# Install FounderClaw
This is an INTERACTIVE system install. Guide the user through setup. One step at a time. Don't rush.
## Rules
- Explain each step before doing it
- Ask before modifying config
- Batch your messages — don't send 20 rapid-fire updates
- If something fails, say so clearly
## Step 1: Install files
Tell the user:
> Setting up FounderClaw. This takes about 30 seconds.
Run:
```bash
# Clone if not exists, update if exists
if [ -d ~/.agents/skills/founderclaw ]; then
cd ~/.agents/skills/founderclaw && git stash 2>/dev/null && git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/main
else
git clone --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/ashish797/FounderClaw.git ~/.agents/skills/founderclaw
fi
# Symlink skills
cd ~/.agents/skills/founderclaw
INSTALLED=0
for skill_dir in */; do
[ ! -f "$skill_dir/SKILL.md" ] && continue
skill_name=$(basename "$skill_dir")
target=~/.agents/skills/"$skill_name"
[ -e "$target" ] && continue
ln -sf "$(pwd)/$skill_dir" "$target"
INSTALLED=$((INSTALLED + 1))
done
# Create workspace
if [ ! -d ~/.openclaw/founderclaw ]; then
cp -r workspace-template ~/.openclaw/founderclaw
fi
echo "FILES_DONE:$INSTALLED"
```
Report: "✅ X skills installed. ✅ Workspace ready."
## Step 2: Ask for model selection
Tell the user:
> FounderClaw uses 3 model tiers:
> - **Fast** — quick tasks (code review, safety checks)
> - **Best** — deep thinking (strategy, architecture)
> - **Vision** — image analysis
>
> Which models do you want? Pick one for each, or say "use defaults" to use your current primary model for all.
List available models from `agents.defaults.models` in config.
Wait for user's choices. Record them.
## Step 3: Ask for interaction setup
Tell the user:
> How do you want to interact with FounderClaw?
>
> **Option A: One chat** — Talk to the CEO. CEO handles everything internally. Simplest.
>
> **Option B: Multiple topics** — Separate topic for each department (CEO, Strategy, Shipper, Tester, Safety, Observer). More visibility.
>
> **Option C: Both** — CEO is main entry point, plus specialist topics available.
Wait for user's choice.
## Step 4: Create channels (platform-specific)
Based on what platform the user is on (check current session — it shows the channel):
### Telegram
If user chose "one chat" or "both":
- Create topic "🎯 FounderClaw CEO" in the group they're talking from
- Bind `founderclaw-main` to that topic
If user chose "multiple topics" or "both":
- Create topics for each department
- Bind each agent to its topic
```bash
# Topic IDs will be returned by the message tool
# Record them for config binding
```
### WhatsApp
WhatsApp can't create groups or topics via API.
- Bind `founderclaw-main` to the current WhatsApp account
- CEO handles everything in one chat
- Departments work internally, invisible to user
### Discord
If user has a Discord server:
- Create channels for each department
- Bind agents to channels
### Slack
Similar to Discord — create channels, bind agents.
## Step 5: Apply config
Build the config patch with:
- 6 agents (with correct models from Step 2)
- Bindings (from Step 4)
Apply via `gateway config.patch`.
## Step 6: Verify
```bash
# Check agents exist
python3 -c "
import json, re, os
with open(os.path.expanduser('~/.openclaw/openclaw.json'), 'r') as f:
c = re.sub(r',\s*([}\]])', r'\1', re.sub(r'//.*$', '', f.read(), flags=2))
config = json.loads(c)
ids = [a['id'] for a in config.get('agents',{}).get('list',[])]
fc = ['founderclaw-main','fc-strategy','fc-shipper','fc-tester','fc-safety','fc-observer']
found = sum(1 for a in fc if a in ids)
print(f'Agents: {found}/6')
"
# Check workspace
[ -d ~/.openclaw/founderclaw/ceo ] && echo "Workspace: OK" || echo "Workspace: MISSING"
```
## Step 7: Report
Tell the user:
> **FounderClaw is live!**
>
> ✅ 29 skills installed
> ✅ 6 agents configured
> ✅ Workspace created
> ✅ Channels set up
>
> **Go to [topic/group/channel name] to start.**
>
> Quick start:
> - "I have an idea" — start office-hours
> - "review my code" — code review
> - "test this site" — QA testing
>
> Gateway will restart now.
## Uninstall
```bash
# Remove skills
for link in ~/.agents/skills/*; do
[ -L "$link" ] || continue
target=$(readlink "$link")
echo "$target" | grep -q "founderclaw" && rm "$link"
done
rm -rf ~/.agents/skills/founderclaw
```
Then remove agents from config via `gateway config.patch`.Related Skills
