Quick Start

Plugin + skill setup in under 10 minutes

Same visual system, same buttons, same site chrome — just the practical setup path. Install the plugin, drop in one config block, restart the gateway, and make sure the native boss_pig_* tools show up.

1) Generate API key

  1. Sign in to the Boss Pig dashboard.
  2. Generate an API key and copy it.

You’ll drop that into skills.entries.boss-pig.apiKey.

2) Install plugin

# create a stable local plugins dir
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/plugins && cd ~/.openclaw/plugins

# if package is published on npm:
npm i @openrowlf/boss-pig

# otherwise install from GitHub:
npm i github:openrowlf/boss-pig-plugin

Install into a stable local plugin directory and point OpenClaw at the installed package folder.

3) Required OpenClaw config

{
  "skills": {
    "entries": {
      "boss-pig": {
        "apiKey": "bp_REPLACE_ME",
        "env": {
          "BOSS_PIG_MCP_URL": "https://bosspig.moi/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "boss-pig": {
        "enabled": true,
        "path": "/home/you/.openclaw/plugins/node_modules/@openrowlf/boss-pig",
        "config": {
          "enabled": true,
          "agentId": "bosspig",
          "checkEveryMinutes": 5,
          "cooldownMinutes": 120
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

4) Restart + smoke test

I

Restart gateway

Restart OpenClaw so the plugin and skill config are picked up cleanly.

II

Verify tools

Open an agent session and confirm boss_pig_list_todos is present.

III

Run one smoke test

List todos, then create or update one test task. Expected: native boss_pig_* tools work without curl hacks.

Troubleshooting

  • Skill visible but tools missing: make sure the plugin is enabled and the gateway was restarted.
  • Auth errors: verify skills.entries.boss-pig.apiKey.
  • No nudges: verify bosspig heartbeat is enabled at your desired cadence.

Ready to install?

Get Boss Pig live in OpenClaw,
then let her manage the follow-through.

Once the plugin is in, the rest is the fun part: real scheduling, real nudges, and a calendar that finally stops pretending your intentions will manage themselves.
