# Build Your Own OpenClaw A step-by-step tutorial to build your own AI agent, from a simple chat loop to a lightweight version of [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw). <img src="Cover.png" style="width: 100%;"> ## Overview **18 progressive steps** that teach you how to build an minimal version of OpenClaw. Each step includes: - A `README.md` going through key components and design decision. - A Runnable codebase. **Example Project:** [pickle-bot](https://github.com/czl9707/pickle-bot) - our reference implementation ## Tutorial Structure ### Phase 1: Capable Single Agent (Steps 0-6) Build a fully-functional agent that can chat, use tools, learn skills, remember conversations, and access the internet. - [**00-chat-loop**](./00-chat-loop/) - Just a Chat Loop - [**01-tools**](./01-tools/) - Give your agent a tool. - [**02-skills**](./02-skills/) - Extend your agent with `SKILL.md` - [**03-persistence**](./03-persistence/) - Save your conversations. - [**04-slash-commands**](./04-slash-commands/) - Direct user control over sessions. - [**05-compaction**](./05-compaction/) - Pack you history and carry on... - [**06-web-tools**](./06-web-tools/) - Your Agent want to see the bigger world. ### Phase 2: Event-Driven Architecture (Steps 7-10) Refactor to event-driven architecture for scalability and multi-platform support. - [**07-event-driven**](./07-event-driven/) - Expose you agent beyond CLI. - [**08-config-hot-reload**](./08-config-hot-reload/) - Edit without restart. - [**09-channels**](./09-channels/) - Talk to your agent from on your phone. - [**10-websocket**](./10-websocket/) - Want to interact with you agent programatically? ### Phase 3: Autonomous & Multi-Agent (Steps 11-15) Add scheduled tasks, agent collaboration, and intelligent routing. - [
