Commands

openclaw plugins list
openclaw plugins info <id>
openclaw plugins enable <id>
openclaw plugins disable <id>
openclaw plugins doctor
openclaw plugins update <id>
openclaw plugins update --all
Bundled plugins ship with OpenClaw but start disabled. Use 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

openclaw plugins install <path-or-spec>
Security note: treat plugin installs like running code. Prefer pinned versions. Supported archives: .zip, .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar. Use --link to avoid copying a local directory (adds to plugins.load.paths): 
openclaw plugins install -l ./my-plugin

​
Update

openclaw plugins update <id>
openclaw plugins update --all
openclaw plugins update <id> --dry-run
Updates only apply to plugins installed from npm (tracked in plugins.installs).
