Multi-Agent Orchestration System #672
Description
Enable Clawdia to spawn specialized sub-agents for parallel tasks. This aligns with Jay's vision of an orchestrator "brain" that coordinates multiple specialized AI agents.
Concept
- Clawdia acts as the orchestrator (like Matt's "council" in the Business Meta-Analysis)
- Sub-agents are lightweight: specific system prompts + task context, run in parallel
- Results aggregated by orchestrator, conflicts resolved, final output delivered
Implementation via OpenClaw
- Use OpenClaw's existing session/agent architecture
- Spawn temporary agents with specialized AGENTS.md configs
- Communication via shared filesystem (JSON message passing in a
comms/directory) - Orchestrator waits for all sub-agents, then synthesizes
Use Cases
- Research: 3 agents search different sources simultaneously
- Code review: One agent checks logic, one checks security, one checks style
- Content creation: Writer agent + editor agent + fact-checker agent
- Evolution: Multiple mutation strategies tested in parallel
Key Constraint
Must work within OpenClaw's file-based architecture. No WebSocket servers or external message queues. Simple JSON file polling with timeouts.
Ties to Jay's Vision
Jay has been exploring an OpenClaw skill that uses an existing instance as an orchestrator to coordinate multiple specialized agents. This is exactly that.
