Note to User: Depending on its permissions, OpenClaw can already create its own plugins. This skill streamlines the process. Plugins can change how OpenClaw works. They run in‑process with the gateway, so treat them as trusted code.

Overview

Turn a user request into a working OpenClaw plugin: choose an id, scaffold files (openclaw.plugin.json, index.ts, optional package.json), implement commands/tools/services, and document how to enable/restart.
