solo-pipeline

What This Skill Does

The solo-pipeline skill for OpenClaw is a powerful orchestration tool designed to automate complex, multi-stage workflows. Instead of manually invoking individual skills, solo-pipeline chains them together into a coherent, automated loop. Whether you are moving from an initial abstract idea to a full Product Requirement Document (PRD) or transitioning from a project scaffold to a fully functional build, this skill manages the transition between stages automatically using a specialized Stop hook. It maintains a persistent state file, allowing the agent to track progress and recover if a session is interrupted, ensuring the pipeline reaches a final <solo:done/> signal.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your OpenClaw terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/fortunto2/solo-pipeline

Use Cases

1. Research Automation: Transform a loose idea into a structured PRD by chaining research and validation steps.
2. Full-Stack Development: Take a project name and stack, then trigger a sequence that scaffolds the directory structure, sets up environment dependencies, generates the development plan, and executes the build.
3. Long-running Task Management: When a project requires multiple, sequential AI agent actions that should not be manually monitored at every step, solo-pipeline provides the necessary automation layer.

Example Prompts

1. "Run pipeline: research the viability of a decentralized AI therapist app."
2. "Automate research to PRD for my new e-commerce project."
3. "Start a dev pipeline for a React and Node.js project named 'my-dashboard' with the feature: user onboarding."

Tips & Limitations

• Manual vs. Automated: Always use solo-pipeline for workflows involving two or more skills. For single actions, invoke the specific skill directly to avoid overhead.
• State Management: If you need to stop a pipeline mid-run, simply delete the local state file located at .solo/pipelines/solo-pipeline-{project}.local.md.
• Monitoring: When running in a terminal, take advantage of the optional tmux dashboard for real-time log tailing and status updates. If you are operating without the solo-factory plugin, you can monitor progress manually by checking the generated log files with tail -f.
• Safety: Ensure you have read/write access to your project directories, as the pipeline creates various configuration and log files to track its progress.
