What This Skill Does

FounderClaw is an advanced, multi-agent orchestrator designed to transform the OpenClaw environment into a full-stack engineering startup engine. It bridges the gap between individual AI interactions and complex project execution by deploying a specialized team of six distinct agents: the CEO (orchestration), Strategy (product architecture), Shipper (code delivery), Tester (QA), Safety (compliance), and Observer (debugging). With 29 integrated skills, FounderClaw manages the end-to-end lifecycle of software development—from initial planning and design reviews to deployment, browser-based quality assurance, and security auditing. It effectively acts as an autonomous virtual CTO and dev team, allowing users to build and scale startup concepts within the OpenClaw ecosystem.

Installation

Installation is a two-step process to ensure all agents are correctly registered. First, execute the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ashish797/founderclaw. Once the source files are downloaded, you MUST navigate to the package directory and run bash install.sh. This script performs the critical tasks of symlinking the 29 individual skills to your global OpenClaw agents directory, configuring the workspace at ~/.openclaw/founderclaw/, and initializing the headless browser infrastructure required for QA and testing agents. Failure to run the installer will result in the agents being unavailable for orchestration.

Use Cases

FounderClaw is ideal for:

1. Rapid Prototyping: Quickly spinning up a new web product or feature set with multi-perspective reviews.
2. Autonomous Testing: Using the Shipper and Tester agents to deploy code and verify browser-level interactions automatically.
3. Complex Feature Implementation: Leveraging the Strategy agent to map out technical debt and the Shipper to execute clean, reviewed code changes.
4. Security-Critical Development: Utilizing the Safety agent to enforce guardrails before any code reaches a production environment.

Example Prompts

1. "FounderClaw, orchestrate a strategy meeting to design a basic task management MVP and prepare the initial project structure."
2. "CEO, initiate an autoplan session for our current project and have the Shipper agent suggest a release candidate for the login module."
3. "Tester, browse our staging environment and perform a full QA run on the checkout flow, then report any UI inconsistencies back to the Observer."

Tips & Limitations

• Monitor the Observer logs frequently to catch agent conflicts during complex multi-agent workflows.
• Always run founderclaw-status after updates to ensure all 29 skills are correctly symlinked.
• The Safety agent is sensitive; ensure your environmental variables are properly defined to prevent unnecessary task freezing.
• As this involves code execution and file manipulation, use it in a sandboxed directory to maintain system hygiene.
