Plan your first OpenClaw workspace.

Start with one workflow you can describe clearly. Write down the input, the expected output, and the point where a person should review the result.

Choose the smallest useful setup

List the model connection and channels needed for that workflow. Leave unrelated integrations disconnected until there is a reason to add them.

Define ownership

Identify who owns the instance, who manages provider credentials, and who can approve configuration changes.

Test before expanding

Use a limited example task and review the outcome. Add capabilities after the initial configuration behaves as expected.
