Problem

The install prompt blocks embedded in README.md (EN) and README.zh-CN.md (ZH) tell the AI agent to "re-clone the official repo" (step 11) but never provide the actual repository URL.

When a user copies the prompt from the README and pastes it into their OpenClaw agent, the agent has no way to locate the repo to clone. It has to ask the user for the URL, breaking the "hands-off install" flow that the prompt is designed for.

The standalone INSTALL_PROMPT.md and INSTALL_PROMPT.en.md already include the full URL — this is a parity gap in the README-embedded versions.

Real-world failure

I hit this exact issue: my OpenClaw agent received the README install prompt, ran environment checks successfully, but then could not proceed because step 11 said "re-clone the official repo" without a URL. The agent had to stop and ask me which repo to clone.

Changes

README.md (EN inline prompt):

  • Step 9: added git clone https://github.com/TianyiDataScience/openclaw-control-center.git for first-time setup
  • Step 11: replaced vague "re-clone the official repo" with the explicit URL + list of core paths to check

README.zh-CN.md (ZH inline prompt):

  • Same changes in Chinese

No source code, tests, or .env.example changes. Only documentation.

The install prompt blocks embedded in README.md and README.zh-CN.md
instruct the agent to 're-clone the official repo' but never provide
the actual repository URL. This means an AI agent receiving only the
README-embedded prompt cannot locate the repo to clone.

The standalone INSTALL_PROMPT.md and INSTALL_PROMPT.en.md already
include the full URL in their Phase 2 step 11 — this commit brings
the README inline prompts to parity.

Changes:
- Step 9: add clone command with full URL for first-time setup
- Step 11: replace vague 're-clone the official repo' with explicit
  URL and list of core paths to check

谢谢你补这个文档细节,这个改动很实用。

README 里的 repo URL 提示现在已经在 main 里了,所以这条 PR 的内容已经被主干覆盖。我先把它关掉,避免重复排队。

后面如果你看到 README / 安装提示里还有类似的信息缺口,继续提我会很欢迎。
