|
Community plugins are third-party packages that extend OpenClaw with channels,
|
|
tools, providers, hooks, or other capabilities. Use [ClawHub](/clawhub) as the
|
|
primary discovery surface for public community plugins.
|
|
|
|
## Find plugins
|
|
|
|
Search ClawHub from the CLI:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw plugins search "calendar"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install a ClawHub plugin with an explicit source prefix:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw plugins install clawhub:<package-name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
npm remains a supported direct-install path during the launch cutover:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw plugins install npm:<package-name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use [Manage plugins](/plugins/manage-plugins) for common install, update,
|
|
inspect, and uninstall examples. Use [`openclaw plugins`](/cli/plugins) for the
|
|
full command reference and source-selection rules.
|
|
|
|
## Publish plugins
|
|
|
|
Publish public community plugins on ClawHub when you want OpenClaw users to
|
|
discover and install them. ClawHub owns the live package listing, release
|
|
history, scan status, and install hints; the docs do not maintain a static
|
|
third-party plugin catalog.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
clawhub package publish your-org/your-plugin --dry-run
|
|
clawhub package publish your-org/your-plugin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Before publishing, make sure the plugin has package metadata, a plugin manifest,
|
|
setup docs, and a clear maintenance owner. ClawHub validates owner scope,
|
|
package name, version, file limits, and source metadata before it creates a
|
|
release, then keeps new releases hidden from normal install and download
|
|
surfaces until review and verification finish.
|
|
|
|
Use this checklist before you publish:
|
|
|
|
| Requirement | Why |
|
|
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Published on ClawHub | Users need `openclaw plugins install` hints to work |
|
|
| Public GitHub repo | Source review, issue tracking, transparency |
|
|
| Setup and usage docs | Users need to know how to configure it |
|
|
| Active maintenance | Recent updates or responsive issue handling |
|
|
|
|
Use these pages for the full publishing contract:
|
|
|
|
- [ClawHub publishing](/clawhub/publishing) explains owners, scopes, releases,
|
|
review, package validation, and package transfer.
|
|
- [Building plugins](/plugins/building-plugins) shows the plugin package shape
|
|
and first publish workflow.
|
|
- [Plugin manifest](/plugins/manifest) defines native plugin manifest fields.
|
