Quick note before we dive in: everything here is based on my personal experience. Your mileage may vary, but these principles have been consistent across every project I have worked on.
Step-by-step
I am going to walk through this exactly as I did it, including the parts where I got confused and had to backtrack. Because that is the reality of working with new tools.
Prerequisites: a working setup of whatever platform you are using (I use OpenClaw but the concepts apply broadly), about 30 minutes of uninterrupted time, and maybe a second monitor for the docs.
Common objections
“But what about X?” I hear this every time I recommend this approach. Yes, X is a consideration. No, it is not a dealbreaker. Here is why.
The gotchas
Three things that will trip you up if you are not ready for them. First: permissions. Always check permissions first when something does not work. Second: caching. Clear it. Clear it again. OK now it works. Third: documentation lag. The docs are often one version behind. When in doubt, check the source code.
