# Install & Configure: OpenClaw Agents: One-Command Multi-Agent Deployment
## What This Is
This tool allows you to instantly deploy a team of nine specialized AI assistants that can work together on complex tasks. It includes pre-built workflows for brainstorming, research, and content creation, accessible through common chat apps like Discord or Telegram. This turns a single AI tool into a collaborative workforce for your business.

## 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 shenhao-stu/openclaw-agents
```
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
- Verify OpenClaw prerequisites by running `if command -v openclaw &> /dev/null; then echo 'OpenClaw CLI found.'; else echo 'OpenClaw CLI not found. Installing...'; npm install -g openclaw@latest && openclaw onboard --install-daemon; fi`.
- Clone the OpenClaw Agents repository using `git clone https://github.com/shenhao-stu/openclaw-agents.git` and navigate into the newly created `openclaw-agents` directory.
- Execute the setup script by running `chmod +x setup.sh`, then run `./setup.sh`. Prompt the user to choose between 'Channel Mode' (for chat app integration) and 'Local Workflow Mode' to configure the agents correctly.
## Reference Implementation
```
git clone https://github.com/shenhao-stu/openclaw-agents.git
cd openclaw-agents
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh
```
## 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
