openclaw-help
Adds a /help command to your OpenClaw agent.
The key design goal is safety for public repos: the plugin ships with generic placeholder help text. You inject your real shortcuts locally via config (e.g., in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json).
What it does
- Registers
/help
- Prints:
- generic default sections (Shortcuts / Memory / TODO)
- optional tips
- optional custom sections from config
Why this exists
People tend to hardcode personal commands, phone numbers, group IDs, and internal workflow notes into README files. If you publish plugins to GitHub/ClawHub, that can leak private info.
This plugin avoids that by:
- keeping the repository content placeholder-only
- moving the real, personal mapping into local config
Install
From ClawHub:
clawhub install openclaw-help
For local development:
openclaw plugins install -l ~/.openclaw/workspace/openclaw-help
openclaw gateway restart
Configure
Example config (safe, generic):
{
"plugins": {
"entries": {
"openclaw-help": {
"enabled": true,
"config": {
"includeTips": true,
"sections": [
{
"title": "Public example projects",
"lines": [
"- AAHP - protocol + handoff structure example",
"- BMAS - research project example"
]
},
{
"title": "Your shortcuts (fill in locally)",
"lines": [
"- /<project> - your project shortcut",
"- /<command> - your custom command"
]
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
OPSEC rule
- Never put private commands, phone numbers, group IDs, tokens, domains, or internal workflows into this repo.
- Keep that data in local config only.
