OpenClaw Chat Mark Plugin – Bookmark and Reinject Past Chats in OpenClaw Dashboard
Have you ever been deep in a long conversation with an AI agent in OpenClaw and wished you could reference a specific earlier message without copy-pasting manually? That’s exactly the problem OpenClaw Chat Mark Plugin solves.
What Is the OpenClaw Chat Mark Plugin?
The OpenClaw Chat Mark Plugin (also known as openclaw-dashboard-chat-mark-plugin) is a lightweight, browser-side plugin for the OpenClaw Control UI / Dashboard. It adds a @ button to every chat message — click it to mark that message and add it to a personal context pool.
When you send your next message, all marked context is automatically prepended to your input, formatted like this:
=== Marked Context (selected by user) ===
<<USER>>
the user's original message
<<AGENT>>
the agent's original response
This gives the agent instant “memory” of specific moments in your conversation, without any manual copy-pasting.
Key Features
- One-click mark — hover over any chat message and click the @ button to toggle it in/out of your context pool
- Right panel — all currently marked messages are listed in a Marked Context panel for easy review
- Auto-inject — on your next send, all marked context is automatically appended to your message via WebSocket interception
- Privacy-first — runs entirely in your browser; no data is sent to any external server
- Easy install — one command on Linux, macOS, or Windows (Git Bash); no build step required
Why Bookmarking Chat History Matters in OpenClaw
OpenClaw is a powerful multi-channel AI gateway with a web-based Control UI. When you’re working on complex, multi-turn tasks, you often need to reference specific earlier exchanges — a specific clarification, a key decision, an important code snippet. Copying and pasting manually is tedious and breaks your flow.
The OpenClaw Chat Mark Plugin bridges this gap by letting you bookmark specific chat messages and reinject them as context in one click. It’s a small quality-of-life improvement that makes a big difference in long-running AI conversations.
