## What OpenClaw 101 is and what it solves for Chinese learners

OpenClaw is described in the repository README as the world's most popular open-source AI private assistant platform. Getting started with OpenClaw involves finding installation guides, platform integration tutorials (for DingTalk, Feishu, WeChat Work, Telegram) and skill development guides scattered across multiple cloud documentation sites, blogs and video platforms.

OpenClaw 101 collects these resources in one place for Chinese-speaking users. The README describes it as an open-source OpenClaw resource aggregation site aiming to help Chinese users quickly get started with OpenClaw. The site organizes more than 35 tutorials from named sources including Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, DigitalOcean, Hostinger, Codecademy, IBM Think, Bilibili, blog platforms like CSDN and Jianshu, and Reddit.

The repository also links to a Feishu knowledge base wiki that contains a structured seven-day learning path from introduction to advanced use. This external wiki covers content that is not stored in the repository itself.

The README was written by 小墨 (Xiaomo), who also maintains a WeChat account (孟健AI编程). The project is MIT-licensed and was built with Next.js 14, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS.

## How the repository is organized and what it contains

The repository uses a Next.js 14 application structure. The main data file is src/data/resources.ts, which stores all tutorial links as typed TypeScript objects. Each resource object includes a title, a one-sentence description, a URL, a source name, a language field (zh for Chinese or en for English), a category, a featured flag and an array of tags.

The application has two primary routes:

- The homepage (src/app/page.tsx) shows an introduction, the seven-day learning path, a skill recommendation section and a selection of featured resources.
- The resources page (src/app/resources/page.tsx) shows the full collection with filtering and search.

Support components are in src/components/: Hero.tsx for the above-the-fold section, WhatIs.tsx for the OpenClaw introduction, LearningPath.tsx for the seven-day timeline, Skills.tsx for skill recommendations, ResourcesSection.tsx for the homepage resource preview, Community.tsx and Navbar.tsx and Footer.tsx.

The resource categories are: official (official resources), getting-started (install and deploy guides), channel-integration (Feishu, DingTalk, Telegram and similar), skill-dev (skill development), video (video tutorials), deep-dive (analytical articles), tools (tools and plugins) and cloud-deploy (cloud platform deployment).

## Installing and running OpenClaw 101 locally

The repository requires Node.js. Clone it and install dependencies:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/mengjian-github/openclaw101.git
cd openclaw101
npm install
```

Start the development server:

```bash
npm run dev
```

The build command generates the static output and runs a post-build SEO script:

```bash
npm run build
```

The post-build step runs scripts/postbuild-seo.mjs. The project is deployed on Cloudflare Pages and is accessible at openclaw101.dev.

To add a new resource to the collection, edit src/data/resources.ts and add an object following the existing format:

```typescript
{
  title: 'Resource title',
  desc: 'One-sentence description',
  url: 'https://...',
  source: 'Source name',
  lang: 'zh',
  category: 'getting-started',
  featured: false,
  tags: ['tag1', 'tag2'],
}
```

Then submit a pull request with a brief description. The README instructs that translations and content improvements are also welcome.

## Sources covered and what the collection includes

The README lists the sources that OpenClaw 101 covers:

- Alibaba Cloud: DingTalk integration and WeCom AppFlow tutorials
- Tencent Cloud: Feishu and WeCom (Enterprise WeChat) integration tutorials
- DigitalOcean: one-click deployment and overview guides
- Hostinger: VPS deployment tutorial
- Codecademy: structured install tutorial
- IBM Think: in-depth analysis article
- Bilibili: video tutorials
- Juejin/CSDN: Feishu and Telegram integration guides
- Reddit: complete guides and skill sharing

The collection covers both Chinese and English resources, with language tagged on each item so the filter on the resources page can separate them.

Beyond tutorials, the site includes a skill recommendations section organized by scenario. The README does not list the specific scenarios, but the Skills.tsx component indicates this is a curated set rather than a free-form index.

The external Feishu knowledge base linked from the repository contains the seven-day learning path content. This is not stored in the repository and requires visiting the external link.

## Limitations and what OpenClaw 101 does not cover

OpenClaw 101 is a resource aggregator, not a documentation site. It does not host tutorial content itself: each entry is an outbound link to a third-party site or platform. If a linked source removes or changes its content, the link in OpenClaw 101 remains but points to a different or missing page. The README does not describe a broken-link detection process.

The seven-day learning path lives in a Feishu knowledge base, not in the repository. Users who cannot access Feishu (outside China or blocked in certain corporate networks) cannot follow the structured learning path without an alternative access method.

The repository carries no licence file at the top level in the directory listing, though the README states MIT License at the bottom. This may create uncertainty for organizations that require a formal LICENCE file.

The site is focused on Chinese content. English-first users will find fewer relevant resources, and the README itself is in Chinese with some English labels in the technical sections.

OpenClaw 101 is not affiliated with the official OpenClaw project. It is a community-built resource site by an independent developer.

## Maintenance and technology stack

The last push was on 2026-07-28, which is two months before today. The repository is not archived. There are no GitHub releases.

The technology stack is Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and Cloudflare Pages for hosting. The package.json pins next at 14.2.29 and react at 18.3.1. MDX support is included through @mdx-js/loader and @mdx-js/react for any future content that uses Markdown with JSX.

The repository's scripts/postbuild-seo.mjs suggests SEO-related post-processing is applied at build time, though the README does not document what it does. sharp is listed as a dev dependency, which is typically used by Next.js for image optimization.

The README credits Peter Steinberger as the creator of the upstream OpenClaw platform. OpenClaw 101 is a community project and is not affiliated with the OpenClaw upstream development.

## Conclusion

OpenClaw 101 is most useful as a starting point for Chinese-speaking users who want to deploy or extend OpenClaw and need curated, vetted tutorials aggregated in one place. The repository itself is a Next.js application that serves the resource index; running it locally is straightforward with npm install and npm run dev. The content is the value: 35 or more tutorials from named sources including Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Bilibili, Codecademy and IBM Think, organized by category. Users who are already comfortable navigating OpenClaw's upstream documentation or who primarily need English resources will find less utility here, since the site focuses on Chinese-language content. The last push was on 2026-07-28. There are no GitHub releases.
