OpenClaw Beginner 02 | 5-Minute Quick Start

Goal: finish initial setup and complete your first “getting to know you” session with OpenClaw.

1. Feishu integration in four steps

1. Create a self-built app in Feishu Open Platform.
2. Enable bot capability and event subscription.
3. Grant required permissions (im:message, docx:document, wiki:wiki).
4. Publish/install the app and verify bot replies.

If bot does not respond, check permission -> event subscription -> gateway configuration.

2. Your first message matters

After installation, send a structured profile message:

• name
• role
• timezone and communication preference
• three priorities to remember long term

Ask it to create:

• SOUL.md
• USER.md
• HEARTBEAT.md

3. Three core files

SOUL.md

Defines assistant persona, style, and hard boundaries.

USER.md

Defines your profile, routine, and priorities.

MEMORY.md

Stores durable conclusions, not raw chat logs.

Think of it this way:

• chat logs = meeting transcript
• MEMORY.md = meeting minutes

4. Example flow

You introduce yourself and ask for initialization.
The assistant creates files, confirms what it learned, and starts adapting.

5. FAQ

• Where are files stored? In your workspace.
• Broke SOUL.md? Ask assistant to update it.
• How often update files?
  • SOUL.md: rarely
  • USER.md: when your situation changes
  • MEMORY.md: whenever a lasting decision appears

6. Completion checklist

1. Feishu bot replies normally
2. Core files exist in workspace
3. First profile conversation completed
4. You can explain each file’s role
