Vendor OpenClaw source as Adolf fork baseline
Adolf is a fork/vendored clone of github.com/openclaw/openclaw (v2026.6.11),
free to diverge. Tree copied sans upstream .git; upstream remote added for
future syncs. Node pinned to 24 (.nvmrc); engines already require >=22.19.
Preserves docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

summary: "CLI reference for `openclaw completion` (generate/install shell completion scripts)"
read_when:
- You want shell completions for zsh/bash/fish/PowerShell
- You need to cache completion scripts under OpenClaw state
title: "Completion"
---
# `openclaw completion`
Generate shell completion scripts, cache them under OpenClaw state, and optionally install them into your shell profile.
## Usage
```bash
openclaw completion # print zsh script to stdout
openclaw completion --shell fish # print fish script
openclaw completion --write-state # cache scripts for all shells
openclaw completion --write-state --install # cache, then install in one step
openclaw completion --shell bash --write-state
```
## Options
- `-s, --shell <shell>`: shell target (`zsh`, `bash`, `powershell`, `fish`; default: `zsh`)
- `-i, --install`: install completion by adding a source line for the cached script to your shell profile
- `--write-state`: write completion script(s) to `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/completions` (default `~/.openclaw/completions`) without printing to stdout; with `--shell` writes only that shell, otherwise all four
- `-y, --yes`: skip install confirmation prompts (non-interactive)
## Install flow
`--install` points your profile at the cached script, so the cache must exist first: if it is missing, the command fails and tells you to run `openclaw completion --write-state`. Combine `--write-state --install` to do both in one step. Without `--shell`, `--install` detects the shell from `$SHELL` (falling back to zsh).
The install writes a small `# OpenClaw Completion` block into your shell profile and replaces any older slow `source <(openclaw completion ...)` lines with the cached source line:
| Shell | Profile |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| bash | `~/.bashrc` (falls back to `~/.bash_profile` when `~/.bashrc` is missing) |
| fish | `~/.config/fish/config.fish` |
| powershell | `~/.config/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1` (on Windows: `Documents/PowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1`, or `Documents/WindowsPowerShell/...` for Windows PowerShell) |
| zsh | `~/.zshrc` |
## Notes
- Without `--install` or `--write-state`, the command prints the script to stdout.
- Completion generation eagerly loads the full command tree, including plugin CLI commands, so nested subcommands are included.
- `openclaw update` refreshes the completion cache automatically after a successful update; `openclaw doctor` can repair missing or stale completion setups.
