## What This Is

## 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 SamurAIGPT/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

- Execute the command `npm install -g openclaw@latest` to install the OpenClaw agent globally on the user's system.
- Run `openclaw onboard` to initiate the interactive setup process, which will guide the user through connecting a messaging service and configuring an AI model provider using keys from their environment variables.
- Clone the `SamurAIGPT/awesome-openclaw` repository and parse the markdown to present a summary of community skills, integrations, and tutorials relevant to the user's stated project goals.

## Reference Implementation

```
npm install -g openclaw@latest && openclaw onboard
```

## 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

FIELD OPERATIONS

Personal WhatsApp Productivity Assistant

Build a personal AI assistant on WhatsApp that manages your Google Calendar, summarizes unread Gmail emails, and controls your Spotify music playback by searching for and installing the relevant skills from the OpenClaw ecosystem.

Discord Code Review Bot

Create a code review bot for a team's Discord server. Use OpenClaw with the GitHub integration to listen for new pull requests, have a local LLM (like DeepSeek Coder via Ollama) review the code for common issues, and post a summary in a dedicated channel.

STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS

→Deploy a self-hosted customer support agent on Telegram that answers frequently asked questions, checks order statuses by integrating with a Shopify API, and can escalate complex queries to a human agent in a shared Slack channel.
→Automate internal IT helpdesk tasks by creating an OpenClaw agent in Microsoft Teams. The agent can handle password reset requests, provide links to internal documentation, and create Jira tickets for bug reports, keeping all company data on-premise.
