OpenTangl Plugin for OpenClaw

This is an OpenClaw plugin (not a plain skill). It registers native tools into the OpenClaw agent runtime so you can operate OpenTangl entirely from chat.

Once installed, your agent gains 11 tools covering the full OpenTangl lifecycle: reading the queue, proposing tasks, running autopilot, executing workflows, auditing cross-repo wiring, and managing the merge pipeline.

Install

openclaw plugins install opentangl-plugin

Then restart your gateway:

openclaw gateway restart

Configure

Add to your OpenClaw config file:

{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      opentangl: {
        enabled: true,
        config: {
          // Required: path to your OpenTangl workspace
          // (the directory containing projects.yaml and tasks/)
          workdir: "/path/to/your/opentangl-workspace",

          // Optional: override the CLI path if not in PATH
          // bin: "/usr/local/bin/opentangl",

          // Optional: timeout in ms (default 120000; increase for autopilot)
          // timeout: 300000,
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

To enable the mutating tools (they are off by default for safety):

{
  tools: {
    allow: [
      "opentangl_propose",
      "opentangl_autopilot",
      "opentangl_run_workflow",
      "opentangl_next",
      "opentangl_wire",
      "opentangl_merge",
      "opentangl_prune",
      "opentangl_resume",
    ],
  },
}

Prerequisites

  • OpenTangl installed and configured (
    projects.yaml
    + 
    .env
    with API key)
  • node
    , 
    git
    , 
    gh
    in PATH
  • OPENAI_API_KEY
    or 
    ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
    in the environment

What you get

Always-on tools (read-only)

ToolWhat it does
opentangl_queue
Task queue with dependency status
opentangl_projects
Registered projects and resolved paths
opentangl_list_executions
Recent workflow executions

Optional tools (enable via 
tools.allow
)

ToolWhat it does
opentangl_propose
Analyze codebase → propose tasks (
preview
or 
queue
)
opentangl_autopilot
Full autopilot: propose + write + verify + commit + PR
opentangl_run_workflow
Run a workflow YAML (
run
or 
auto
mode)
opentangl_next
Execute the next eligible queue task
opentangl_wire
Read-only cross-repo wiring audit
opentangl_merge
Merge pipeline: CI wait, diff review, merge/escalate
opentangl_prune
Remove terminal tasks, commit cleaned queue
opentangl_resume
Resume a failed workflow execution by ID

Example session

You:   What's in the task queue?
Agent: [opentangl_queue] → 3 pending, 1 running, 2 completed

You:   Propose some tasks for the api project
Agent: [opentangl_propose mode=preview projects=api] → shows proposed tasks

You:   Queue them
Agent: [opentangl_propose mode=queue projects=api] → appended 4 tasks

You:   Run the next one
Agent: [opentangl_next] → executes task, commits changes

You:   Run the merge pipeline
Agent: [opentangl_merge] → opens PRs, waits for CI, merges
