Build a real OpenClaw assistant in 1 day. Not a demo.
A practical PDF + templates to help you ship a local-first OpenClaw assistant that’s actually useful: safe tool use, repeatable workflows, and “receipts only” execution.
- Copy/paste setup + folder skeleton
- Morning Brief + reminders (cron vs heartbeat)
- Security checklist (prompt injection, secrets, skills)
- Trust contract: artifacts, sources, confirmations

Everything you need to go from “I installed it” to “this assistant reliably ships outputs.”
Known-good setup

Trust contract
“Receipts only” workflow: artifacts, sources, confirmations for high-impact actions.
Rent-paying workflow
Build a Morning Brief + reminders so the agent earns its keep.
