TeamClaw Setup

Install, configure, validate, or troubleshoot the TeamClaw OpenClaw plugin for virtual software-team workflows. Use when users want TeamClaw setup help, controller or worker config snippets, localRoles first-run guidance, on-demand process/docker/kubernetes workers, or safe first-run validation steps.

Guide users to the smallest working TeamClaw installation first, then expand.

Default workflow

1. Prefer the guided installer first:

   bash

   npx -y @teamclaws/teamclaw install
   

2. Use manual plugin install only when the user wants direct control:

   bash

   openclaw plugins install @teamclaws/teamclaw
   

   If the user explicitly wants the ClawHub package path, use:

   bash

   openclaw plugins install clawhub:@teamclaws/teamclaw
   

3. Recommend controller + localRoles for the first successful run unless the user explicitly needs distributed or on-demand workers immediately.

4. Read references/install-modes.md before generating config. Pick the smallest matching topology and reuse the provided snippets.

5. Read references/validation-checklist.md before finishing. Always give the user:

   • one health-check command
   • one UI URL
   • one tiny smoke-test requirement
   • one or two likely failure checks for the chosen topology

Installation guidance

• Start with a single machine and localRoles.

• Keep TeamClaw taskTimeoutMs large for real model runs.

• Keep OpenClaw agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds at least as large as the TeamClaw task window in seconds.

• For docker or kubernetes, require a reachable workerProvisioningControllerUrl.

• For docker, mention the published runtime image:

What to produce

When helping a user, produce:

1. the exact install command
2. the minimal config snippet for the chosen topology
3. the startup command
4. the validation commands and first smoke-test task

Do not push users into distributed, Docker, or Kubernetes first unless they asked for it or already have the surrounding infrastructure ready.
