Product planning for the OpenClaw dashboard app

This video walks through the complete planning package for building the OpenClaw dashboard app — a structured starter kit with product overviews, tech stack docs, milestone-based prompts, and sample integration code pulled from the V1. You'll also see the unique development workflow: building and testing locally, pushing to GitHub, then pulling to the Mac Mini to test real OpenClaw integrations.

The planning package is organized into milestones you work through sequentially with your coding agent in plan mode: project setup, OpenClaw integration, skills registration, the task system (data models, board views, scheduling, dispatch logic), and activity with execution logs. Each milestone comes with a pre-written prompt, and sample Ruby service classes are provided for the trickiest parts — like assembling task instructions and dispatching through the OpenClaw CLI. The whole package is designed as a starting point you can customize, adapt to a different tech stack, and build on with Claude Code or your preferred coding agent.

Topics covered in this video:

  • Development workflow: build locally, push to GitHub, pull to Mac Mini for integration testing
  • Full walkthrough of the planning package structure (readme, overview, tech stack, milestones)
  • Milestone breakdown: project setup, OpenClaw integration, skills, task system (3 parts), activity and logs
  • Pre-written prompts for each milestone designed for plan-mode workflows
  • Sample Ruby service classes for OpenClaw dispatch and log retrieval
  • Using the planning docs as a starter kit — customizable and adaptable to other tech stacks
  • Spec-driven development approach with coding agents

Additional assets

Get the ready-to-build starter kit for developing your custom dashboard application for openclaw.

The provided package includes:

  • Fully scoped product specs
  • Product roadmap with milestones
  • Pre-written prompts for your coding agent
  • Sample code and integration logic pulled directly from Brian's "BMHQ" dashboard app
  • User interface and UX specifications

Use this planning kit as your starting point with your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, etc.), so that you can build, customize and deploy the same (or similar or fully custom) dashboard app that Brian shows in these videos.
