Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @sebconejo/manifest
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install manifest
What This Skill Does
Installs and configures the Manifest observability plugin for OpenClaw agents. Handles API key setup, optional custom endpoint configuration, and verifies the connection via gateway logs.
Walks through setup in a required order to prevent hot-reload issues that occur when configuring the plugin while the gateway is running.
When to use it
- Setting up Manifest telemetry for a new OpenClaw agent
- Connecting an agent to Manifest after creating an account
- Configuring a custom Manifest endpoint for self-hosted deployments
- Troubleshooting a failed or misconfigured Manifest plugin
- Verifying the observability pipeline is active after installation
