/term — direct terminal execution (exec dispatch)

/term is a power-user shortcut: whatever you type after /term is forwarded as-is to OpenClaw’s exec tool.

This is intentionally “manual mode”:

• You (the user) provide the exact shell command.
• OpenClaw does not rewrite, expand, or “helpfully” change it.
• It’s useful when you want quick, deterministic terminal actions without a planning loop.

How dispatch works (important)

OpenClaw supports command-dispatch: tool skills. When you run:

• /term ls -la

the raw argument string (ls -la) is forwarded to the configured tool (exec) without extra parsing. In tool-dispatch mode, OpenClaw invokes the tool with params shaped like:

{ command: "<raw args>", commandName: "<slash command>", skillName: "<skill name>" }
