More than a plugin slot
OpenClaw should not be treated as a button inside a CMS. If it is only a plugin, the system will ask it to perform isolated actions without enough context.
The better model is a collaborator with a visible task queue, conversation history, draft output, and review state.
Collaboration surface
- Assign a goal, not only a command.
- Let the agent show intermediate work.
- Keep conversation attached to the content item.
- Require approval before publishing.
This turns agent work into an inspectable process.
Next step
The admin console should expose OpenClaw jobs as first-class objects. A job can refresh an essay, prepare a project update, or summarize source notes, but it should always be reviewable.
