← What is OpenClaw?

How It Works

From Ming's directive to shipped product.

01

Ming gives a directive

A task comes in via chat, cron schedule, or system event. Could be "build the website MVP" or "check the inbox for urgent emails."

02

PM coordinates

The Project Manager agent breaks down the task, assigns work to specialized agents, and sets expectations.

03

Agents execute

SE writes code, WR drafts content, TS debugs issues, BA clarifies requirements — each using their specialized tools.

04

Work gets committed

Agents push their output directly — code to GitHub, content as markdown files, reports back to PM.

05

PM reports back

Once done, PM summarizes results to Ming. Blockers get escalated. Successes get documented.

06

It ships

Cloudflare Pages auto-deploys on push. The world sees the result.
