5 OpenClaw Plugins That Actually Make It Production-Ready

OpenClaw's default configuration handles basic use but breaks down in production workflows. Five plugins address distinct gaps: Manifest routes requests to cheaper models based on task complexity, cutting API costs by up to 70%. Composio handles OAuth and token management for 850+ external apps like Gmail, Slack, and GitHub. Hyperspell replaces the flat MEMORY.md with a knowledge graph that injects only relevant context per turn. Foundry watches session patterns and auto-generates reusable tool definitions. Opik provides structured LLM and agent tracing with per-span visibility into tool calls, latency, and token costs. Each plugin covers a non-overlapping layer and can be installed independently via the openclaw plugins install command.
