Plugin SDK subpath catalog: which imports live where, grouped by area
Choosing the right plugin-sdk subpath for a plugin import
Auditing bundled-plugin subpaths and helper surfaces
Plugin SDK subpaths
The plugin SDK is exposed as a set of narrow public subpaths under
openclaw/plugin-sdk/. This page catalogs the commonly used subpaths grouped by
purpose. The generated compiler entrypoint inventory lives in
scripts/lib/plugin-sdk-entrypoints.json; package exports are the public subset
after subtracting repo-local test/internal subpaths listed in
scripts/lib/plugin-sdk-private-local-only-subpaths.json. Maintainers can audit
the public export count with pnpm plugin-sdk:surface and active reserved
helper subpaths with pnpm plugins:boundary-report:summary; unused reserved
helper exports fail the CI report instead of staying in the public SDK as
dormant compatibility debt.
Migration provider item helpers such as createMigrationItem, reason constants, item status markers, redaction helpers, and summarizeMigrationItems
plugin-sdk/migration-runtime
Runtime migration helpers such as copyMigrationFileItem, withCachedMigrationConfigRuntime, and writeMigrationReport
plugin-sdk/health
Doctor health-check registration, detection, repair, selection, severity, and finding types for bundled health consumers
Deprecated compatibility and test helpers
Deprecated subpaths stay exported for older plugins, but new code should use the
focused SDK subpaths below. The maintained list is
scripts/lib/plugin-sdk-deprecated-public-subpaths.json; CI rejects bundled
production imports from it. Broad barrels such as compat, config-types,
infra-runtime, text-runtime, and zod are compatibility only. Import zod
directly from zod.
OpenClaw's Vitest-backed test-helper subpaths are repo-local only and are no
longer package exports: agent-runtime-test-contracts,
channel-contract-testing, channel-target-testing, channel-test-helpers,
plugin-test-api, plugin-test-contracts, plugin-test-runtime,
provider-http-test-mocks, provider-test-contracts, test-env,
test-fixtures, test-node-mocks, and testing.
Reserved bundled plugin helper subpaths
These subpaths are plugin-owned compatibility surfaces for their owning bundled
plugin, not general SDK APIs: plugin-sdk/codex-mcp-projection and
plugin-sdk/codex-native-task-runtime. Cross-owner extension imports are blocked
by package contract guardrails.

Reserved bundled-helper SDK subpaths are narrow owner-specific surfaces for
bundled plugin code. They are tracked in the SDK inventory so package
builds and aliasing stay deterministic, but they are not general plugin
authoring APIs. New reusable host contracts should use generic SDK subpaths
such as `plugin-sdk/gateway-runtime`, `plugin-sdk/security-runtime`, and
`plugin-sdk/plugin-config-runtime`.
