Build, ship, and grow as a solo developer

Manage GitHub from the terminal, delegate boilerplate and tests to a coding agent, announce releases on X to build an audience, and package your best workflows into reusable skills — so each project makes you faster than the last.

Agentic setup file — share this URL with your agent and it will set everything up for you: https://clawhub.md/expert/indie-dev-expert.md

Goal: Build, ship, and grow as a solo developer

What you'll have: Manage GitHub from the terminal, delegate boilerplate and tests to a coding agent, announce releases on X to build an audience, and package your best workflows into reusable skills — so each project makes you faster than the last.

Step 1: Install

clawhub install openclaw/github openclaw/coding-agent openclaw/xurl anthropics/skill-creator

Step 2: Configure

Each skill may need credentials or auth before it can act on your behalf.

openclaw/github

Manage PRs, Issues, and CI from the terminal — stay close to the code without context switching.

  • Authenticate with the GitHub CLI: run gh auth login and follow the prompts
  • Choose HTTPS or SSH, then log in via browser — no extra tokens needed
  • The skill uses gh under the hood, so all your existing GitHub access applies

openclaw/coding-agent

Delegate test generation, boilerplate, and repetitive refactors to Claude Code or Codex — stay in flow on the parts only you can do.

  • Ensure Claude Code is installed: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code (or see https://claude.ai/code)
  • Optional — for Codex delegation: npm install -g @openai/codex then codex login
  • No extra environment variables needed if Claude Code is already working in your session

openclaw/xurl

Announce releases, share what you're building, and engage with users who reply — building in public is how indie devs grow.

  • Apply for an X Developer account at https://developer.twitter.com (free tier is sufficient)
  • Create a project and app, then generate API Key, API Secret, Access Token, and Access Token Secret with Read+Write permissions
  • Set four environment variables: X_API_KEY, X_API_SECRET, X_ACCESS_TOKEN, X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

Step 3: Try it

After setup, say these to your agent to verify everything works:

openclaw/github

  • "List my open PRs and flag anything blocking"
  • "What's the CI status on my current branch?"
  • "Create an issue for the bug I just found"

openclaw/coding-agent

  • "Delegate writing tests for this module to Claude Code"
  • "Have Codex scaffold the API routes for this feature"
  • "Run this refactor in a background agent"

openclaw/xurl

  • "Post the v1.0 launch announcement"
  • "Check my X mentions since yesterday"
  • "Search for people asking about this type of tool"

anthropics/skill-creator

  • "Package this deploy workflow as a reusable skill"
  • "Create a skill that automates my release checklist"
  • "Audit my SKILL.md for best practices"
