## Quick Start

"When a user asks about OpenClaw, first identify what they need:"

### 🎯 Decision Tree

- **"How do I set up X?"** → Check `providers/` or `start/`
  - Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc. → `providers/<name>`
  - First time? → `start/getting-started`, `start/setup`

- **"Why isn't X working?"** → Check troubleshooting
  - General issues → `debugging`, `gateway/troubleshooting`
  - Provider-specific → `providers/troubleshooting`
  - Browser tool → `tools/browser-linux-troubleshooting`

- **"How do I configure X?"** → Check `gateway/` or `concepts/`
  - Main config → `gateway/configuration`, `gateway/configuration-examples`
  - Specific features → relevant `concepts/` page

- **"What is X?"** → Check `concepts/`
  - Architecture, sessions, queues, models, etc.

- **"How do I automate X?"** → Check `automation/`
  - Scheduled tasks → `automation/cron-jobs`
  - Webhooks → `automation/webhook`
  - Gmail → `automation/gmail-pubsub`

- **"How do I install/deploy?"** → Check `install/` or `platforms/`
  - Docker → `install/docker`
  - Linux server → `platforms/linux`
  - macOS app → `platforms/macos`

- Cron jobs
- Skills configuration

## Workflow

1. **Identify the need** using the decision tree above
2. **Search** "if unsure: `./scripts/search.sh <keyword>`"
3. **Fetch the doc**: `./scripts/fetch-doc.sh <path>` or use browser
4. **Reference snippets** for config examples
5. **Cite the source URL** when answering

## Tips

- Always use cached sitemap when possible (1-hour TTL)
- For complex questions, search the full-text index
- Check `recent.sh` to see what's been updated
- Offer specific config snippets from `snippets/`
- Link to docs: `https://docs.clawd.bot/<path>`
