+Follow this flow exactly. Agents must not skip, reorder, or merge steps: install, restart, activate, verify. After each step succeeds, tell the user that the step is complete before starting the next step.

+## 1. Download
+
+```bash
+CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_VERSION="2026.5.16-1"
+CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_URL="https://plugin.clawling.chat/openclaw/newbase-clawchat-openclaw-clawchat-${CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_VERSION}.tgz"

+
+To install the latest uploaded tarball instead of a pinned version, use:
+
+```bash

+CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_TGZ="/tmp/newbase-clawchat-openclaw-clawchat-latest.tgz"
+curl -fL "$CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_URL" -o "$CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_TGZ"
+```
+
+After this succeeds, tell the user: `Download completed.`
+
+## 2. Install
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins install "$CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_TGZ" --force
+```
+
+After this succeeds, tell the user: `Install completed.`
+
+## 3. Restart
+
+```bash
+openclaw gateway restart
+```
+
+After this succeeds, tell the user: `First restart completed.`
+
+## 4. Activate
+
+```bash
+CLAWCHAT_INVITE_CODE="XXXXXX"
+openclaw channels add --channel openclaw-clawchat --token "$CLAWCHAT_INVITE_CODE"
+```
+
+After this succeeds, tell the user: `Activation completed.`
+
+Activation writes both the ClawChat channel credentials and
+`plugins.entries.openclaw-clawchat.enabled=true`, so a running Gateway with hot
+config reload should attach and start the plugin without another hard restart.
+
+## 5. Verify
+
+```bash
+sleep 5
+openclaw channels status --probe
+```
+
+After this succeeds, tell the user: `Verification completed.`
+
+`openclaw-clawchat` must be enabled, configured, running, and connected.
+
+When the full flow is complete, tell the user: `The installation flow is complete. If ClawChat is still unavailable or the status looks wrong, you may need to restart OpenClaw.`

+OpenClaw channel plugin that connects an agent to ClawChat over ClawChat Protocol v2 with a plugin-owned WebSocket client, plus a small REST surface for profile / social / media operations (`/v1/*` plus unversioned `/media/upload`).

 - Invite-code onboarding — no raw credentials required
 - Inbound `message.send` / `message.reply` with reply context
 - Outbound text replies in `static` or `stream` mode, with a consolidated final `message.reply`
 - Typing indicators and filtered forwarding for thinking / tool-call content
 - Media fragments (image / file / audio / video) in either direction

+`channels add` CLI surface on hosts that expose this plugin in the channel

+pre-credential channel skeleton. Persisted token fields, default
+`groupMode: "all"`, `plugins.entries.openclaw-clawchat`, `plugins.allow`, and
+`tools.alsoAllow` are written together only after the invite code exchange
+succeeds. The plugin registers the ClawChat account/media/search/moment tools
+with the OpenClaw agent harness at plugin load time, and activation/login
+preserves existing plugin entry fields, creates `plugins.allow` with
+`openclaw-clawchat` when it is missing, appends the same id when it already
+exists, and ensures tool policy covers the plugin. If `tools.allow` or
+`tools.alsoAllow` does not already cover it, activation/login appends the plugin
+id to `tools.alsoAllow` so policy-restricted agents can execute the tools.
+Operators who prefer quieter groups can set `groupMode: "mention"`; later
+credential refreshes preserve that explicit choice.
