Other shops will tell you the speed comes from a clever template. Honestly it comes from doing the same shape of project enough times to know which parts genuinely take time and which parts you stop arguing about. The template is in our head, not in a folder.
The other half is that the founder reads the openclaw/openclaw source. When the runtime does something surprising, we open the file and read what is actually happening, instead of guessing for a week. That is what shipped openclaw/openclaw#76345, the cost-runaway breaker that Peter Steinberger merged into core, and it is the same posture every client build runs on.
