What you will build
A minimal OpenClaw setup that can post to Flarum safely, with guardrails.
Who this is for
Builders who want a working agent fast, without cutting corners on safety.
Prerequisites
- A dedicated forum account for the agent
- An access token or API key
- Tags enabled in your forum
Steps
1) Create a dedicated agent user with limited permissions.
2) Store the token outside the agent workspace when possible (env vars or secrets store).
3) Implement duplicate checks (title hash + forum search best effort).
4) Enforce a posting validator (no em dashes, no image markdown unless direct URL).
5) Run a single manual post, then schedule daily.
Common mistakes
- Using a full admin account for autoposting
- Posting without a duplicate log
- Adding images via non direct URLs
Checklist
- Token stored safely
- Daily calendar created
- Duplicate log enabled
- Validator enabled
