paperclip/doc/OPENCLAW_ONBOARDING.md

Use this exact checklist.

1. Start Paperclip in auth mode.

cd <paperclip-repo-root>
pnpm dev --tailscale-auth

Then verify:

curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:3100/api/health | jq

2. Start a clean/stock OpenClaw Docker.

OPENCLAW_RESET_STATE=1 OPENCLAW_BUILD=1 ./scripts/smoke/openclaw-docker-ui.sh

Open the printed Dashboard URL (includes #token=...) in your browser.

3. In Paperclip UI, go to http://127.0.0.1:3100/CLA/company/settings.

4. Use the agent snippet flow.

• Copy the snippet from company settings.
• Paste it into OpenClaw main chat as one message.
• If it stalls, send one follow-up: How is onboarding going? Continue setup now.

5. Approve the join request in Paperclip UI, then confirm the OpenClaw agent appears in CLA agents.

6. Gateway preflight (required before task tests).

• Confirm the created agent uses openclaw_gateway (not openclaw).
• Confirm gateway URL is ws://... or wss://....
• Confirm gateway token is non-trivial (not empty / not 1-char placeholder).
• If you can run API checks with board auth:

AGENT_ID="<newly-created-agent-id>"
curl -sS -H "Cookie: $PAPERCLIP_COOKIE" "http://127.0.0.1:3100/api/agents/$AGENT_ID" | jq '{adapterType,adapterConfig:{url:.adapterConfig.url,tokenLen:(.adapterConfig.headers["x-openclaw-token"] // .adapterConfig.headers["x-openclaw-auth"] // "" | length)}}'

• Expected: adapterType=openclaw_gateway and tokenLen >= 16.

7. Case A (manual issue test).

• Create an issue assigned to the OpenClaw agent.
• Put instructions: “post comment OPENCLAW_CASE_A_OK_<timestamp> and mark done.”
• Verify in UI: issue status becomes done and comment exists.

8. Case B (message tool test).

• Create another issue assigned to OpenClaw.
• Instructions: “send OPENCLAW_CASE_B_OK_<timestamp> to main webchat via message tool, then comment same marker on issue, then mark done.”
• Verify both:
  • marker comment on issue
  • marker text appears in OpenClaw main chat

9. Case C (new session memory/skills test).

• In OpenClaw, start /new session.
• Ask it to create a new CLA issue in Paperclip with unique title OPENCLAW_CASE_C_CREATED_<timestamp>.
• Verify in Paperclip UI that new issue exists.

10. Watch logs during test (optional but helpful):

docker compose -f /tmp/openclaw-docker/docker-compose.yml -f /tmp/openclaw-docker/.paperclip-openclaw.override.yml logs -f openclaw-gateway

11. Expected pass criteria.

• Preflight: openclaw_gateway + non-placeholder token (tokenLen >= 16).
• Case A: done + marker comment.
• Case B: done + marker comment + main-chat message visible.
• Case C: original task done and new issue created from /new session.

If you want, I can also give you a single “observer mode” command that runs the stock smoke harness while you watch the same steps live in UI.
