Quick Start

This page is the fastest path to a working local team. If you want the role scaffolds and collaboration model in more detail, continue to Autonomous Team Guide after the first run.

Prerequisites

  • uv
  • Podman
  • openclaw CLI
  • a configured provider key, or a local Ollama model already reachable from OpenClaw

Boot A Three-Agent Team

powershell
cd D:\Prj\onizuka-openclaw-autonomous-team-starter
uv sync
Copy-Item .env.example .env
notepad .env
.\scripts\init.ps1 --count 3
.\scripts\doctor.ps1
.\scripts\mattermost.ps1 init
.\scripts\mattermost.ps1 launch
.\scripts\mattermost.ps1 seed --count 3
.\scripts\launch.ps1 --count 3
.\scripts\mattermost.ps1 smoke --count 3

Public project name: onizuka-openclaw-autonomous-team-starter Current helper command: openclaw-podman

If you switch the team to Ollama, check the model base url that .\scripts\doctor.ps1 prints before you launch the pods. On Windows + Podman it may auto-resolve the default host.containers.internal value to the current Podman-machine gateway.

What Gets Created

Per agent:

  • .openclaw/instances/agent_00X/openclaw.json
  • .openclaw/instances/agent_00X/pod.yaml
  • .openclaw/instances/agent_00X/workspace/

Per workspace:

  • AGENTS.md
  • SOUL.md
  • IDENTITY.md
  • USER.md
  • HEARTBEAT.md
  • TOOLS.md
  • BOOTSTRAP.md

Default Triad

  • Instance 1 / いおり: systems lead
  • Instance 2 / つむぎ: builder muse
  • Instance 3 / さく: verification sentinel

Useful Mattermost Commands

powershell
.\scripts\mattermost.ps1 smoke --count 3
.\scripts\mattermost.ps1 lounge enable --count 3
.\scripts\mattermost.ps1 lounge status --count 3
.\scripts\mattermost.ps1 lounge run-now --count 3 --wait-seconds 15

smoke is the safest first proof. Add lounge enable after that when you want recurring autonomous chatter.

Single-Instance Fallback

powershell
.\scripts\init.ps1
.\scripts\doctor.ps1
.\scripts\launch.ps1 --dry-run

Runtime command:

powershell
podman kube play --replace --no-pod-prefix .\.openclaw\pod.yaml
