Switch engines:
### Installing a context engine plugin
Context engine plugins are installed like any other OpenClaw plugin. Install
first, then select the engine in the slot:
```bash
# Install from npm
openclaw plugins install @martian-engineering/lossless-claw
# Or install from a local path (for development)
openclaw plugins install -l ./my-context-engine
```
Then enable the plugin and select it as the active engine in your config:
```json5
// openclaw.json
{
plugins: {
slots: {
contextEngine: "lossless-claw", // or "legacy" (default)
contextEngine: "lossless-claw", // must match the plugin's registered engine id
},
entries: {
"lossless-claw": {
enabled: true,
// Plugin-specific config goes here (see the plugin's docs)
},
},
},
}
```
Restart the gateway after changing the slot.
Restart the gateway after installing and configuring.
To switch back to the built-in engine, set `contextEngine` to `"legacy"` (or
remove the key entirely — `"legacy"` is the default).
