/install project-coordinator
Description
Spawns an isolated Project Coordinator session that owns a project's context, breaks work into tasks, and spawns subagents for parallel execution.
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent for coordinating multi-agent projects, but it has powers that can touch workspace files and run shell commands via spawned subagents. Before installing: 1) Verify you trust the GitHub source and the archive-project dependency it references; 2) Do not store secrets or credentials in the workspace that Coordinators or subagents could read; 3) Confirm your platform enforces the promised sandboxing (no access to environment variables or session transcripts except via the archive-subagent) and requires human approval before deletion during archiving; 4) If you rely on strict data governance, review the archive-project skill's behavior and the repository contents yourself before allowing the skill to run.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: project-coordinator
Version: 1.0.13
The skill requests high-risk permissions including 'exec' for shell command execution and 'sessions_spawn' for creating sub-agent sessions. While these capabilities are plausibly required for its stated purpose of project coordination and multi-agent management, they provide a broad attack surface for potential misuse. The documentation in SKILL.md and README.md emphasizes security practices like session isolation and credential sanitization (via the archive-project dependency), but the inherent risks of arbitrary command execution and session management meet the threshold for a suspicious classification.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (project coordination, spawning subagents, monitoring tasks) match the instructions and declared permissions (spawn sessions, read workspace files, exec via subagents). Dependencies list 'archive-project' which is appropriate for the described archiving behavior.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md confines sensitive operations (transcript reading, sanitization, archiving) to a dedicated archive-subagent and instructs the Coordinator not to read transcripts directly. The Coordinator is still allowed to read/write workspace files and run shell commands; this is coherent for project work but depends on the platform enforcing sandboxing and the developer following the stated constraints. The instructions are otherwise explicit and scoped to project management tasks.
Install Mechanism
No install spec in the registry (instruction-only). README shows optional GitHub clone or downloading from a GitHub archive — both are typical and come from a known host (github.com). No downloads from obscure or shortener URLs and nothing writes arbitrary binaries to unexpected locations in the manifest.
Credentials
No required environment variables, no primary credential, and no config paths are requested. The skill declares only workspace file access and session-spawning permissions, which are proportionate for coordinating project tasks. Archiving/transcript handling is delegated to an explicit dependency (archive-project).
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request permanent/global privileges or attempt to modify other skills' configs. Autonomous invocation (model invocation) is allowed by default but is not combined with other high-risk flags.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install project-coordinator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/project-coordinator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.13
- Removed the "Tools" section for project-coordinator-start (slash command syntax and example).
- No command-dispatch metadata or slash-trigger documentation in the new version.
- All other core documentation, architecture, and usage instructions remain unchanged.
v1.0.12
- Updated version number to 1.0.12 in SKILL.md.
- Removed the "Option 3: Copy from local workspace (this machine)" section from installation instructions.
v1.0.11
- Added installation instructions for ClawhHub CLI, GitHub clone/zip, and local copy.
- Minor metadata changes: bumped version to 1.0.11, reordered SKILL.md fields.
- No functional changes to pattern, usage, or permissions.
v1.0.10
- Switched to a least-privilege design: Project Coordinator no longer reads session transcript files directly.
- All transcript reading, sanitization, and archiving is now delegated to a dedicated archive-subagent using the archive-project skill.
- Removed permissions related to reading session transcripts and executing sanitization scripts in the main Coordinator.
- Updated configPaths to empty; Coordinator does not require direct transcript access.
- Updated documentation for revised archiving workflow and security boundaries.
v1.0.9
- Added explicit dependency on the archive-project skill.
- Declared configPaths for session archive access.
- Updated permissions to allow reading session transcripts (with user approval) and executing the archive-project sanitization script during archiving.
- Clarified archive step: transcript files are only accessible for sanitization with user approval.
- No functional changes to project coordination flow.
v1.0.8
- Switched to using the archive-project skill’s sanitization script for archiving project transcripts.
- Updated instructions and documentation to reference the central transcript redaction process, covering all major secret types.
- Incremented version to 1.0.8.
v1.0.7
- Version bump from 1.0.4 to 1.0.7
- Added homepage URL in metadata
- Clarified transcript file paths for archiving (now uses session key subdirectory)
- Documented subagent sandboxing and security restrictions
- No changes to code logic; SKILL.md documentation updates only
v1.0.6
- Added a configPaths section to the manifest, documenting how to override the default transcript save location via SESSION_TRANSCRIPT_PATH.
- Improved the transcript file sanitization code to cover more credential and secret patterns before archiving.
- No behavioral changes to existing functionality.
v1.0.5
- Added tool-based activation with explicit command pattern for starting new projects (support for `//start ...` syntax).
- Documented the new `project-coordinator-start` tool, including usage instructions and input details.
- Clarified trigger conditions to include the slash command workflow.
- Updated manifest section with `command-dispatch` and `command-tool` fields.
- No functional changes outside the update to documentation (SKILL.md) to reflect new activation and usage.
v1.0.4
- Updated manifest to version 1.0.4 with adjusted permissions and removed session transcript path config.
- Clarified that the Coordinator can now only read its own session transcripts, not others.
- Detailed secure transcript archiving: added explicit sanitization steps and required user approval before deletion.
- Removed discussion of the separate "archive-project" skill; archive instructions are now self-contained.
- Revised documentation to reflect OpenClaw platform constraints on session isolation and transcript access.
v1.0.3
## project-coordinator 1.0.3
- Clarified archiving instructions in SKILL.md: session file deletion now explicitly requires user approval before removing transcript files from disk.
- Updated language to avoid suggesting any form of automatic deletion; archiving must use standard procedures and always get human confirmation.
- No functional or code changes—documentation only.
v1.0.2
- Updated to version 1.0.2 with expanded manifest and enhanced configuration details.
- Added configurable path for session transcript storage via environment variable.
- Clarified and strengthened project archiving procedures, including mandatory credential sanitization and explicit user approval for file deletion.
- Improved documentation on trigger conditions and recommended tool usage.
- No changes to core project coordination architecture or execution flow.
v1.0.1
Version 1.0.1
- No file changes detected.
- No changes to functionality, documentation, or configuration.
v1.0.0
- Initial release of the Project Coordinator skill.
- Enables structured multi-agent project execution using isolated Coordinator sessions.
- Supports parallel subagent execution under a dedicated Coordinator for each project.
- Ensures efficient token usage by isolating project sessions; main session remains lightweight.
- Adds clear session management, tool usage guidelines, and project archiving procedures.
