OpenClaw Implementation Checklist

Use this checklist before moving an OpenClaw agent from a promising local workflow into a production business process. It helps teams catch the operational gaps that usually appear after the demo works.

1. Workspace and ownership

  • The agent workspace has a named business owner and a technical owner.
  • The workflow objective, users, trigger points, and expected outputs are documented.
  • Production and test workspaces are separated or clearly labeled.
  • Human review points are assigned to real roles, not generic teams.

2. Tool access and permissions

  • Every connector, MCP tool, file path, and API key has a documented purpose.
  • Write actions are scoped to the minimum systems and records required.
  • External actions such as email, CRM updates, posts, or deployments require approval where risk is meaningful.
  • Secrets are stored outside prompts, repos, browser notes, and chat history.

3. Observability and recovery

  • Runs capture inputs, tool calls, outputs, errors, and human approvals.
  • There is a clear way to find the last successful run and the last failed run.
  • Rollback or manual recovery steps exist for failed writes and partial executions.
  • Alerts go to an owner who can actually intervene.

4. Launch and governance

  • The first production rollout is narrowed to one workflow, one owner, and one measurable outcome.
  • Risky steps are tested with dry runs or staging records before live writes.
  • The team reviews results within 7, 14, and 30 days.
  • The deployment has a backlog for hardening, measurement, and expansion.

How to score it

Give one point for every checked item. Then use the result to decide what happens next.
