PR fix notes

PR #63703: fix: enable open-prose /prose slash command by default

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Fixes #63641

Problem

The /prose slash command from the open-prose bundled plugin was not discoverable because:

  1. resolvePluginSkillDirs did not forward enabledByDefault from the manifest record to resolveEffectivePluginActivationState, so bundled plugins without explicit user config were silently disabled.
  2. The open-prose manifest lacked enabledByDefault: true, causing the bundled catch-all in resolvePluginActivationState to return activated: false.

Fix

  • Add enabledByDefault: true to extensions/open-prose/openclaw.plugin.json
  • Forward record.enabledByDefault in resolvePluginSkillDirs to fix the general pipeline bug
  • Add test coverage for both the positive and negative enabledByDefault cases
  • Update workspace skill loading test for new activation behavior

TL;DR

The /prose command not being found suggests that the open-prose plugin may not be properly loaded or configured, despite being enabled in the openclaw.json file.

Guidance

  • Verify that the open-prose plugin is correctly installed and listed in the openclaw.json file, ensuring that the enabled property is set to true.
  • Check the OpenClaw documentation to confirm that the /prose command is a valid command for the enabled plugin and that it matches the expected behavior.
  • Review the OpenClaw version (2026.4.9) to see if there are any known issues or updates related to the open-prose plugin.
  • Ensure that the openclaw gateway restart command was successfully executed after enabling the plugin to apply the changes.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more details on the plugin's implementation, but checking the openclaw.json file for correct configuration is crucial:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "open-prose": { "enabled": true }
    }
  }
}

Notes

The issue might be related to the specific version of OpenClaw (2026.4.9) or the minimax model being used. Without more detailed logs or error messages, it's challenging to provide a precise fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the plugin configuration and ensure that the OpenClaw gateway is properly restarted after enabling the open-prose plugin, as this might resolve the issue without requiring an upgrade.
