multi-agent-sync
Coordinate multi-agent tasks with visible group updates. Use when delegating work across multiple topic agents and the user needs transparent progress in-group (start update, mid-progress update, final summary).
Why use this skill?
Optimize your OpenClaw agent collaboration with multi-agent-sync. Ensure transparent progress, real-time status updates, and efficient task orchestration.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cecwxf/multi-agent-syncWhat This Skill Does
The multi-agent-sync skill is a sophisticated orchestration layer designed for the OpenClaw ecosystem. It transforms complex, multi-agent workflows from opaque background processes into transparent, user-facing projects. By mandating a strict communication protocol, it ensures that when you delegate work—such as coding tasks, research, or content generation—across multiple topic-specific agents, every participant and the end-user remains synchronized. It enforces a structured lifecycle for tasks: Kickoff, Dispatch, Mid-progress, and Final Summary, ensuring that no agent works in isolation and the user never has to guess the state of a multi-part operation.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw command-line interface. Run the following command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cecwxf/multi-agent-sync
Ensure your OpenClaw runtime environment has sufficient permissions to manage cross-topic communication and internal cron/watcher jobs.
Use Cases
This skill is indispensable for:
- Large-scale Software Engineering: Coordinating a frontend, backend, and documentation agent to build a new feature module simultaneously.
- Complex Research Projects: Tasking one agent with gathering data while another prepares a summary report, ensuring the user sees the progress of both in real-time.
- Automated Content Workflows: Managing a content creation pipeline where one agent handles generation, another handles SEO review, and a third publishes the final result.
Example Prompts
- "Use multi-agent-sync to coordinate a team of agents to build a React dashboard. One agent should write the UI code using openai-codex-operator, and the other should write the unit tests. Post all updates to the 'frontend-dev' topic thread."
- "I need a deep market analysis. Please trigger a multi-agent-sync session: delegate data collection to Agent A and synthesis to Agent B. Keep the main chat clear and update me in the 'research-sync' topic only."
- "Initiate a multi-agent-sync task for the refactor project. Task Agent Alpha with code cleanup and Agent Beta with documentation. Make sure to enable high-frequency updates so I can see every pull request milestone as it hits the repo."
Tips & Limitations
- Transparency is Key: Always prioritize group thread updates over main channel clutter. If you are a developer, ensure your agents are explicitly configured to report in the specified formats.
- Non-blocking Behavior: This skill is designed for non-blocking execution. If you notice an agent hanging, use the heartbeat status updates to diagnose if a tool call is timing out.
- Compliance: You must strictly adhere to the mandatory workflow. Failing to define the orchestration logic (Codex + multi-agent-sync) at the kickoff stage may result in misaligned agent outputs or lost progress tracking.
