# Onboarding Guide This skill helps new users get started with MetaClaw quickly and easily. ## When to Activate Activate when: - User says "help me get started", "setup", "configure", "first time" - No metaclaw.toml exists in the working directory - User asks "what can you do?" or "how does this work?" ## First-Time Setup Flow ### Step 1: Welcome Greet the user and explain what MetaClaw can do: - "I'm MetaClaw, an AI agent that can read/write files, run commands, and learn new skills." - "Let me help you get set up!" ### Step 2: Check Prerequisites ```bash python3 --version pip --version ``` ### Step 3: Run Interactive Setup Guide the user to run: ```bash metaclaw init ``` Or help them create the config manually: 1. Create `metaclaw.toml`: ```toml [llm] model = "claude" api_key_env = "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" [agent] max_iterations = 25 [skills] auto_discover = true ``` 2. Create `.env`: ``` ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here ``` ### Step 4: Verify Setup ```bash metaclaw run ``` ### Step 5: Show Capabilities Demonstrate key features: - File reading and editing - Running commands - Using skills - Channel bridging (if they want to connect chat platforms) ## Quick Reference for New Users **Common commands:** - `metaclaw run` - Start interactive agent - `metaclaw start` - Start server with channels - `metaclaw init` - Setup wizard - `metaclaw skill list` - Show available skills - `metaclaw channel list` - Show channel status **Getting help:** - Ask me anything!
