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.
