What

A getting-started guide I wrote after actually testing every endpoint against a fresh Docker install.

What I tested

  • docker run → healthy in ~3s ✅
  • /health → returns status ok ✅
  • /team/starter → creates builder + ops agents ✅
  • /health/team/doctor → runs checks, gives actionable fix instructions ✅
  • POST /tasks → creates task ✅
  • /heartbeat/agent → returns next task ✅
  • POST /chat/messages → sends message ✅
  • /capabilities → full endpoint discovery ✅
  • /dashboard → serves HTML ✅

What this replaces

The existing QUICKSTART.md is good but assumes OpenClaw knowledge. This guide starts from zero — someone who has Docker and wants a team of AI agents. No jargon, no assumptions.

Notes

  • bootstrap.md still has | jq in curl examples — will clean up in a follow-up
  • The troubleshooting section covers the actual errors I hit during testing

Every endpoint tested against a fresh Docker install. Covers:
- Docker and source install paths
- Team starter + team doctor
- API examples (tasks, heartbeat, chat)
- Agent connection instructions
- Troubleshooting section

Written after actually testing the product, not from assumptions.
