OpenClaw Quickstart

This is the fastest path to get Chirpier working with OpenClaw.

Recommended path

1. create or copy a Chirpier API key from the web app
2. export that key into the OpenClaw runtime as CHIRPIER_API_KEY
3. install or load chirpier-skills
4. start with the chirpier skill
5. emit one canonical OpenClaw event
6. confirm the event definition appears in Chirpier
7. create one chart and one policy

For v1, Chirpier standardizes backend rollup periods on:

• minute
• hour
• day

Use those values in event-log and alerting APIs. UI shortcuts like 30d belong to chart/embed filtering, not the backend period contract.

If you want the opinionated OpenClaw workflow, use chirpier-skills. If you want the thinnest possible setup, emit the same events directly with the SDK.

Minimal JavaScript example:

import { createClient } from "@chirpier/chirpier-js";
 
const client = createClient({ key: process.env.CHIRPIER_API_KEY! });
 
await client.log({
  agent: "openclaw.main",
  event: "tool.errors.count",
  value: 1,
  meta: { tool_name: "browser.open", workflow: "triage" },
});
 
await client.flush();
await client.shutdown();

Then continue with Use chirpier-skills and Canonical Event Names.
