Multi-Agent Dev Team

2-agent collaborative software development workflow for OpenClaw

Build complete software projects using AI agents that work together like a real development team.

What is this?

The Multi-Agent Dev Team skill provides a PM (Project Manager) and Dev (Developer) agent that collaborate to build software projects. You describe what you want, the PM breaks it down into tasks, and the Dev agent implements them.

Perfect for:

  • Landing pages and websites
  • Small web applications
  • Prototypes and MVPs
  • Code generation projects
  • Learning multi-agent workflows

Quick Start

1. Install the skill

npx clawhub install multi-agent-dev-team

2. Set up agents

The skill includes two pre-configured agents:

PM Agent (multi-agent-pm)

  • Handles project planning
  • Coordinates the Dev agent
  • Reports progress to you

Dev Agent (multi-agent-dev)

  • Implements code
  • Tests functionality
  • Commits to Git

3. Configure in ~/.openclaw/config.yaml

agents:
  multi-agent-pm:
    soul: ~/.openclaw/skills/multi-agent-dev-team/agents/pm-agent/SOUL.md
    model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929  # or your preferred model
    
  multi-agent-dev:
    soul: ~/.openclaw/skills/multi-agent-dev-team/agents/dev-agent/SOUL.md
    model: google/gemini-2.5-flash  # faster for code generation

4. Start your PM agent

openclaw chat --agent multi-agent-pm

Usage Example

Building a Landing Page

You (Director):

Build me a Next.js landing page with hero section, features, and contact form. Use Tailwind CSS and TypeScript.

PM Agent:

I'll break this down into a clear task for the Dev agent. Starting now...

[Spawns Dev agent with detailed spec]

Dev agent is working on the project. I'll monitor progress and report back when complete.

PM Agent (later):

✅ Landing page completed!

Deliverables:

  • Next.js 14+ App Router project
  • Hero, Features, Contact sections
  • Fully responsive design
  • TypeScript + Tailwind CSS
  • Git repository initialized

Location: ~/projects/my-landing-page/

Ready for deployment. Would you like me to deploy to Vercel?

How It Works

Architecture

You (Director)
    ↓
PM Agent (Orchestrator)
    ↓
Dev Agent (Implementer)
    ↓
Working Code

Workflow

  1. You describe your project to the PM agent
  2. PM creates a structured task specification
  3. PM spawns Dev agent with the spec
  4. Dev implements the code
  5. PM reviews the deliverables
  6. PM reports completion (or requests revisions)
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 if needed (max 3 iterations)

Task Specification Format

The PM agent uses this template to communicate with Dev:

## Project: [NAME]
## Task: [ACTION]

## Requirements:
1. [Requirement 1]
2. [Requirement 2]

## Technical Constraints:
- [Constraint 1]
- [Constraint 2]

## Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] [Criterion 1]
- [ ] [Criterion 2]

## Deliverables:
- [Deliverable 1]
- [Deliverable 2]

Supported Project Types

✅ Works Great

  • Next.js landing pages & apps
  • React components & SPAs
  • Node.js scripts & APIs
  • TypeScript projects
  • Static sites (HTML/CSS/JS)
  • Documentation sites

⚠️ Limited Support

  • Complex backend systems (use Pro version)
  • Real-time applications
  • Multi-service architectures
  • Mobile apps

❌ Not Recommended

  • Large enterprise systems
  • Mission-critical production code without human review
  • Projects requiring specialized agents (use Pro version)

Configuration Options

Agent Models

PM Agent (orchestration):

  • anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 - Best reasoning
  • google/gemini-2.5-flash - Fast & efficient
  • openai/gpt-4o - Balanced

Dev Agent (code generation):

  • google/gemini-2.5-flash - Fast iteration (recommended)
  • anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 - Higher quality
  • openai/gpt-4o-mini - Budget-friendly

Workspace Configuration

Set a dedicated workspace for projects:

agents:
  multi-agent-pm:
    soul: ~/.openclaw/skills/multi-agent-dev-team/agents/pm-agent/SOUL.md
    model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
    cwd: ~/dev-projects  # All projects created here

Best Practices

1. Start Small

Don't ask for everything at once. Start with an MVP:

❌ Bad:

Build a full e-commerce site with user auth, payments, admin dashboard, and inventory management.

✅ Good:

Build a simple product landing page with hero, features, and signup form.

2. Be Specific

The more specific your requirements, the better the result:

❌ Vague:

Make a nice website.

✅ Specific:

Create a Next.js landing page with:

  • Hero section with CTA button
  • 3-column feature grid
  • Contact form with email validation
  • Tailwind CSS styling
  • Dark mode support

3. Iterate Incrementally

Build in phases:

Phase 1: Basic structure Phase 2: Add features Phase 3: Polish & deploy

4. Review Output

Always review the generated code before deploying. The agents are good, but human oversight is important.

5. Provide Examples

If you have a specific style or pattern in mind, share examples:

Build a landing page similar to https://example.com, but for [your product].

Troubleshooting

"Dev agent didn't complete the task"

Check:

  1. Was the task specification clear?
  2. Are required tools available (Node.js, Git)?
  3. Did the agent hit resource limits?

Solution:

  • Simplify the task
  • Check PM agent logs via sessions_history
  • Try again with clearer requirements

"Code doesn't work"

Check:

  1. Dependencies installed? (npm install)
  2. Environment variables set?
  3. Correct Node.js version?

Solution:

  • Ask PM agent: "The code has errors. Please review and fix."
  • The PM will spawn Dev again for corrections

"Task took too long"

Solutions:

  • Break into smaller tasks
  • Use faster model for Dev agent (gemini-2.5-flash)
  • Simplify requirements

Examples

Example 1: Simple Landing Page

You: Build a landing page for a SaaS product called "TaskFlow". 
Include hero, features (3 cards), and pricing table. Use Next.js 
and Tailwind CSS.

PM: Working on it... 
[2 minutes later]
PM: ✅ TaskFlow landing page complete! Ready for deployment.

Example 2: React Component Library

You: Create a reusable Button component library with variants 
(primary, secondary, outline) and sizes (sm, md, lg). Use 
TypeScript and class-variance-authority.

PM: Task received. Spawning Dev agent...
[3 minutes later]
PM: ✅ Button component library complete with Storybook examples.

Example 3: API Integration

You: Build a Next.js app that fetches and displays GitHub user 
profiles. Include search functionality and responsive cards.

PM: Starting development...
[4 minutes later]
PM: ✅ GitHub profile viewer complete with search and error handling.
