Install WeCanBot Base
@wecanbot/base is the WeCanBot base package. Installing adds a UI service, a UI proxy module, and two basic tools to the current OpenClaw instance.
WeCanBot UI Service
Start local UI server and serve the interface via OpenClaw gateway /ui.
UI Proxy Module
Unified proxy for /ui, /_next, /api, /assets serving the WeCanBot UI.
Workspace Files
Save and read workspace files, attachments, and index for agents/sessions.
cs_task
Task distribution entry for subsequent apps like trading.

WeCanBot Base
WeCanBot is an AI agent orchestration platform built on top of OpenClaw.
It is designed to help you move through four levels of capability:
- Agent: start with a single role for focused work
- Team: combine multiple roles under one leader
- Task: split larger work into tracked sub-problems
- App: turn repeated workflows into reusable automation
@wecanbot/base is the base package that brings this experience into an existing OpenClaw host.
Why Install This Plugin
Install this package if you want OpenClaw to feel less like a raw gateway and more like a usable agent operating environment.
After installation, you get:
- a local WeCanBot UI mounted under
/ui - one UI-serving proxy surface for:
/ui/_next/api/assets
- two base tools:
workspace_filescs_task
In practical terms, this gives you:
- a friendlier interface for running and supervising agent work
- a base file layer for attachments and generated artifacts
- a shared task entrypoint that later app packages can plug into
- built-in prompt templates, so you can save common task instructions and send them quickly when needed
What This Package Is Responsible For
This package is the foundation layer only.
Its job is to provide:
- the WeCanBot UI runtime
- the UI proxy surface under the OpenClaw gateway
- the base workspace and task tools
It is not supposed to be the place where every future app or business workflow lives.
How It Fits the Product Story
The platform story is:
- begin with a single Agent
- coordinate multiple roles as a Team
- dispatch scoped work as Tasks
- expand into reusable Apps
@wecanbot/base is what gives OpenClaw the base UI and tool surface needed for that progression.
Without it, the higher-level WeCanBot experience is not present.
Installation
Recommended official path:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:@wecanbot/base --dangerously-force-unsafe-install
Secondary path:
- a guided
curl | shflow may be used when a session-based install and verify experience is preferred - the intended final installed result is the same as the CLI path
Why It Needs the Capabilities It Uses
This plugin is not a static asset drop.
It will:
- start a local Node UI process
- read
~/.clawsh/cs-server.json - store workspace files and sqlite metadata for
workspace_files - keep
cs_taskavailable as the shared task entrypoint for later installed apps
These behaviors are part of the product design and should be reviewed before install.
Installation Methods
Install via ClawHub
This is the official install method, most direct and easiest to review and execute.
LANG=en openclaw plugins install clawhub:@wecanbot/base@v20260503.1 --dangerously-force-unsafe-installAgent Install
If you cannot use ClawHub smoothly, or need a guided experience with checks.
curl https://wecanbot.cloud/api/install/wecanbot-base?code=751598&version=v20260503.1 | shVerify
If you installed via agent, after gateway restart, run the following command to verify
curl https://wecanbot.cloud/api/install/wecanbot-base/verify?session=ins_sess_da31e376a1505151 | shPermissions & Runtime
- Requires spawning a local Node UI process since OpenClaw only handles mounting and proxying, not frontend runtime.
- Requires reading local server auth state as the plugin uses the server token to communicate with WeCanBot server.
- Requires workspace_files because agents need to persist attachments, workspace files, and index when executing tasks.
- cs_task supports dynamic runtime loading of subsequent apps per configuration, allowing modules like trading to connect to the same task entry after installation.
