Description

Summary

Add --openclaw flag to rtk init -g to automatically install the RTK plugin for OpenClaw, following the same pattern as --opencode.

Tasks

  • Add --openclaw flag to rtk init CLI args
  • Copy openclaw/index.ts + openclaw/openclaw.plugin.json to ~/.openclaw/extensions/rtk-rewrite/
  • Add OpenClaw check to rtk init --check diagnostics
  • Add uninstall support in rtk init --uninstall

Context

  • OpenCode equivalent: rtk init -g --opencode (already implemented)
  • OpenClaw plugin: PR #358
  • Plugin location: ~/.openclaw/extensions/rtk-rewrite/

Reference

Pattern to follow: run_opencode_only_mode() in src/init.rs

Research direction
Examine the implementation of `run opencode only mode()` in `src/init.rs` as a template. Review the OpenClaw plugin files at `openclaw/index.ts` and `openclaw/openclaw.plugin.json`. Understand how the opencode flag is parsed and used, then replicate the pattern for openclaw, including adding the flag, copying files, and updating diagnostics and uninstall logic.
