Installation

# Via npm
npm install openclaw-profanity

# Via OpenClaw CLI
openclaw plugins install openclaw-profanity

# For hooks
openclaw hooks install openclaw-profanity

Quick Start

Option 1: Skills (Simplest)

Skills are automatically available after installation. Just ask your OpenClaw agent:

"Check this message for profanity: Hello world"
"Censor this text: What the fuck is this?"
"Is this appropriate to send?"

Option 2: Plugin API (TypeScript)

// In your OpenClaw plugin
import { registerProfanityTools } from 'openclaw-profanity';

export default function(api) {
  registerProfanityTools(api);
}

Or use individual tools:

import { profanityTools } from 'openclaw-profanity';

export default function(api) {
  api.registerTool(profanityTools.checkProfanity);
  api.registerTool(profanityTools.censorText);
}

Option 3: Hooks (Auto-Moderation)

# Enable the profanity guard hook
openclaw hooks enable profanity-guard

Configure via environment variables:

export PROFANITY_MODE=moderate     # strict | moderate | lenient
export PROFANITY_BLOCK=false       # Block profane messages
export PROFANITY_CENSOR=true       # Censor profane words
export PROFANITY_LANGUAGES=english,spanish,french

Option 4: MCP (Model Context Protocol)

// openclaw.config.json5
{
  mcp: {
    servers: {
      "glin-profanity": {
        command: "npx",
        args: ["-y", "openclaw-profanity", "mcp-server"]
      }
    }
  }
}
