• Quick onboarding: zeroclaw onboard --api-key "sk-..." --provider openrouter
• Guided onboarding: zeroclaw onboard
• Existing config protection: reruns require explicit confirmation (or --force in non-interactive flows)
• Ollama cloud models (:cloud) require a remote api_url and API key (for example api_url = "https://ollama.com").
• Validate environment: zeroclaw status + zeroclaw doctor

• Runtime operations: ../ops/README.md
• Reference catalogs: ../reference/README.md
• macOS lifecycle tasks: macos-update-uninstall.md
