description	Install FounderClaw — a complete multi-agent system for OpenClaw. Adds 6 agents, 29 skills, creates communication channels, configures models. Interactive setup. Requires user input for model selection and channel setup. Triggered by: "install founderclaw", "setup founderclaw", "get founderclaw".

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:

# 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

# 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

# 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

# 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.
