Frequently asked questions

Check in this order:

1. config: token variable exists and key name is correct
2. runtime: process loaded latest env config and restart applied
3. gateway: auth headers are forwarded and not stripped by middleware
4. scope: token is valid, not revoked, and scope matches endpoint

Next step: WebChat and gateway auth troubleshooting.

If your main goal is fast execution, guided cloud deployment is usually the better first step.

If your main goal is full environment control, local models, or deeper systems understanding, local setup may be the better first move.

Quick cloud options:

• DigitalOcean deploy
• Hostinger VPS setup
• Tencent Cloud Feishu path
• Alibaba Cloud DingTalk path

Choose the path closest to your real usage, not the one that looks most advanced.

Next step: compare combinations in Deployment + channel combinations.

Do at least three checks first:

• verify the source
• understand what the skill can access
• inspect the critical code path for risky behavior

Add one high-priority rule from SlowMist:

• scan .md/.json files too, not executable scripts only, to catch hidden install and injection instructions

Open these first:

• ClawHub docs
• ClawHub directory source
• Snyk ToxicSkills study
• SlowMist Security Practice Guide
• SlowMist Validation Guide

Do not start by installing many skills at once.
Install one or two high-value skills, observe behavior, then expand carefully.

Next step: follow Skills safety tutorial.

Click these in order:

1. Getting Started or Apifox installation guide
2. if you are outside China, use DigitalOcean deploy guide plus Telegram guide or WhatsApp guide
3. if you are in a China-based team workflow, use Tencent Cloud Feishu guide or Alibaba Cloud DingTalk guide
4. complete one full pass before opening more links

Next step: Learn Hub.

The most useful first definition is this:

OpenClaw is an agent system that can connect to channels, use skills, and run repeatable workflows.

If you want the practical version, open these in order:

• Docs
• GitHub
• Resource map

Next step: What should I click first?.

Loongxia is best for two groups:

• people meeting OpenClaw for the first time and needing setup, channel, skills, and security links in one place
• people who already tried OpenClaw but still do not have a repeatable workflow

If you mainly need "what should I click first?", this site is for you.
If you already live in official docs and GitHub issues, primary sources may be faster.

Quick entry points:

• OpenClaw page
• Learn Hub
• Resources

Next step: if you are new, start with What should I click first?.
