# Install & Configure: Awesome OpenClaw: The Ultimate Resource Hub
## What This Is
The 'Awesome OpenClaw' list is a centralized directory of resources for the OpenClaw AI agent framework. It provides developers and teams with quick access to installation guides, hundreds of community-built skills, and project showcases to accelerate development.

## Before You Start
Scan my workspace and analyze:
- The project language, framework, and directory structure
- Existing agent configuration (check for .claude/, .codex/, CLAUDE.md, settings.json, commands/, skills/ directories)
- Whether this repository or a similar tool is already cloned or installed
Then ask me before proceeding:
1. Do I need to configure any service credentials for this plugin (database, API keys, etc.)?
2. Should this be project-scoped or global?
## Fetch the Source
Clone or inspect the repository to understand what needs to be installed:
```bash
gh repo clone rylena/awesome-openclaw
```
Review the README, directory structure, and any install instructions before proceeding.
## What to Implement
This is an **Agent Plugin** — typically an MCP server or capability bundle.
- Install any required npm/pip packages from the source repository
- Register the MCP server in `.claude/settings.json` under the `mcpServers` key with the correct command and args
- Configure any required environment variables or credentials
- Verify the server starts correctly by checking its expected output
## Additional Context
- Clone the repository `https://github.com/rylena/awesome-openclaw.git` into a `reference/` directory within the user's current project for local access.
- Parse the `README.md` file, identifying and indexing all resources listed, especially the links under 'All Skills Catalog' and the 'ClawHub' official skill registry.
- Create a new interactive command for the user, such as `/search-openclaw-resources <query>`, that allows searching the indexed content to find relevant skills, tutorials, or integrations from the list, and provides the direct links.
## Reference Implementation
```
# Install via npm
npm install -g openclaw@latest
# Or via pnpm
pnpm add -g openclaw@latest
# Run onboarding wizard
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
```
## Guidelines
- Adapt everything to my existing project — do not assume a specific stack or directory layout
- Review any fetched code for safety before installing or executing it
- After setup, run a quick verification and show me a summary of exactly what was installed, where, and how to use it
