OpenClaw Swarm

Enable advanced subagent orchestration with context sharing, state management, parallel tasks, and completion notifications using OpenClaw Swarm features.

Use OpenClaw Swarm features for advanced subagent orchestration.

About

This skill provides access to OpenClaw Swarm - a fork of OpenClaw with enhanced subagent orchestration:

• Fork: https://github.com/Heldinhow/openclaw-swarm
• Docs: SWARM.md

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Spawning subagents with context sharing
• Coordinating multiple subagents
• Sharing state between subagents
• Running parallel tasks

Tools Available

1. sessions_spawn with contextSharing

Share parent session context with subagents:

{
  "sessions_spawn": {
    "label": "my-task",
    "task": "Do something",
    "contextSharing": "recent"
  }
}

Values:

• none - No context
• summary - Compressed summary
• recent - Last messages
• full - Complete history

2. context_store

Share data between subagents:

// Write
{ "context_store": { "action": "set", "namespace": "project", "key": "data", "value": {...} } }

// Read
{ "context_store": { "action": "get", "namespace": "project", "key": "data" } }

Actions: get, set, delete, list, subscribe, broadcast

3. context_publish

Notify when subagent completes:

{ "context_publish": {
    "action": "publish",
    "eventType": "task_complete",
    "target": "orchestrator",
    "data": { "result": "..." }
  }
}

4. parallel_spawn

Run multiple subagents in parallel:

{ "parallel_spawn": {
    "tasks": [
      { "label": "task1", "task": "Do this" },
      { "label": "task2", "task": "Do that" }
    ],
    "wait": "all"
  }
}

Wait strategies:

• all - Wait for all
• any - Return on first, others continue
• race - Return on first

Patterns

Parallel Research

{
  "parallel_spawn": {
    "tasks": [
      { "label": "web-search", "task": "Search X" },
      { "label": "docs-search", "task": "Find docs about X" }
    ],
    "wait": "all"
  }
}

Chain Workflow

1. First subagent writes to context_store
2. Second subagent reads from context_store
3. Both notify via context_publish

Context Pipeline

{
  "sessions_spawn": {
    "label": "processor",
    "task": "Process data",
    "contextSharing": "recent"
  }
}

Auto-Announce

Subagents automatically announce completion:

✅ Sub-agent completed: label
   task: ...
   result: ...
   runtime: Xs

No polling needed!
