What Are Plugins (Skills)?

Plugins extend your agent's capabilities:

• browser-use - Web browsing and automation
• memory-core - Long-term memory storage
• crypto-tracker - Real-time crypto prices
• email-sender - Send emails via SMTP

Installation Methods

Method 1: Using Config Wizard (Recommended)

Plugin Configuration

Some plugins require additional config. Example for browser-use:

{
  "skills": ["browser-use"],
  "skillConfig": {
    "browser-use": {
      "browser": "chrome",
      "headless": false,
      "viewport": {
        "width": 1920,
        "height": 1080
      }
    }
  }
}

Verifying Installation

After adding plugins, restart your agent:

openclaw start --config clawhub.json

You should see:

✓ Loaded skill: browser-use
✓ Loaded skill: memory-core
✓ Agent started on http://127.0.0.1:3000
