Agentstead Deploy

What This Skill Does

The Agentstead Deploy skill is a powerful infrastructure-as-code utility designed to bridge the gap between your local AI agent development environment and production cloud hosting. Built by angusmolt, this skill provides a robust interface to the AgentStead cloud ecosystem, allowing you to programmatically create, configure, and manage AI agent instances. By utilizing a secure helper script, the skill automates the authentication lifecycle and provides granular control over deployment parameters, including service plans, AI model selection, and multi-channel configuration. Whether you are scaling a single agent or orchestrating a fleet of services, this tool simplifies the deployment pipeline by abstracting the complex API calls required to provision resources.

Installation

To begin using the skill, ensure you have the OpenClaw environment active. Install the skill by running the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/angusmolt/agentstead-deploy

Once installed, verify that curl and jq are available on your system path, as these are mandatory dependencies for the helper script to process API responses correctly.

Use Cases

• Automated Deployment: Integrate agent provisioning into your CI/CD pipelines to deploy new AI instances upon successful model training.
• Rapid Configuration: Quickly switch between different AI models (e.g., SONNET, GPT-4) and service plans for testing production behavior.
• Multi-Channel Management: Dynamically attach new communication channels, such as Slack or Discord, to existing agents without manual dashboard interaction.
• Production Scalability: Manage thousands of agent instances by programmatically updating personalities and configurations across your entire fleet.

Example Prompts

1. "Agentstead, log me in and create a new agent named 'SupportBot' using the STARTER plan and the SONNET model."
2. "Update my agent with ID 'agent-123' to have a professional and helpful personality."
3. "Configure the channel for my agent 'agent-456' to use Slack with this bot token: xoxb-12345-abcde."

Tips & Limitations

• Security: Always ensure your ~/.agentstead-token file has restricted permissions. The provided helper script attempts to set these via chmod 600 automatically.
• Persistence: The skill relies on a local token file. If you are moving between environments, you will need to re-authenticate.
• Error Handling: If the deployment fails, verify that your credentials are correct by checking the terminal output, which pipes specific error messages from the AgentStead API directly to your console.
