OpenClaw Router

Use this skill when the user wants to install, update, repair, or verify the openclaw-router plugin on a local OpenClaw setup.

Published ClawHub slug: local-openclaw-router

What this skill does

Clones or updates the public openclaw-router repository
Syncs the plugin into ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-router
Runs the plugin test suite
Refreshes runtime state
Restarts the local OpenClaw gateway
Verifies health, openclaw router CLI availability, and stats output

Default workflow

When using this skill, perform these steps directly:

Clone or update https://github.com/xucheng/openclaw-router.git into ~/.openclaw/local-plugins/openclaw-router
Remove legacy ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-main-router if present
Sync the repo into ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-router
Ensure ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json contains:
- plugins.allow including openclaw-router
- plugins.entries.openclaw-router.enabled = true
- plugins.installs.openclaw-router pointing at the local plugin and extension paths
- no stale openclaw-main-router install or entry records
Run node --test inside the repo
Refresh runtime state with lib/runtime-state.js
Restart the local OpenClaw gateway
Verify /health, openclaw router show medium, and ~/.openclaw/scripts/openclaw-router-stats.sh

What to verify after install

Run these checks:

curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:43111/health
openclaw router show medium
~/.openclaw/scripts/openclaw-router-stats.sh

Expected outcomes:

/health returns provider openclaw-router
openclaw router show medium prints the current MEDIUM tier chain
the stats script runs without errors

Notes

This skill installs the plugin from GitHub; it does not publish code.
Prefer running the install/update steps inline instead of relying on an embedded helper script.
If the gateway briefly reports a 1006 close code after restart, retry once after a short delay.
If the host still has legacy openclaw-main-router directories, migrate them to openclaw-router.
