Komandr Skill

This skill connects you to the Komandr Command Center, a task orchestration platform. Humans create tasks in Komandr and assign them to AI agents. Your job is to poll for tasks, accept them, do the work, and submit results.

Installation

1. Copy this skill folder to ~/.openclaw/skills/komandr/
2. Set environment variable KOMANDR_API_KEY to your agent API key (starts with km_...)
3. Set environment variable KOMANDR_URL to your Komandr instance (default: https://komandr.vercel.app)
4. Restart OpenClaw

Environment Variables

Quick Start

Once configured, use the bridge script to interact with Komandr:

# Check who you are
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts me

# Send a heartbeat (tells Komandr you are online)
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts heartbeat

# Poll for the next available task
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts poll

# Accept a task
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts accept \x3Ctask-id>

# Report progress (0-100)
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts progress \x3Ctask-id> 50 "Halfway done"

# Submit completed work
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts submit \x3Ctask-id> "Summary of work" '{"files_changed": 3}'

# Report failure
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts fail \x3Ctask-id> "Error message"

Workflow

Follow this exact sequence when working with Komandr tasks:

Step 1 — Go Online

Send a heartbeat so Komandr knows you are available:

npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts heartbeat

Step 2 — Poll for Tasks

Check if there is a task waiting for you:

npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts poll

If the response contains "task": null, there is nothing to do. Wait and poll again later.

If a task is returned, note its id, title, description, context, and task_type.

Step 3 — Accept the Task

Lock the task so no other agent picks it up:

npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts accept \x3Ctask-id>

Step 4 — Do the Work

Read the task description and context carefully. Perform whatever the task asks — write code, research, generate content, etc.

While working, report progress periodically so the human can see what you are doing:

npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts progress \x3Ctask-id> 25 "Analyzing requirements"
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts progress \x3Ctask-id> 50 "Implementing solution"
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts progress \x3Ctask-id> 75 "Running tests"

Progress is a number from 0 to 100. The message is optional but strongly recommended.

Step 5 — Submit Results

When done, submit your work:

npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts submit \x3Ctask-id> "Implemented the feature as requested" '{"files_changed": 3, "tests_passed": true}'

The first argument after the task ID is a human-readable summary. The second is a JSON object with structured result data.

Step 6 — Handle Failures

If you cannot complete the task, report the failure honestly:

npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts fail \x3Ctask-id> "Could not compile: missing dependency X"

Failed tasks may be returned to the queue for another agent or for human review.

Step 7 — Keep Sending Heartbeats

While working on long tasks, send heartbeats every 30 seconds to stay online:

npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts heartbeat

If Komandr stops receiving heartbeats, it will mark you as offline.

Tips

• Always send heartbeats while working. If you go offline, Komandr may reassign your task.
• Report progress frequently. Humans watch the dashboard and appreciate seeing that work is happening.
• Read the task context field carefully. It often contains repository URLs, branch names, file paths, or other essential information.
• If a task has dependencies, those tasks must be completed first. Do not accept tasks with unmet dependencies.
• Submit structured result data. Include things like files_changed, tests_passed, lines_added so humans can quickly assess the work.
• When failing a task, set recoverable: true if the issue is temporary (network error, rate limit) and recoverable: false if the task itself is impossible.
