5 Topics to Raise Your Lobster

From freshly installed to genuinely useful.

Craft your SOUL.md

Give your agent a personality, tone, and boundaries. The single most important file. 162+ community templates to start from.

Install your first Skills

ClawHub has 5,400+ skills. You need 3–5 to start. Web browsing, email, Google Workspace — instant impact.

Cron Jobs & Heartbeat

This is where a chatbot becomes an agent. Daily briefs, email digests, automated follow-ups — all without you prompting.

Use the Memory System

Do a brain dump. Let your agent learn about you over weeks. Projects, preferences, contacts — it remembers everything.

Secure your Gateway

The default is wide open. Change it to localhost, run a security audit, keep it personal. Short, critical, often overlooked.
