ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
The skill appears to create OpenClaw agents as advertised, but it persistently changes your OpenClaw setup and injects generated operating instructions into new independent agents without clear review, validation, or cleanup safeguards.
Install only if you intentionally want your main agent to create persistent peer agents. Before running it, review the generated agent name and full persona prompt, back up ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, avoid putting secrets in the persona text, and verify that any Windows helper script is present and reviewed.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
A mistaken or overly broad request could leave a new independent agent with unwanted behavior in your OpenClaw environment.
The skill is explicitly designed to create persistent peer agents. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but the artifacts do not describe confirmation, cleanup, or containment controls for those new agents.
automatically create, configure, and initialize other **independent Agents (not sub-agents)**
Require the assistant to show the agent ID, display name, workspace path, and full persona prompt before creation, and provide a documented undo/removal process.
If the generated persona contains unsafe, overly broad, or prompt-injection-like instructions, those instructions may persist in the new agent and affect future work.
The generated persona is sent to the new agent as identity and operating instructions, creating persistent behavioral context from generated/user-derived text without a required review step.
FULL_MESSAGE=$(printf 'Remember your identity and operating instructions:\n%s' "$PERSONA")
Review and sanitize the generated identity prompt before injection, avoid secrets in persona text, and add guardrails that reject unsafe or policy-bypassing instructions.
On Windows, the skill may fail or depend on a script that was not included for review.
The skill instructs Windows users to run a PowerShell helper, but the supplied manifest contains no create_agent.ps1 file. That execution path is therefore unreviewed or nonfunctional, and ExecutionPolicy Bypass increases the importance of provenance.
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "{baseDir}/create_agent.ps1"Do not use the Windows path unless the PowerShell script is supplied, reviewed, and matches the documented behavior; declare all required binaries and files in metadata.
A malformed or unexpected agent ID could create unintended workspace paths or cause unexpected OpenClaw CLI behavior.
The script uses the generated agent ID directly in an OpenClaw CLI call and workspace path. SKILL.md describes the ID as snake_case, but the script itself does not enforce that constraint.
AGENT_ID=$1
WORKSPACE_DIR="$HOME/.openclaw/workspace-${AGENT_ID}"
openclaw agents add "${AGENT_ID}" --workspace "${WORKSPACE_DIR}"Validate agent IDs with a strict allowlist such as ^[a-z][a-z0-9_]{0,63}$ before using them in paths or CLI commands.
