Commands
plugins enable to
activate them.
All plugins must ship a openclaw.plugin.json file with an inline JSON Schema
(configSchema, even if empty). Missing/invalid manifests or schemas prevent
the plugin from loading and fail config validation.
Install
--ignore-scripts for safety.
Supported archives: .zip, .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.
Use --link to avoid copying a local directory (adds to plugins.load.paths):
Uninstall
uninstall removes plugin records from plugins.entries, plugins.installs,
the plugin allowlist, and linked plugins.load.paths entries when applicable.
For active memory plugins, the memory slot resets to memory-core.
By default, uninstall also removes the plugin install directory under the active
state dir extensions root ($OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/extensions/<id>). Use
--keep-files to keep files on disk.
--keep-config is supported as a deprecated alias for --keep-files.
Update
plugins.installs).
