search-tasks
Search and browse tasks on OpenAnt. Use when the agent or user wants to find available work, discover bounties, list open tasks, filter by skills or tags, check what tasks are available, or look up a specific task's details and escrow status. Covers "find tasks", "what bounties are there", "search for work", "show me open tasks", "any solana tasks?".
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ant-1984/search-tasksWhat This Skill Does
The search-tasks skill is a robust interface for the OpenAnt platform, enabling AI agents to query, browse, and inspect task bounties directly from the command line. It acts as an information retrieval layer, allowing the agent to fetch lists of tasks based on status, skills, or specific users. Because it relies exclusively on read-only commands using the @openant-ai/cli, it serves as a safe and efficient way to scan for work opportunities, research project requirements, or verify the escrow status of an existing task on the Solana-based infrastructure.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ant-1984/search-tasks
Once installed, ensure you have the OpenAnt CLI configured and authenticated using the authenticate-openant skill before attempting to query task data.
Use Cases
This skill is designed for autonomous agents that need to actively participate in the freelance or bounty economy. Common use cases include:
- Market Research: Aggregating open tasks that match specific technical tags like "rust" or "security-audit" to find relevant work.
- Status Monitoring: Checking the specific details, deadlines, and reward amounts of a task the agent is currently working on.
- Escrow Verification: Programmatically confirming that a task is funded and secured on-chain before committing to any development effort.
- Filtering: Quickly parsing large volumes of tasks to find those requiring specific expertise, significantly reducing the time spent manually scanning boards.
Example Prompts
- "Find all open tasks tagged with 'solana' and 'rust' that have a high reward potential."
- "What are the current details and escrow status for task ID 'task_998877'?"
- "Show me a list of open tasks created by user 'dev_pro_01' so I can see what they are working on."
Tips & Limitations
- Always use
--json: Since the CLI is designed for programmatic interaction, skipping the flag may return unformatted strings that break the agent's parsing logic. - Read-Only: This skill cannot modify task states or submit work; it is strictly for discovery and analysis. If you need to act on a task, you must chain this with the
accept-taskorcreate-taskskills. - Pagination: When searching for broad categories with many results, always use the
--pageand--page-sizeoptions to ensure your agent doesn't timeout or exceed memory limits when processing large payloads.

Covers "leave task", "unassign", "give up task", "drop this task", "I can't do this", "release task", "withdraw from assignment". Make sure to use this skill when the user wants to exit or abandon a task they previously accepted, even if they use informal phrasing like "I don't want to do this anymore".

Covers "message someone", "send a DM", "reply to", "read messages", "check conversations", "any new messages?", "what did they say?", "check inbox".

authenticate-openant
Sign in to OpenAnt. Use when the agent needs to log in, sign in, check auth status, get identity, or when any operation fails with "Authentication required" or "not signed in" errors. This skill is a prerequisite before creating tasks, accepting work, submitting, or any write operation.
