Description
Multi-agent dispatcher skill. Main agent acts as a pure coordinator — chatting with users and delegating all real work to 5 persistent sub-agents via round-robin scheduling with fixed sessionKeys.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (coordinate and delegate). Before installing or using it: 1) Treat the sub-agents as separate recipients — any user content you put into tasks will be forwarded to those sub-agents and may be retained by them. Avoid sending sensitive secrets or private data unless you confirm how session memory is handled. 2) Ask the platform or skill proprietor whether the persistent sessionKeys retain conversation history across tasks and whether you can clear or isolate that memory. 3) Test with non-sensitive inputs to observe behavior (who gets spawned, what the spawn payload looks like in logs). 4) Confirm platform audit/logging and revocation procedures in case you need to stop sub-agents or delete retained data. If you require strict data isolation or must not forward user context to other agents, do not use this skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: respond-first Version: 11.0.0 The skill is designed as a multi-agent dispatcher, explicitly prohibiting the main agent from using `exec`, file read/write, search, or any execution tools. Its sole function is to delegate tasks to pre-defined sub-agents via `sessions_spawn` with strict parameters. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the main agent within the provided `SKILL.md` instructions or other metadata files. The instructions clearly define a constrained, coordinating role for the agent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, declared requirements, and instructions align: it's an instruction-only dispatcher that relies on platform session spawning. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or install steps requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md strictly limits the main agent to chat-and-delegate behavior (no exec, file I/O, search) and defines the exact spawn payload. This is coherent, but the instructions require the main agent to put a 'self-contained' task (including all necessary context) into every spawn call — meaning user messages and context will be forwarded to sub-agents. The skill also uses permanent sessionKeys (persistent sub-agents) but does not provide guidance about memory clearing or data isolation between tasks; that creates a privacy/data-retention consideration.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — lowest-risk delivery model (instruction-only). Nothing is written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths — proportional to an instruction-only dispatcher. Note: sensitive user data is still forwarded in spawn tasks (by design), so privacy—not credential—risk is the main concern.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (no forced permanent inclusion). However, the design depends on five 'persistent' sub-agents identified by fixed sessionKeys; persistent agents may retain state between tasks beyond what the skill describes. Combined with normal autonomous invocation behavior of the platform, persistence increases the blast radius for any retained data or misbehavior by a sub-agent, though the skill itself does not request elevated platform privileges.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install respond-first
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /respond-first
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v11.0.0
Rewritten as generic multi-agent dispatcher: 5 persistent sub-agents (alpha/bravo/charlie/delta/echo), round-robin scheduling, speak-first protocol. No theme — pure coordination framework.
v2.3.0
v2.3.0: All content translated to English for international use. Added explicit 'answer questions first, then mention task' protocol with correct/wrong examples.
v2.0.1
v2.0.1: Fixed CLI command — use 'openclaw message send' instead of 'clawdbot message send'. Verified bypass works with Discord.
v2.0.0
v2.0.0: BREAKING - Added CLI bypass mechanism. Agent now sends immediate acknowledgment to Discord via 'clawdbot message send' BEFORE executing tool calls, solving the blockStreaming delay problem. Previous versions relied on turn text response which only delivered after all tool calls completed.
v1.1.0
v1.1.0: Added async sub-agent delegation — chat and work are now separated. Heavy tasks go to sub-agents, main thread stays responsive. Auto-callback when sub-agents complete.
v1.0.0
Initial release: always-on communication protocol to prevent AI agents from going dark during tool calls
