openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] MiniMax Token Plan (Max) broken in sub-agents after v5.22 bootstrap change

Problem

After upgrading to OpenClaw v5.22, sub-agents can no longer use MiniMax Token Plan features (image generation, video, music, PPT, Word, Excel, PDF) because the sub-agent bootstrap was changed to only load AGENTS.md + TOOLS.md, causing all Token Plan SKILL.md files to be unloaded.

Environment

• OpenClaw v5.22 (e510042)
• MiniMax Token Plan (Max version) — includes image-01 (120/day), Hailuo 2.3 video, Music 2.6, Office generation
• User configured with MiniMax API Key in auth-profiles.json

Symptoms

Symptom 1: image_generate tool ETIMEDOUT from WSL

• mmx image command → api.minimax.chat → works with Token Plan Key ✅
• image_generate tool → MiniMax image station IPs (199.96.58.15 etc.) → ETIMEDOUT ❌
• image_generate tool returns 2049 invalid api key even with valid Token Plan Key in auth-profiles.json

Symptom 2: Sub-agent image_generate returns immediately without waiting

• Sub-agent calls image_generate tool → background task started → sub-agent exits immediately → image generation fails silently
• Workaround: Use exec: mmx image in sub-agent instead, which works correctly

Symptom 3: Sub-agent bootstrap missing Token Plan SKILL.md

• After v5.22, sub-agents only bootstrap with AGENTS.md + TOOLS.md
• MiniMax Token Plan skill files (minimax-ppt-slides, minimax-docx, minimax-xlsx, minimax-pdf, etc.) are not loaded in sub-agents

Workarounds applied

In AGENTS.md, we added the following rule for all MiniMax Token Plan features:

This works but is fragile and not discoverable.

Suggested fixes

1. P0: Fix image_generate endpoint to route Token Plan Key users to api.minimax.chat/image_generation
2. P1: Restore SKILL.md loading in sub-agent bootstrap for Token Plan users
3. P2: Document the mmx CLI workaround

Impact

All users relying on MiniMax Token Plan for office document generation cannot use these features in automated sub-agent workflows.
