After months of testing and iteration, I have finally nailed this down. Sharing my notes before I forget the details.
Step-by-step
I am going to walk through this exactly as I did it, including the parts where I got confused and had to backtrack. Because that is the reality of working with new tools.
Prerequisites: a working setup of whatever platform you are using (I use OpenClaw but the concepts apply broadly), about 30 minutes of uninterrupted time, and maybe a second monitor for the docs.
The numbers
I hate vague advice. Here are actual numbers from my setup. Your setup will differ, but at least you have a reference point instead of someone saying “it depends” for the fifth time.
The gotchas
Three things that will trip you up if you are not ready for them. First: permissions. Always check permissions first when something does not work. Second: caching. Clear it. Clear it again. OK now it works. Third: documentation lag. The docs are often one version behind. When in doubt, check the source code.
I will update this article as things change — and in this space, things change fast. Bookmark it and check back. More related content at clawdev.net, agent101.net. Official references: Dev.to, LangChain.
