-## Get Your API Key
-
-Create a Honcho API key from [app.honcho.dev](https://app.honcho.dev), then add it to your OpenClaw env file:
-
-```bash
-echo "HONCHO_API_KEY=hc_..." >> ~/.openclaw/.env
-```
-
## Install the Plugin
-### Option A: ClawHub Skill (Recommended)
-
-The `honcho-setup` skill on [ClawHub](https://clawhub.ai/ajspig/honcho-setup) handles installation, migration, and workspace setup interactively:
-
-```bash
-clawhub install honcho-setup
-```
-
-Then run the skill from a chat session. It will walk you through plugin installation, legacy memory migration, and workspace doc setup.
-
-### Option B: Manual Install
-
-Install the plugin using the OpenClaw plugin system. **Do not install `@honcho-ai/sdk` directly or use `npm install` in the workspace.**
-
```bash
openclaw plugins install @honcho-ai/openclaw-honcho
+openclaw honcho setup
+openclaw gateway --force
```
-Then enable it:
-
-```bash
-openclaw plugins enable openclaw-honcho
-```
-
-If the gateway logs show `Cannot find module '@honcho-ai/sdk'`, install the plugin's dependencies manually:
-
-```bash
-cd ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-honcho && npm install
-```
-
-Restart the gateway after installing:
+`openclaw honcho setup` prompts for your API key, writes the config, and optionally uploads any legacy memory files to Honcho.

## Migrating Legacy Memory
-If you have existing workspace memory files (`USER.md`, `MEMORY.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `memory/`, `canvas/`, etc.), these can be migrated to Honcho. The recommended path is the `honcho-setup` ClawHub skill, which handles this interactively.
+If you have existing workspace memory files (`USER.md`, `MEMORY.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `memory/`, `canvas/`, etc.), `openclaw honcho setup` will detect them and offer to migrate them.
-Commit any existing memory files to version control before migrating.
+Migration is **non-destructive** — files are uploaded to Honcho. Originals are never deleted or moved.
### Legacy files
@@ -73,19 +56,11 @@ Commit any existing memory files to version control before migrating.

### Upload to Honcho
-Files are uploaded to Honcho via the **messages upload endpoint**. User/owner files are uploaded through the owner peer, and agent/self files through the openclaw peer. The `honcho-setup` skill automates this using `session.uploadFile()`.

-### Archive originals

-After uploading:
-
-1. **Remove originals** for legacy-only files: `USER.md`, `MEMORY.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`
-2. **Keep originals** for active workspace docs: `AGENTS.md`, `TOOLS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `BOOTSTRAP.md`
-3. **Move directories** (`memory/`, `canvas/`) into an `archive/` directory
