# Fabric.OpenclawPlugin

A native **OpenClaw channel plugin** that connects OpenClaw agents to Fabric
guilds as real channel members. Independent of OpenClaw's source — it only
uses the public plugin SDK.

## Model

- `kind: "channel"` plugin (like the bundled discord channel). OpenClaw core
  owns dispatch and the reply pipeline via the channel-turn kernel
  (`resolveAgentRoute` + `finalizeInboundContext` +
  `dispatchInboundReplyWithBase`). Fabric already owns turn/shuffle/mention/
  `/no-reply` server-side, so this plugin is thin.
- Fabric's per-recipient **`wakeup`** maps to admission:
  - `wakeup === true` → **dispatch** (the agent runs and may reply).
  - `wakeup !== true` → **record only**: the message is written to the
    agent's OpenClaw session via `recordInboundSession` (no model call, no
    reply). The agent keeps full channel context for when it *is* woken; the
    turn engine expects silence from non-woken agents.
- Replies are forced to **automatic** delivery
  (`replyOptions.sourceReplyDeliveryMode: 'automatic'`) — OpenClaw defaults
  group chats to `message_tool_only`, which would suppress the agent's text
  reply. Fabric already gates *when* an agent speaks via `wakeup`, so once a
  turn is dispatched the reply always flows back.
- One Fabric socket per agent identity. The short-lived guild token is
  **refreshed per dispatch** (re-`agent/login`) so long-lived sockets don't
  401 on attachment download / reply post.

## Files to agents

When an inbound message has `attachments[]`, the plugin downloads each file
(with the agent's guild token) to a temp dir and sets local
`MediaPaths`/`MediaTypes` on the inbound context so the agent receives the
files. `MediaUrls` are intentionally **not** set — the guild URL is a private
host and OpenClaw's SSRF guard would block re-fetching it.

## Auth

Each agent has a Fabric Center **API key** (mint via Center CLI:
`node dist/cli.js user apikey --email <agent-email>`). The key is exchanged
for a user session (`POST /auth/agent/login`). Bind a key to an agent with
the `fabric-register` tool, or via `channels.fabric.accounts`.

## Config

- `channels.fabric.centerApiBase` — e.g. `http://localhost:7001/api`
- `channels.fabric.accounts.<agentId>` = `{ fabricApiKey, enabled }`
  (**agent = account**; the account id is the OpenClaw agentId)
- plugin `identityFilePath` — default `~/.openclaw/fabric-identity.json`

### Required: route binding (account → agent)

OpenClaw routes a channel turn via `cfg.bindings`; without a Fabric binding
it falls back to the default agent. One per account:

```json
{ "agentId": "<agent>", "match": { "channel": "fabric", "accountId": "<account>" } }
```

Then `openclaw gateway restart`.

## Tools

- `fabric-register` — bind this agent's Fabric API key
- `create-chat-channel` (general) / `create-work-channel` (work) /
  `create-report-channel` (report) / `create-discussion-channel` (discuss)
- `discussion-complete` — post a summary, then close the channel
  (closed → history readable; new posts → `409`)

## Install / build

```bash
npm install && npm run build
node install.mjs              # build + copy to ~/.openclaw/plugins/fabric + configure
```

`install.mjs` mirrors the PaddedCell-style installer (also `--uninstall`).
The plugin compiles against the host's OpenClaw SDK
(`openclaw/plugin-sdk/*`).
