Summary

Summary

I’m running OpenClaw 2026.6.1, and the dashboard/config UI appears to reference Skill Workshop, but the actual bundled plugin files and local docs are missing from the installed npm package. Because of that, enabling plugins.entries.skill-workshop causes config validation/plugin discovery warnings.

Steps to reproduce

openclaw upgrade

Expected behavior

Skill Workshop should be available as a bundled plugin, or at least the docs/config UI should not expose it as available for this release.

Expected files:

dist/extensions/skill-workshop/openclaw.plugin.json
docs/plugins/skill-workshop.md

Actual behavior

The installed package does not contain the Skill Workshop runtime files:
bash
ROOT="$(npm root -g)/openclaw"
ls -la "$ROOT/dist/extensions/skill-workshop"

OpenClaw version

2026.6.1

Operating system

ubuntu

Install method

Model

Logs, screenshots, and evidence

ROOT="$(npm root -g)/openclaw"
ls -la "$ROOT/dist/extensions/skill-workshop"
cat "$ROOT/dist/extensions/skill-workshop/openclaw.plugin.json"

Output
Plugin not found: skill-workshop. Run openclaw plugins list to see installed plugins, or openclaw plugins search skill-workshop to look for installable plugins.

The CLI and Gateway are using the same install:

CLI version: 2026.6.1 (~/.npm-global/bin/openclaw)
Gateway version: 2026.6.1
Command: /usr/bin/node /home/admin/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/index.js gateway --port 18789
`openclaw health --json` shows loaded plugins, but not `skill-workshop`:
["brave", "llm-task", "lobster", "memory-core", "memory-wiki", "openrouter", "telegram"]
When I had this in config:
json5
plugins: {
  entries: {
    "skill-workshop": {
      enabled: true,
      config: {
        autoCapture: true,
approvalPolicy: "pending",
        reviewMode: "hybrid",
      },
    },
  },
}
OpenClaw reported:
plugins.entries.skill-workshop: plugin not found: skill-workshop
plugins.allow: plugin not found: skill-workshop (stale config entry ignored; remove it from plugins config)

Impact and severity

Unknown

Additional information

I removed the config entry for now. This looks like a packaging/build omission in openclaw@2026.6.1: the release references Skill Workshop, but the npm package does not include the plugin runtime files or local docs.
