Openclaw Workspace Governance Installer

OpenClaw Workspace Governance Installer

Ship safer OpenClaw operations from day one. This installer gives you a repeatable governance path instead of ad-hoc prompt edits.

Why this is popular

1. Prevents "edit first, verify later" mistakes.
2. Gives one predictable setup/upgrade/audit flow.
3. Makes changes traceable for review and handover.
4. Works for both beginners and production workspaces.

60-second quick start

First-time install:

# 1) Install plugin
openclaw plugins install @adamchanadam/openclaw-workspace-governance@latest
openclaw gateway restart

In OpenClaw chat:

/gov_setup quick

If /gov_setup quick says allowlist is not ready:

/gov_openclaw_json
/gov_setup quick

Already installed (upgrade path):

openclaw plugins update openclaw-workspace-governance
openclaw gateway restart

Then in OpenClaw chat:

/gov_setup quick

If allowlist is not ready:

/gov_openclaw_json
/gov_setup quick

What you get

1. gov_setup quick|check|install|upgrade — deploy, upgrade, or verify governance in one step.
2. gov_migrate — align workspace behavior to the latest governance rules after install or upgrade.
3. gov_audit — verify 12 integrity checks and catch drift before declaring completion.
4. gov_uninstall quick|check|uninstall — clean removal with backup and restore evidence.
5. gov_openclaw_json — safely edit platform config (openclaw.json) with backup, validation, and rollback.
6. gov_brain_audit — review and harden Brain Docs quality with preview-first approval and rollback.
7. gov_boot_audit — scan for recurring issues and generate upgrade proposals (read-only diagnostic).
8. gov_apply <NN> — apply a single BOOT upgrade proposal with explicit human approval (Experimental, controlled UAT only).
9. gov_help — see all commands and recommended entry points at a glance.

Feature maturity (important)

1. GA flow for production rollout: gov_setup -> gov_migrate -> gov_audit, plus gov_uninstall, gov_openclaw_json, gov_brain_audit, gov_boot_audit.
2. Experimental flow: gov_apply <NN> remains controlled-UAT scope.
3. All /gov_* command outputs use branded format: 🐾 header, emoji status indicators (✅/⚠️/❌), structured bullets, and 👉 next-step guidance.

When to use which command

1. Daily default: gov_setup quick (one-click chain)
2. After install or upgrade: gov_migrate then gov_audit
3. Edit platform config safely: gov_openclaw_json
4. Review Brain Docs: gov_brain_audit
5. Recurring issue scan: gov_boot_audit
6. Clean removal: gov_uninstall quick

Who this is for

1. New OpenClaw users who want a guided install path.
2. Teams operating long-running workspaces.
3. Users who need auditable, low-drift maintenance.
