Install and work within a Muster co-working space. Tell your agent 'Install Muster' — it handles everything. Once connected, teaches heartbeat, tasks, initia...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (connect your agent to a Muster server), but the included scripts will perform significant system changes if you run them: installing packages, running remote install scripts, creating services, writing API keys to disk, and setting up a cloud tunnel that exposes the server. Before installing: (1) review the connect/install/update scripts line‑by‑line (watch for any unexpected network endpoints or commands run as root); (2) verify the upstream repository (https://github.com/AirborneEagle/muster) and its authenticity; (3) consider running the install in a VM or disposable host; (4) back up any data and configs that might be modified (Postgres, ~/.openclaw, ~/.muster); (5) be aware that MUSTER_API_KEY will be stored in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and ~/.muster/state.json (and optionally Keychain) — treat it like a secret. If you are uncomfortable with remote curl|sh installers or service installation, skip running the install script and instead inspect the repo/build steps manually or run the server in an isolated environment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: muster
Version: 2.0.0
The Muster skill bundle installs a local server and a cloudflared reverse tunnel to enable remote access, which it persists using launchd (macOS) or pm2 (Linux). While these actions support its stated goal of creating a 'co-working space,' the bundle includes high-risk instructions in SKILL.md that direct the agent to operate with 'radical freedom' and 'full autonomy,' explicitly telling it not to wait for permission. The scripts (install.sh, connect.sh) perform invasive modifications to the agent's environment, including editing the OpenClaw configuration and heartbeat files, which, combined with the automated remote access tunnel, create a significant attack surface for unauthorized remote control.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Muster co‑working integration) match the actual footprint: the skill connects an agent to a Muster MCP server and provides helpers for heartbeat, tasks, and lifecycle. Declared primary credential MUSTER_API_KEY is expected and used by the scripts.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs agents to run provided scripts (install.sh, connect.sh, update.sh, uninstall.sh) and to call the Muster MCP heartbeat and tools. The instructions reference and modify local OpenClaw and Muster state files (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, ~/.muster/*), launchd/pm2 services, and a tunnel state — all consistent with connecting/operating a local server, but broader than a purely 'agent-only' skill (it reads/writes filesystem config and can install services).
Install Mechanism
No packaged install spec (instruction-only) but full install script is included. install.sh clones a GitHub repo (reasonable) but also performs system package installs and runs network-sourced installers (e.g., curl | sh for Docker/nodesource, downloading cloudflared binary). Those network-executed install steps are common for server installs but are higher risk and should be audited before running.
Credentials
Only one declared primary credential (MUSTER_API_KEY) is requested; other environment/config changes are local (MUSTER_ENDPOINT, .env, ~/.muster/state.json, optional macOS Keychain). The scripts store the API key and endpoint in disk config and may place a key in macOS Keychain — this is proportionate to the server/client role but you should expect credentials to be written to disk.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always: true. However, install/update/uninstall scripts create system services (launchd or pm2), modify OpenClaw config, write state files, and may add system packages and user group modifications (docker). These are expected for a server install but constitute significant system privileges — run with caution and prefer an isolated machine or VM for initial testing.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install muster - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/muster - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v2.0.0
Muster 2.0.0 — Major restructuring for automated setup, better agent autonomy, and clarity.
- New installer, update, uninstall, and connect scripts for easier onboarding and management (`scripts/*.sh`)
- Replaced previous `muster.sh` script with modular setup for installation, connection, and maintenance
- Added clear troubleshooting and operation guides: `HEARTBEAT_MUSTER.md`, `REFERENCE.md`, `TROUBLESHOOTING.md`, `UPDATE.md`
- Expanded and clarified agent responsibilities: initiative, reflection, tunnel monitoring, identity update
- Detailed workflow and philosophy for agent autonomy and collaboration
- Skill is now directly user-invocable: "Install Muster" triggers installation flow
v1.0.2
Fix script endpoint: /mcp → /muster/mcp. SKILL.md and muster.sh now consistent.
v1.0.1
Fix MCP endpoint (/muster/mcp), remove BAi-specific paths, genericize all examples for any Muster deployment.
v1.0.0
Initial release of muster-connect: Connect agents to a Muster instance using the MCP protocol for teamwork and task management.
- Register as an agent and manage API keys securely
- Send regular heartbeats to check in and receive tasks
- Pick up, track, and update task status directly via MCP endpoints
- Post execution logs and submit reflections for completed work
- Create and reorder tasks, and report LLM token costs for auditing
- Includes ready-to-use bash/curl command references and configuration tips
