sbusso Install Extension
Install a ClaudeClaw extension from GitHub.
Usage
/install slack
/install triage
Flow
1. Validate input
The argument is the extension short name (e.g., slack, triage). The full repo name is claudeclaw-<name>.
EXTENSION_NAME="${1}"
REPO="https://github.com/sbusso/claudeclaw-${EXTENSION_NAME}.git"
EXT_DIR="extensions/claudeclaw-${EXTENSION_NAME}"
2. Check if already installed
[ -d "$EXT_DIR" ] && echo "Extension claudeclaw-${EXTENSION_NAME} is already installed." && exit 0
If already installed, ask if the user wants to update instead (git pull + rebuild).
3. Clone the extension
mkdir -p extensions
git clone "$REPO" "$EXT_DIR"
4. Read manifest and install dependencies
cat "$EXT_DIR/manifest.json"
If manifest.json has a dependencies field, install them at the root:
cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && npm install <each dependency with version>
5. Compile the extension
cd "$EXT_DIR" && npx tsc
6. Run post-install hook
If manifest.json has hooks.postInstall:
chmod +x "$EXT_DIR/hooks/install.sh"
bash "$EXT_DIR/hooks/install.sh" "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
This copies skills, agents, and agent skills into the ClaudeClaw root.
7. Rebuild core
npm run build
8. Restart service
Detect OS and restart:
macOS:
SERVICE_NAME=$(launchctl list | grep claudeclaw | awk '{print $3}')
[ -n "$SERVICE_NAME" ] && launchctl kickstart -k "gui/$(id -u)/$SERVICE_NAME"
Linux:
systemctl --user restart claudeclaw
9. Verify
Print confirmation:
Extension claudeclaw-<name> installed successfully.
- Skills: <list from manifest>
- Type: <channel|extension>
- Restart: service restarted
