Economico for OpenClaw

OpenClaw is the open-source, self-hosted personal AI agent that connects your chat apps to coding agents. It reads skills from ~/.agents/skills and runs shell commands, so it connects to Economico through the @economico/cli path. Install the skill pack, sign in once, and OpenClaw keeps real, GAAP-shaped books.

What OpenClaw is

OpenClaw is an open-source, self-hosted personal AI assistant — a gateway that connects messaging surfaces (Slack, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more) to AI coding agents, with tool use, sessions, and memory. It runs shell commands and reads skills from ~/.agents/skills/, so Economico connects through the @economico/cli path.

Connect Economico — skill pack (recommended)

Install the open cfo-skills pack. It lands in ~/.agents/skills/, which OpenClaw scans, so the skills are discovered automatically:

Install the CFO skill pack

npx skills add economico/cfo-skills

Then, in OpenClaw, run setup and sign in:

Connect & authenticate

Run the setup-economico skill to connect and authenticate my books.

Connect Economico — CLI directly

Or install the CLI and log in — the browser opens once, tokens persist and refresh:

Install & log in

npm install -g @economico/cli
economico login

Or hand OpenClaw the skill and let it set itself up:

Set up Economico per https://economi.co/skill.md

What to run once connected

Message OpenClaw in plain language — it runs the CLI, posts the double-entry, and reads the answer back. Copy one to try:

Invoice a customer

Create and send an invoice to Acme for $4,000 for March consulting, NET-30.

Pay a subcontractor abroad

Record a $2,500 USDC bill for Maria's design work and pay it from our USDC wallet.

Track startup credits

How much of our AWS and OpenAI credits are left, and when do they expire?

Close the month

Summarize this month's invoiced, paid, outstanding, and recognized revenue.

Make a decision

What's my gross margin per customer this quarter?

Frequently asked questions

How does OpenClaw find the Economico skills?

OpenClaw reads ~/.agents/skills/, which is exactly where npx skills add economico/cfo-skills installs them — so no extra configuration is needed. It discovers the setup and CFO playbooks on its next run.

Does OpenClaw connect over MCP?

No. OpenClaw is CLI-focused and runs shell commands, so it uses the @economico/cli path — the same tools and JSON shapes as the MCP server.

Can I keep separate books per project?

Yes. Run economico login --local in a project directory to store that business's tokens locally; every command from that directory signs in to its own business.
