claw-mo-open

Quickly add a specific file or directory to the running mo server and open it in the browser.

For config schema, HTTP API, and browser opening: read ${PLUGIN_DIR}/references/shared.md

Arguments

• $ARGUMENTS — file path, directory, or glob pattern. Optional --group to specify target group.
• Examples: /claw-mo-open docs/spec.md, /claw-mo-open plans/ --group plans

Steps

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS — extract file/dir path and optional --group name (default: default)

2. Check prerequisites: command -v mo >/dev/null 2>&1

3. Get project key and read config from ${PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/config.json

4. Resolve the file path to absolute: realpath <path>

5. If server is running (mo --status --json shows this port):

   • File: Use HTTP API to add it:

     curl -s -X POST "http://localhost:$PORT/_/api/files" \
       -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
       -d "{\"path\": \"$(realpath file.md)\", \"group\": \"$GROUP\"}"
     

   • Directory: Use HTTP API to add a watch pattern:

     curl -s -X POST "http://localhost:$PORT/_/api/patterns" \
       -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
       -d "{\"pattern\": \"dir/**/*.md\", \"group\": \"$GROUP\"}"
     

6. If server is NOT running:

   • Has config → start server with /claw-mo-up behavior first, then add the file/dir
   • No config → quick-open without setup: auto-assign port using the hash method from shared.md (6300 + hash % 100), then mo --no-open -p $PORT $(realpath <path>) and open browser. Tell the user about /claw-mo-setup for persistent config.

7. Open browser to the specific group: http://localhost:$PORT/$GROUP

8. Report what was added and where

Gotchas

• HTTP API needs absolute paths — always realpath before sending
• If the group doesn't exist in mo yet, the API creates it automatically
• Adding a file that's already in mo is safe — mo deduplicates by path
