Hide OpenClaw Banner

The OpenClaw CLI banner is emitted during CLI bootstrap (Commander.js

preAction

hook) before the plugin system initializes. A plugin cannot suppress it. Use the built-in env var instead.

How to Apply

Add to the user's shell config (

~/.zshrc

~/.bashrc

export OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER=1

Place it near any existing OpenClaw config (e.g., after the completions

source

line).

After editing, remind the user to run

source ~/.zshrc

or open a new terminal.

How to Revert

Remove the

OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER

line from the shell config, then

source ~/.zshrc
