OpenClaw articles
This hub groups the OpenClaw articles that matter during real deployment work: install paths, model/provider setup, Telegram or other channel wiring, gateway access, repair workflows, and operational troubleshooting.
Use the topic hub when you need to move from a broad OpenClaw question into a specific implementation guide without bouncing between disconnected posts. The structure is intentionally editorial: a short answer, the core coverage map, and then the full article archive.

Useful Starting Points
Getting Started Guide
Start here if you need the cleanest baseline install and first verification path.
Channels Guide
Use this when the core install works and you are wiring Telegram or other channels.
Models Guide
Shortlist providers, select a sane default model, and verify auth before you scale up.
Troubleshooting Guide
Follow this when the gateway, auth, or channel state is already broken and needs a controlled diagnosis.
What This Hub Covers
- First-run installation and onboarding flows for local, VPS, and constrained environments.
- Provider and model selection work, including free-tier experiments and fallback-safe validation steps.
- Telegram and gateway access guides that focus on secure operation instead of quick-but-risky shortcuts.
- Repair and revalidation sequences for gateway, model, and channel incidents.
- Decision points for when to self-serve with the docs versus moving the problem into direct support.

Topic Hub FAQ
These answers explain how the OpenClaw topic hub is structured and when to move from self-serve reading into direct support.
Any article that directly helps with OpenClaw installation, model configuration, channels, gateway access, operations, or production troubleshooting belongs here. Content outside that operational scope should stay off this site even if it lives in the shared Sanity dataset.
Because most OpenClaw readers do not arrive knowing the exact post they need. The topic-hub structure gives search engines and humans a stable overview first, then routes them into the deeper article archive.
Use the articles for reproducible, isolated fixes. If the incident touches uptime, exposed credentials, paid provider spend, or multiple connected systems, move it into direct support before the blast radius grows.
