Overleaf Plugin for OpenClaw

Manage Overleaf LaTeX projects through git integration. An OpenClaw plugin that provides agent tools for cloning, branching, compiling, and pushing Overleaf projects.

Tools

Tool	Description
`overleaf_clone`	Clone an Overleaf project via git
`overleaf_branch`	Create or switch branches for tailored versions
`overleaf_compile`	Compile LaTeX locally (pdflatex/xelatex/lualatex)
`overleaf_push`	Stage, commit, and push changes to Overleaf
`overleaf_status`	Check project status, branch, and changes
`overleaf_health`	Verify credentials, connectivity, and compiler setup

Installation

bash

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@wahajahmed010/openclaw-overleaf

Configuration

Add to your OpenClaw config:

json5

{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      overleaf: {
        config: {
          projectDir: "/path/to/overleaf/projects",  // defaults to workspace root
          defaultCompiler: "pdflatex"  // or "xelatex", "lualatex"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Credentials

Store Overleaf credentials at ~/.openclaw/.overleaf_credentials:

bash

echo "OVERLEAF_EMAIL=your@email.com" > ~/.openclaw/.overleaf_credentials
echo "OVERLEAF_PASSWORD=your_password_or_token" >> ~/.openclaw/.overleaf_credentials
chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/.overleaf_credentials

Usage

Once installed and configured, the agent can use Overleaf tools directly:

Clone: overleaf_clone with a project ID from the Overleaf URL
Branch: overleaf_branch to create resume/company-slug branches
Edit: The agent reads and modifies .tex files
Compile: overleaf_compile to verify no LaTeX errors
Push: overleaf_push with a commit message

Workflow Example

Clone: overleaf_clone({ projectId: "abc123" })
Branch: overleaf_branch({ projectId: "abc123", branchName: "resume/acme-corp" })
Edit the .tex files (agent does this via file tools)
Compile: overleaf_compile({ projectId: "abc123" })
Push: overleaf_push({ projectId: "abc123", message: "tailor: resume for Acme Corp" })
