Agents Manager
Skill by agentandbot-design
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/agentandbot-design/agents-managerWhat This Skill Does
The Agents Manager skill serves as the central nervous system for your Clawdbot ecosystem. It provides a robust framework for agent discovery, capability profiling, and organizational mapping. By utilizing a standardized registration system, it allows individual agents to recognize their peers, verify task-assignment permissions, and navigate complex reporting structures. The skill automates the 'Handshake Protocol', ensuring that agents intelligently determine whether a task can be handed off directly or requires human/supervisor approval, thereby preventing bottlenecks and unauthorized task delegation.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the command line interface provided by the OpenClaw ecosystem. Execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/agentandbot-design/agents-manager
After installation, it is mandatory to run the setup wizard to initialize your environment: node scripts/setup_wizard.js. This script populates the necessary registry files and validates your current system configuration.
Use Cases
- Enterprise Agent Orchestration: Managing teams of specialized agents where specific roles have defined hierarchies and reporting lines.
- Autonomous Workflow Scaling: Allowing an AI agent to offload specialized tasks to another agent that is better suited for a specific capability, without manual intervention.
- Secure Task Delegation: Implementing strict permission gating to ensure sensitive or high-risk tasks are only handled by authorized agents, strictly adhering to the handshake approval logic.
- Ecosystem Auditing: Using visualization and logging tools to track how tasks flow through your agent network, helping identify performance gaps or broken links in the escalation chain.
Example Prompts
- "Scan all active agents in the network and generate a report showing who is currently authorized to escalate tasks to the Manager agent."
- "Perform a health check on the agent registry and visualize the current routing hierarchy to identify potential bottlenecks."
- "Can the ResearchAgent assign data formatting tasks to the DataEntryAgent? Please check permissions and confirm the handshake requirements."
Tips & Limitations
- Pro-tip: Always keep your
agent-registry.mdupdated. The skill relies on this file as the 'source of truth' for all agent capabilities. - Limitation: The skill currently requires a Node.js runtime environment. Ensure all agents operating within the hierarchy have access to the base directory where the scripts are hosted.
- Safety: Always review the
task-routing-rules.mdfile after adding new agents to ensure that default escalation paths meet your security requirements.
