5 tips for OpenClaw

The video presents five actionable tips for optimizing the use of OpenClaw, an AI agent platform. The first tip involves retrieving OpenClaw's compressed documentation from Context 7 and adding it to the setup, so the agent can use it as a troubleshooting reference when issues arise. The second tip recommends creating three specific markdown files — agents.md, soul.md, and user.md — to define the agent's behavior, personality, and user-specific context respectively, all of which load into every session to improve output quality. The third tip focuses on organizing Telegram into separate groups, each with its own system prompt, ensuring the agent always has the correct context for conversations happening in different channels. The fourth tip highlights OpenClaw's built-in skills, such as summarizing links, transcribing audio, and connecting to Notion, which can be activated by running the command 'openclaw skills list'. The fifth and final tip advises treating the AI agent like a new employee by practicing the principle of least privilege — granting it access only to what it needs through separate dedicated accounts, rather than giving it full access to all systems.
