Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
What This Skill Does
Deploys a new OpenClaw agent through a short conversation. Reads the current agent's config silently and carries over the API key, model, plugins, and skills automatically. The user answers 2-3 questions and never edits a file.
Automates config carryover so you don't have to manually track and copy API keys, plugin specs, and skill files across agents.
When to use it
- Spinning up a second agent for an isolated project
- Cloning your current agent setup to a remote server
- Provisioning a fresh agent for a teammate with your existing config
- Creating a dedicated agent for a specific workflow
- Deploying a test agent without touching production config
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Spin up a new agent called 'research-bot' on Docker locally
- 1Read current agent config, env vars, installed plugins, and workspace skills
- 2Ask where to deploy, confirm the agent name, and prompt for any special purpose
- 3Present full deploy plan showing every carried-over item before touching anything
- 4Run Docker onboard with detected provider flags, then bring up the gateway container
- 5Copy plugins and skills to the new agent, restart the gateway, and read the generated token
Running agent at http://localhost:18789/ with gateway token, ready to receive its first message
