/install agent-orchestrator
Description
Meta-agent skill for orchestrating complex tasks through autonomous sub-agents. Decomposes macro tasks into subtasks, spawns specialized sub-agents with dynamically generated SKILL.md files, coordinates file-based communication, consolidates results, and dissolves agents upon completion.
MANDATORY TRIGGERS: orchestrate, multi-agent, decompose task, spawn agents, sub-agents, parallel agents, agent coordination, task breakdown, meta-agent, agent factory, delegate tasks
Usage Guidance
Install only if you intentionally want a skill that can coordinate multiple autonomous sub-agents. Before using it, set explicit limits for how many agents may run, which tools they may use, which directories they may read or write, whether Bash and edits require approval, and when generated workspaces should be archived or deleted.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: agent-orchestrator
Version: 0.1.0
The skill is classified as suspicious due to its powerful capabilities that introduce significant security risks. The `SKILL.md` for the orchestrator describes dynamically generating `SKILL.md` and `inbox/instructions.md` for sub-agents. Crucially, the `references/sub-agent-templates.md` file reveals that several sub-agent types (e.g., 'Code Agent', 'Analysis Agent', 'Integration Agent') are explicitly granted `Bash` shell access. This combination creates a high-risk prompt injection vector, where a maliciously crafted macro task could instruct the orchestrator to generate sub-agent skills that execute arbitrary commands, leading to potential unauthorized system access or data manipulation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose coherently matches the artifacts: decompose work, generate sub-agent skill files, spawn agents, coordinate inbox/outbox files, and consolidate results. The concern is that this is inherently high-impact authority, including autonomous sub-agents and templates that can include Bash, web access, and file read/write/edit capabilities.
Instruction Scope
The instructions do not require explicit confirmation before creating workspaces, writing generated SKILL.md and instructions files, spawning agents, archiving, or cleanup. They also lack clear limits for agent count, runtime, allowed paths, allowed tools, cancellation, or review before passing one agent's output to another.
Install Mechanism
The package contains only text skill and reference files, with no executable installer or bundled script. However, the workflow references scripts/create_agent.py and scripts/dissolve_agents.py even though those scripts are not present in the reviewed artifacts.
Credentials
File operations, Task-based sub-agent spawning, web research, and Bash can be purpose-aligned for orchestration, but the templates describe broad capabilities without scoped path boundaries or per-task containment.
Persistence & Privilege
The design creates persistent per-agent workspaces, status files, optional archives, and autonomous agents that run until completion, but it does not define retention, cleanup boundaries, stop controls, or privilege limits.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install agent-orchestrator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/agent-orchestrator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
