Plugin Integration Development Skill

Overview

This skill enables users to create, develop, and integrate their own plugins, tools, and commands into OpenClaw. It provides guidelines, templates, and examples to streamline the development process.

Purpose

• Guide users through creating OpenClaw plugins, tools, and commands.
• Provide best practices for development, testing, and integration.
• Offer examples and utilities to simplify the process.

Key Features

• Plugin Templates: Predefined templates for plugins, tools, and commands.
• Validation Scripts: Utilities to validate plugin structure and metadata.
• Example Plugins: Ready-to-use examples for quick experimentation.
• API Reference: Documentation for OpenClaw's plugin API.

Getting Started

1. Initialize a New Plugin

Use the init-plugin.sh script to create a new plugin scaffold:

~/.openclaw/skills/plugin-integration/scripts/init-plugin.sh <plugin-name>

2. Develop Your Plugin

Follow the structure in the examples/ directory to develop your plugin. Key files:

• manifest.json: Metadata for the plugin (name, version, description, etc.).
• plugin.js or command.js: Main logic for the plugin or command.
• README.md: Documentation for the plugin.

3. Validate Your Plugin

Use the validate-plugin.sh script to ensure your plugin meets OpenClaw's requirements:

~/.openclaw/skills/plugin-integration/scripts/validate-plugin.sh <plugin-directory>

4. Integrate Your Plugin

Place your plugin in the OpenClaw plugins directory (e.g., ~/.openclaw/plugins/) and restart OpenClaw to load it.

Example Plugins

Hello World Plugin

A simple plugin that logs "Hello World" to the console.

• Directory: examples/hello-world/
• Files: plugin.js, manifest.json, README.md

Custom Command

A custom command that greets the user by name.

• Directory: examples/custom-command/
• Files: command.js, manifest.json, README.md

API Reference

Refer to references/api-reference.md for detailed documentation on OpenClaw's plugin API.

CLI Reference

Refer to references/cli-reference.md for OpenClaw CLI commands related to plugin management.

Best Practices

• Modularity: Keep plugins small and focused on a single task.
• Documentation: Document every plugin with a README.md file.
• Validation: Always validate your plugin before integration.
• Testing: Test plugins in a development environment before deploying them.

Troubleshooting

• Plugin Not Loading: Ensure the manifest.json file is correctly formatted and the plugin is placed in the correct directory.
• Errors in Logic: Use console.log or OpenClaw's logging utilities to debug issues.
