitrary binaries.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and templates instruct the agent to create files, schedule cron jobs via the openclaw CLI, and run daily/heartbeat tasks. This stays within the stated purpose, but AGENTS.md contains strong autonomy directives (e.g., "Don't ask permission. Just do it.", "commit and push your own changes") which expand the agent's allowed actions beyond passive organization and monitoring. Those behavioral rules are part of templates rather than enforced technical controls.
Install Mechanism
No remote downloads or install hooks are present in the package. The only executable is an included bash setup script that creates local files and invokes the local openclaw CLI; no external archives or obscure URLs are fetched.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables, keys, or privileged config paths. It does require write access to the user's OpenClaw workspace and depends on the openclaw CLI and cron scheduler. Be aware that if your environment already has Git, SSH, or API credentials configured, the agent templates instruct actions (e.g., push, posting to social media, checking Stripe) that could use those credentials — the skill itself does not request them, but it assumes the user will provide them for integrations.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and normal autonomous invocation are used. The skill creates persistent files and registers scheduled cron jobs via the openclaw CLI. The combination of scheduled autonomous tasks and the templates' permissive decision authority increases blast radius if the agent is allowed to act on existing credentials or access (e.g., git pushes, posting) — this is an expected property of an "autonomous business" skill, not a technical misconfiguration in the package.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-business-starter - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-business-starter - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
