CertainLogic Onboarding Wizard
5 minutes to a productive agent. Not 5 days of trial and error. ⚡
v2.1.0
Built and dogfooded by CertainLogicAI — We want new users to succeed.
Most new OpenClaw users:
- Install a dozen random skills
- Discover half don't work on their OS
- Uninstall, try again, hit more errors
- A week later: frustrated, no productivity
This wizard scans your environment in ~10 seconds and gives you a focused install list with exact commands. Your agent does useful work on day 1 or 2, not day 8.
What It Actually Does
A guided onboarding system that:
- Auto-detects your environment — checks what's installed, what's missing
- Asks about your goals — developer, business, research, productivity
- Scans for recommended skills — checks ClawHub for availability
- Generates a personalized setup guide — markdown report with exact commands
It does NOT install anything. It just builds your todo list.
Time investment: 5 minutes reading the report. Not 5 days discovering by trial and error.
What It Does NOT Do
| Claimed Feature | Reality |
|---|---|
| Auto-installs skills without asking | NO — Generates install commands. You run them when ready. |
| Scans your filesystem for secrets | NO — Only checks ~/.openclaw/skills/ and basic config. |
| Guarantees everything works | NO — Recommendations based on our testing. You verify. |
| Replaces reading SKILL.md files | NO — Encourages reading docs before installing. |
| Auto-configures API keys | NO — Tells you what's needed. You handle credentials. |

Honest Limitations
| Limitation | Truth |
|---|---|
| Recommendations are opinions | Based on our testing. Your needs may differ. |
| Auto-detection is heuristic | Checks common paths. May miss custom installs. |
| Availability checks are best-effort | ClawHub API may lag. Skill might exist even if check fails. |
| Does not verify skill quality post-install | Install ≠ works. Test everything. |
| macOS-centric recommendations | PA Pack assumes macOS/Things 3. Linux users need alternatives. |
Free Is the Product
Everything in this skill is free. No feature gating, no "upgrade to unlock."
| What You Get | How |
|---|---|
| Full environment scan | python3 scripts/onboarding_wizard.py --scan-only |
| All goal profiles | Pass any goal: developer, business, research, productivity, beginner |
| One-command setup scripts | python3 scripts/onboarding_wizard.py developer --setup-script |
| Post-install verification | python3 scripts/onboarding_wizard.py --verify |
| Weekly checkups | python3 scripts/onboarding_wizard.py --weekly-checkup |
| Team onboarding export | python3 scripts/onboarding_wizard.py developer --team-export /path |
Pro ($29) is a relationship, not an unlock:
- Priority support (24 hour response SLA)
- Early access to new features
- Custom industry templates (healthcare, legal, finance)
- One-on-one onboarding call (15 min)
If you can find a free OpenClaw onboarding skill with better documentation or more thorough error handling, install it. We'll wait.
Why Not Fork This?
Clones copy code. They don't copy the documentation depth, the edge-case handling, or the active maintenance. This wizard ships with:
- Every failure path has a specific, actionable error message
- Every recommendation explains why it's recommended
- Weekly checkups that actually catch drift, not just print a timestamp

After running the wizard you get:
