descriptionSuppress the OpenClaw CLI banner message. Use when the user says "hide openclaw banner", "disable openclaw banner", "suppress openclaw banner", "remove openclaw banner", "openclaw banner is annoying", "turn off the lobster", or wants to stop seeing the OpenClaw startup tagline on every command invocation.

Hide OpenClaw Banner

The OpenClaw CLI banner is emitted during CLI bootstrap (Commander.js preAction hook) before the plugin system initializes. A plugin cannot suppress it. Use the built-in env var instead.

How to Apply

Add to the user's shell config (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc):

export OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER=1

Place it near any existing OpenClaw config (e.g., after the completions source line).

After editing, remind the user to run source ~/.zshrc or open a new terminal.

How to Revert

Remove the OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER line from the shell config, then source ~/.zshrc.
