Agent Workflow
A structured workflow engine for OpenClaw agents. Migrated and generalized from the superpowers workflow system into a code-agnostic, general-purpose workflow plugin.
What it does
Provides a persistent state machine that guides your agent through a complete work lifecycle:
brainstorming → writing-plans → [execute] → verification → finishing-work
↓
subagent-driven-execution
OR
executing-plans
With support for:
- Persistent state — workflow survives session restarts
- Multi-project — run multiple workflows concurrently
- Branching — choose execution strategy at branch points
- Context-plugins — fork into review/parallel-agents without leaving main flow
- Soft-guard goto — jump to any step with warnings about skipped prerequisites
- 11 bundled Skills — covering the full workflow lifecycle
Installation
This is a Plugin, not a plain Skill. Install via:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:agent-workflow
openclaw gateway restart
Then enable in your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
{
"plugins": {
"allow": ["agent-workflow"]
},
"tools": {
"allow": ["agent_workflow"]
}
}
Usage
In your agent (via Feishu, Discord, or any channel):
Start a new workflow for my Q2 planning project
The agent will call agent_workflow with action: "start" and guide you through the workflow.
Tool: agent_workflow
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
start |
Begin a new workflow |
status |
View current state (all active workflows if no ID given) |
next |
Advance to the next step |
goto |
Jump to any node (soft-guard warns about skipped steps) |
complete |
Mark current node done |
fork |
Activate a context-plugin without leaving main flow |
join |
Complete a fork and return |
getSkill |
Load full SKILL.md for the current node |
list |
List all workflows |
abandon |
Abandon a workflow |

Usage Guidance
This plugin appears to be what it claims — a persistent workflow engine that reads project files, writes workflow state, and dispatches subagents. Before installing: 1) Verify the plugin source (clawhub:agent-workflow) is trusted; if unsure, inspect the full source (especially src/state-store.ts and src/skill-loader.ts) for any network calls or unexpected file access. 2) Check the package contents that will be installed (the package-lock shows many SDKs not in package.json) to ensure no surprising third-party binaries are included. 3) Confirm you are comfortable with workflow state being written under ~/.openclaw (or set storageDir to a controlled location). 4) If you do not want autonomous agent invocation, keep disable-model-invocation or other policy controls in mind at the platform level. If you want, provide the contents of src/state-store.ts and src/workflow-engine.ts for a deeper review of file I/O and any network behavior.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: agent-workflow
Version: 1.0.0
The bundle is a comprehensive workflow management plugin for OpenClaw agents, providing a persistent state machine to guide complex tasks. The TypeScript code (index.ts, src/state-store.ts) implements standard filesystem-based state management and tool registration without any suspicious network calls or shell executions. The bundled SKILL.md files use authoritative language to enforce process discipline (e.g., requiring root cause analysis and verification), but these instructions are strictly aligned with the stated goal of improving agent reliability and do not contain malicious prompt injections or instructions to exfiltrate data.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (Agent Workflow) matches the code and SKILL.md: it registers an agent_workflow tool, provides workflow steps, and bundles SKILLs for brainstorming → plan → execute → verify → deliver. The plugin stores state (persistent workflows) and loads bundled skills — these capabilities are expected for a workflow manager. There are no declared env vars or external credentials that don't belong to this purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly tells agents to "explore project context — check existing files, docs, prior work" and to save artifacts (e.g., docs/specs/...). That file- and state-oriented behavior is coherent for a workflow plugin, but it does mean the plugin/skills will read and write workspace files and may dispatch subagents. Verify that behavior is acceptable for your environment (e.g., private repos, secrets in project files).
Install Mechanism
The SKILL.md instructs installation via the OpenClaw plugin hub (openclaw plugins install clawhub:agent-workflow). The repository provides code files rather than requiring arbitrary remote downloads or unusual install scripts. No extract-from-URL downloads or shorteners were present in the provided metadata.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required by the skill. One minor oddity: the included package-lock.json lists many SDKs (Anthropic, AWS clients, etc.) that are not present in package.json dependencies; these entries appear as dev or incidental entries in the lockfile. This is not necessarily malicious, but you should confirm the final published package contents and dev/vendor dependencies before installing from an untrusted source.
Persistence & Privilege
The plugin stores state under a storageDir (defaults to ~/.openclaw/workspace) and is not marked always:true. It requests normal plugin permissions (enable in openclaw.json and allow the agent_workflow tool). This level of persistence is expected for a workflow engine; ensure the default storage location and permissions are acceptable for your environment.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install agent-workflow - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/agent-workflow - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
