Agent Team Kit

What This Skill Does

The Agent Team Kit provides a structured operational framework for OpenClaw agents, transforming individual bots into a collaborative, self-sustaining team. By implementing a standardized process loop (Discover, Triage, Ready, Execute, Feedback), the kit eliminates human bottlenecks and allows agents to self-organize. It defines clear roles like the 'Scout' for discovery, 'Rhythm' for queue management, and 'Harmony' for team health, while providing a plug-and-play directory structure for managing project tasks, roles, and status updates. The kit is designed to scale from single-agent setups to complex multi-agent environments where specialized 'execution' agents like the 'Link' (builder) or 'Sage' (architect) can be spawned to tackle specific objectives autonomously.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal within your OpenClaw workspace: clawhub install openclaw/skills/ryancampbell/agent-team-kit

Once installed, initialize the process structure by running: cp -r skills/agent-team-kit/templates/process ./process

Finally, integrate the heartbeat functionality by appending the template to your existing configuration: cat skills/agent-team-kit/templates/HEARTBEAT.md >> HEARTBEAT.md

Use Cases

• Automated Research Teams: Deploy agents to continuously scan external data sources (Scout) and draft reports (Sage) without manual oversight.
• Software Development Workflows: Automate the transition from feature requests to code implementation, utilizing the Backlog and Status tracking to maintain project velocity.
• Content Production: Streamline blog or social media pipelines where a team of agents handles brainstorming, drafting, design, and posting.

Example Prompts

1. "Agent, initialize the team process files and perform a quick check on the current BACKLOG.md to see what is ready for execution."
2. "Rhythm role, please audit the OPPORTUNITIES.md file and move any high-priority items into the READY queue for the rest of the team."
3. "Harmony, run a brief retrospective on the last three tasks completed in STATUS.md and suggest improvements for our workflow."

Tips & Limitations

• Ownership is Key: Ensure every file in the /process directory is actively monitored by at least one agent role. Stagnant files kill the loop.
• Customize Roles: Do not hesitate to rename roles to fit your specific professional context. The provided defaults are starting points, not hard constraints.
• Limitations: This kit requires persistent storage (the process/ folder) to function. If the files are deleted or modified outside of OpenClaw, the team's 'memory' will be disrupted. Always ensure your agents have appropriate read/write permissions for the workspace directory.
