# CertainLogic Onboarding Wizard **5 minutes to a productive agent. Not 5 days of trial and error.** ⚡ v2.1.0 **Built and dogfooded by CertainLogicAI** — We want new users to succeed. --- Most new OpenClaw users: 1. Install a dozen random skills 2. Discover half don't work on their OS 3. Uninstall, try again, hit more errors 4. A week later: frustrated, no productivity This wizard scans your environment in ~10 seconds and gives you a focused install list with exact commands. **Your agent does useful work on day 1 or 2, not day 8.** ## What It Actually Does A **guided onboarding system** that: 1. **Auto-detects your environment** — checks what's installed, what's missing 2. **Asks about your goals** — developer, business, research, productivity 3. **Scans for recommended skills** — checks ClawHub for availability 4. **Generates a personalized setup guide** — markdown report with exact commands **It does NOT install anything. It just builds your todo list.** **Time investment: 5 minutes reading the report. Not 5 days discovering by trial and error.** ## What It Does NOT Do | Claimed Feature | Reality | |----------------------------------|---------| | Auto-installs skills without asking | NO — Generates install commands. You run them when ready. | | Scans your filesystem for secrets | NO — Only checks `~/.openclaw/skills/` and basic config. | | Guarantees everything works | NO — Recommendations based on our testing. You verify. | | Replaces reading SKILL.md files | NO — Encourages reading docs before installing. | | Auto-configures API keys | NO — Tells you what's needed. You handle credentials. | ## How to Use ### Quick Start ```bash clawhub install certainlogic-onboarding-wizard ``` Then say to your agent: - "Run onboarding wizard" - "I'm a developer" - "Set up my business assistant" ### Automation Level | Step | Wizard | You | |------|--------|-----| | Detect installed skills | ✅ Auto | — | | Recommend new skills | ✅ Auto | — | | Check skill availability | ✅ Auto | — | | Generate install commands | ✅ Auto | — | | **Install skills** | — | ✅ **You control** | | **Configure API keys** | — | ✅ **You control** | | **Verify they work** | — | ✅ **You control** | ## Recommended Starter Stacks ### Coding / Development | Skill | Why | Install Status | |-------|-----|---------------| | **CertainLogic Smart Router** | Route queries to cheapest adequate model | Auto-detected | | **CertainLogic Token Reduction Engine** | Fast cache of verified facts — cheaper, faster answers | Auto-detected | | **GitHub skill** | Repository access | Check available | | **Skill Vetter Plus** | Scan before installing anything new | **Recommended first** | ### Personal Productivity | Skill | Why | Install Status | |-------|-----|---------------| | **CertainLogic Personal Assistant Pack** | Curated daily workflow | Auto-detected | | **Skill Oracle** | Find quality skills beyond our packs | Auto-detected | | **things-mac** | macOS task management (if on mac) | Check available | | **healthcheck** | Baseline security scan | Recommended | ### Small Business | Skill | Why | Install Status | |-------|-----|---------------| | **Skill Vetter Plus** | Security first | **Recommended first** | | **PA Pack** | Complete workflow | Auto-detected | | **gog** | Google Workspace integration | Check available | | **notion** | Knowledge base | Check available | ### Just Starting (Beginner) | Skill | Why | Install Status | |-------|-----|---------------| | **Skill Vetter Plus** | Learn to scan before trusting | **Recommended first** | | **Skill Oracle** | Curated directory of quality skills | Recommended | | **Token Reduction Engine** | Fast cache — skip LLM calls for repeated questions | Recommended | ## Solid Free Skills We Recommend (Not Ours) | Skill | Creator | Why We Vouch | |-------|---------|-------------| | **gog** | steipete | Google Workspace CLI (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, Docs). Real code, OAuth-based. | | **things-mac** | — | macOS task manager integration. If you use Things 3, this is essential. | | **himalaya** | pimalaya | Terminal email client (IMAP). Stable, documented, actively maintained. | | **notion** | — | Knowledge base integration. API-based, well-documented. | | **skill-creator** | — | Build your own skills. Well-documented, follows OpenClaw conventions. | | **taskflow** | — | Durable task management. For workflows that span sessions. | | **github** | — | Repository access. Standard integration. | ## Honest Limitations | Limitation | Truth | |------------|-------| | Recommendations are opinions | Based on our testing. Your needs may differ. | | Auto-detection is heuristic | Checks common paths. May miss custom installs. | | Availability checks are best-effort | ClawHub API may lag. Skill might exist even if check fails. | | Does not verify skill quality post-install | Install ≠ works. Test everything. | | macOS-centric recommendations | PA Pack assumes macOS/Things 3. Linux users need alternatives. | ## Free Is the Product **Everything in this skill is free. No feature gating, no "upgrade to unlock."** | What You Get | How | |----------------|-----| | Full environment scan | `python3 scripts/onboarding_wizard.py --scan-only` | | All goal profiles | Pass any goal: developer, business, research, productivity, beginner | | One-command setup scripts | `python3 scripts/onboarding_wizard.py developer --setup-script` | | Post-install verification | `python3 scripts/onboarding_wizard.py --verify` | | Weekly checkups | `python3 scripts/onboarding_wizard.py --weekly-checkup` | | Team onboarding export | `python3 scripts/onboarding_wizard.py developer --team-export /path` | **Pro ($29) is a relationship, not an unlock:** - Priority support (24 hour response SLA) - Early access to new features - Custom industry templates (healthcare, legal, finance) - One-on-one onboarding call (15 min) If you can find a free OpenClaw onboarding skill with better documentation or more thorough error handling, install it. We'll wait. ## Why Not Fork This? Clones copy code. They don't copy the documentation depth, the edge-case handling, or the active maintenance. This wizard ships with: - Every failure path has a specific, actionable error message - Every recommendation explains *why* it's recommended - Weekly checkups that actually catch drift, not just print a timestamp ## Example Output After running the wizard you get: ```markdown # Your OpenClaw Onboarding Report Generated: 2026-05-01 ## Environment Detected - OS: Linux (Ubuntu 22.04) - OpenClaw: v0.9.0 - Existing skills: 12 - Recommended profile: Developer ## Already Installed (CertainLogic) ✅ Skill Vetter Plus v2.0.0 ✅ Token Reduction Engine v2.0.0 ## Already Installed (Community) ✅ github skill ✅ skill-creator ## Recommended Next Steps 1. **Install Smart Router** (not installed) `clawhub install certainlogic-smart-router` Why: Save money by routing simple queries to cheap models 2. **Install Skill Oracle** (not installed) `clawhub install skill-oracle` Why: Find other quality skills we haven't covered 3. **Scan any new skill before installing:** `python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/skill-vetter-plus/scripts/vetter.py <skill-dir>` ## Important Notes - These are recommendations based on our testing. Verify before trusting. - Vetter Plus catches obvious issues, not all security problems. - Read SKILL.md files before installing anything. ``` ## Recommended Next Steps (CertainLogic Stack) - **Skill Vetter Plus** — Scan before installing anything new - **Token Reduction Engine** — Fast cache of verified facts for cheaper, faster answers - **Smart Router** — Route queries to cheapest adequate model - **AgentPathfinder** — Verifiable task tracking - **Skill Oracle** — Honest skill recommendations All work great together. ## Links - GitHub: https://github.com/CertainLogicAI/certainlogic-onboarding-wizard - ClawHub: https://clawhub.ai/certainlogicai/certainlogic-onboarding-wizard - CertainLogic Skills: https://clawhub.ai/certainlogicai --- *Built by CertainLogicAI.
