Job Description:
I need an experienced AI automation engineer to fully set up OpenClaw on my Mac mini (M4 Pro, macOS 14+). I attempted setup myself, but OpenClaw keeps crashing during agent creation and Node Desktop Agent installation. I want to wipe the current setup and rebuild everything cleanly.
This is a one‑time setup project with potential for ongoing work.
Scope of Work
1. Clean Reset
• Remove all existing OpenClaw installs, configs, LaunchAgents, Node Desktop Agent files, and related dependencies.
• Ensure no leftover processes, services, or corrupted configs remain.
2. Fresh Installation
• Install OpenClaw cleanly.
• Set up the Node Desktop Agent so the system can:
◦ Control macOS
◦ Read the screen when needed
◦ Execute terminal commands reliably
3. Multi‑Agent Architecture Setup
I need two agents configured:
Agent 1 — “Derek” (Primary Agent)
• Provider: MiniMax
• Model: MiniMax‑M2.5
• Purpose: Main reasoning agent (“brain”)
Agent 2 — “Alex” (Sub‑Agent for Coding & System Tasks)
• Provider: OpenAI
• Model: Codex‑5.3 (or latest Codex model)
• Purpose:
◦ Terminal commands
◦ Debugging installs
◦ Fixing Node Desktop Agent
◦ Editing config files
◦ macOS permissions
◦ LaunchAgents
◦ Gateway pairing issues
Rules for Alex
• Automatically use Alex for:
◦ Terminal commands
◦ npm
◦ brew
◦ node
◦ config files
◦ debugging
◦ installation tasks
4. API Keys
I already have:
• MiniMax M2.5 API key (with $50 credit)
• OpenAI API key (with Codex access)
You will:
• Integrate these keys securely
• Verify both agents can call their respective providers
• Test multi-agent routing
5. Stability Testing
• Ensure OpenClaw no longer crashes when:
◦ Creating sub‑agents
◦ Running coding tasks
◦ Installing Node Desktop Agent
◦ Executing system commands
• Validate that Derek can call Alex for coding tasks without errors.

Deliverables
• Fully working OpenClaw installation
• Derek + Alex agents configured exactly as described
• Node Desktop Agent installed and stable
• Clean documentation of:
◦ What was installed
◦ Where configs live
◦ How to restart services
◦ How to add future agents safely

Requirements
• Experience with OpenClaw or similar agent frameworks
• Strong macOS automation / devops background
• Familiarity with LLM provider routing (OpenAI, MiniMax, etc.)
• Node.js + LaunchAgents experience
• Ability to troubleshoot macOS permissions and agent crashes
---
Bonus Skills
• Telegram bot integration
• AI agent orchestration
• Codex / code‑focused LLMs
---
Budget
Open to hourly or fixed price depending on experience.
