AGI Farm

Interactive setup wizard that creates a fully working multi-agent AI team on OpenClaw. One command bootstraps agents, SOUL.md personas, comms infrastructure (inboxes/outboxes/broadcast), cron jobs, auto-dispatcher (HITL + rate-limit backoff + dependency checking), and a portable GitHub bundle — all customized to team name, size (3/5/11 agents), domain, and frameworks (autogen/crewai/langgraph). Includes a React + SSE live ops dashboard with file-watcher (~350ms push latency) and persistent macOS LaunchAgent. Model-selection guidance built in. Commands: setup | status | rebuild | export | dashboard | dispatch

agi-farm

Builds a complete multi-agent AI team on OpenClaw. One wizard, full team.

Commands

Command	What it does
`/agi-farm setup`	Full wizard — agents, workspace, crons, bundle, GitHub
`/agi-farm status`	Team health: agents, tasks, cron status
`/agi-farm rebuild`	Regenerate workspace from existing bundle (preserves edits)
`/agi-farm export`	Push bundle to GitHub
`/agi-farm dashboard`	Launch live ops room — see references/dashboard.md
`/agi-farm dispatch`	Run auto-dispatcher — see scripts/auto-dispatch.py

`/agi-farm setup`

Ask one question at a time. Do not proceed until confirmed.

Step 1 — Team name

"What should we call your team? (e.g. NovaCorp, TradingDesk — default: MyTeam)"

Store as TEAM_NAME.

Step 2 — Orchestrator name

"What's your orchestrator's name? (default: Cooper)"

Store as ORCHESTRATOR_NAME.

Step 3 — Team size

"How many agents? 3 — Minimal: Orchestrator + Researcher + Builder 5 — Standard: adds QA + Content 11 — Full stack: complete AGI system (recommended)"

Store as PRESET.

Step 3.5 — Domain

"What domain? software / trading / research / general (default) / custom"

If custom: ask for one-phrase description. Store as DOMAIN.

Step 3.6 — Custom agents (PRESET 3 or 5 only)

"Add a custom agent? (yes/no, default: no)"

If yes, collect per agent: id, name, emoji, role, goal. Max 3 custom agents. Append to roster in Step 7 with "template": "generic".

Step 4 — Frameworks

"Collaboration frameworks? autogen / crewai / langgraph / all / none"

Store as FRAMEWORKS list. all → ["autogen", "crewai", "langgraph"].

Step 5 — GitHub

"Create a GitHub repo for the bundle? yes / no"

Store as CREATE_GITHUB.

Step 6 — Confirm

Show summary, ask "Shall I proceed? (yes/no)". If no → restart Step 1.

Step 7 — Write `team.json`

bash

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/agi-farm-bundle/
openclaw agents list --json   # use output to assign appropriate models per role

Use the openclaw agents list output to assign each agent a model appropriate for its role. Write resolved model strings directly into the "model" fields.

Model selection cheat sheet (based on openclaw agents list --json output):

Role	Recommended tier	Why
Orchestrator	High-capability (e.g. `sonnet`, `opus`)	Needs broad reasoning, delegation judgment
Solution Architect / Researcher	High-capability	Deep analysis + design
Implementation Engineer	Mid-tier (e.g. `glm-5`, `sonnet`)	Fast code gen; cost-efficiency matters
Debugger	High-capability (e.g. `opus`)	Root-cause analysis benefits from deep reasoning
Business Analyst / Knowledge	Mid-high (e.g. `gemini-2.0-pro-exp`)	Long-context research tasks
QA Engineer	Fast/cheap (e.g. `glm-4.7-flash`)	High volume, pattern-matching checks
Content / Multimodal	Multimodal-capable (e.g. `gemini-2.0-pro-exp`)	Vision + rich generation
R&D / Process Improvement	High-capability	Creative + structured experimentation

Tip: assign opus or sonnet to roles that make decisions; use flash/glm-4.7-flash for high-frequency reviewers to manage cost.

]

Step 8 — Generate workspace files

bash

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/agi-farm/generate.py \
  --team-json ~/.openclaw/workspace/agi-farm-bundle/team.json \
  --output ~/.openclaw/workspace/ \
  --all-agents --shared --bundle

Step 9 — Create OpenClaw agents

For each agent except main (skip if already exists):

bash

openclaw agents add \
  --agent <id> --name "<name>" --emoji "<emoji>" \
  --model "<model>" \
  --workspace "~/.openclaw/workspace/agents-workspaces/<workspace>"

Use agent["model"] from team.json directly.

Step 10 — Register cron jobs

bash

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/agi-farm/scripts/register-crons.py \
  --team-json ~/.openclaw/workspace/agi-farm-bundle/team.json

Timezone is read automatically from OpenClaw config. Skips any cron that already exists.

Step 11 — Install frameworks

For each framework in FRAMEWORKS:

bash

if [ ! -d ~/.openclaw/skills/<fw>-collab ]; then
  TMP=$(mktemp -d)
  git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse \
    https://github.com/oabdelmaksoud/openclaw-skills.git "$TMP"
  cd "$TMP" && git sparse-checkout set <fw>-collab
  cp -r <fw>-collab ~/.openclaw/skills/ && rm -rf "$TMP"
fi
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/<fw>-collab/build_agents.py --force 2>/dev/null || true

Step 12 — GitHub (if chosen)

bash

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/agi-farm-bundle
git init -b main && git add . && git commit -m "feat: <TEAM_NAME> AGI farm"
gh repo create agi-farm-<TEAM_NAME_LOWER> --public --source . --remote origin --push

Step 13 — Commit workspace

bash

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace
git add -A && git commit -m "feat: <TEAM_NAME> AGI team — agi-farm setup complete"

Step 14 — Initialize registries + health check

bash

# Write TASKS.json and AGENT_STATUS.json
python3 - << 'EOF'
import json
from pathlib import Path
ws   = Path.home() / ".openclaw/workspace"
team = json.loads((ws / "agi-farm-bundle/team.json").read_text())
(ws / "TASKS.json").write_text("[]")
(ws / "AGENT_STATUS.json").write_text(json.dumps(
    {a["id"]: {"status": "available", "name": a["name"]} for a in team["agents"]}, indent=2))
print("✅ registries written")
EOF

# Health check
AGENTS=$(openclaw agents list --json 2>/dev/null | python3 -c "import json,sys; print(len(json.load(sys.stdin)))" || echo 0)
CRONS=$(openclaw cron list 2>/dev/null | grep -c "<TEAM_NAME_LOWER>" || echo 0)
[ -d ~/.openclaw/workspace/comms/inboxes ] && echo "✅ comms OK" || echo "❌ comms missing"
[ -f ~/.openclaw/workspace/TASKS.json ]    && echo "✅ TASKS.json OK" || echo "❌ TASKS.json missing"
echo "✅ Agents: $AGENTS | Crons: $CRONS"

Step 15 — Done

text

✅ <TEAM_NAME> AGI team is live!
Agents   : <PRESET> (<AGENT_NAMES_LIST>)
Workspace: ~/.openclaw/workspace/
Bundle   : ~/.openclaw/workspace/agi-farm-bundle/
GitHub   : <URL if created>

`/agi-farm status`

bash

openclaw agents list --json | python3 -c "

for a in json.load(sys.stdin):
    print(f'  {a.get(\"identityEmoji\",\"🤖\")} {a.get(\"identityName\",a[\"id\"])}: {a.get(\"model\",\"?\")}')
"
python3 -c "
import json
from pathlib import Path
ws = Path.home() / '.openclaw/workspace'
tasks = json.loads((ws/'TASKS.json').read_text()) if (ws/'TASKS.json').exists() else []
t = [t for t in tasks if isinstance(t,dict)]
print(f'  Tasks: {len(t)} total · {sum(1 for x in t if x.get(\"status\")==\"pending\")} pending · {sum(1 for x in t if x.get(\"status\")==\"needs_human_decision\")} HITL')
"
openclaw cron list 2>/dev/null | head -15

`/agi-farm rebuild`

bash

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/agi-farm/generate.py \
  --team-json ~/.openclaw/workspace/agi-farm-bundle/team.json \
  --output ~/.openclaw/workspace/ \
  --all-agents --shared --no-overwrite

--no-overwrite skips files that already exist, preserving manual edits. Add --force (remove --no-overwrite) to overwrite everything.

`/agi-farm export`

bash

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/agi-farm-bundle
git add -A
git commit -m "export: $(date +%Y-%m-%d)" 2>/dev/null || echo "Nothing to commit"
git push 2>/dev/null || echo "No remote — run /agi-farm setup first"

`/agi-farm dashboard`

React + SSE ops room. File-watcher pushes live data to the browser in ~350ms on any workspace .json or .md change. Runs as a persistent macOS LaunchAgent — always on, auto-restarts on crash.

bash

# Dry-run (preview only)
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/agi-farm/scripts/auto-dispatch.py

# Execute
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/agi-farm/scripts/auto-dispatch.py --execute

Fires agent sessions for pending tasks, handles HITL notifications, stale task resets, rate-limit backoff, and dependency checking. Cron (every 1 min):

bash

* * * * * python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/agi-farm/scripts/auto-dispatch.py --execute \
            >> ~/.openclaw/workspace/logs/auto-dispatch.log 2>&1

Troubleshooting

Setup issues

Symptom	Fix
`generate.py` fails with `ModuleNotFoundError`	Run `pip3 install jinja2`
`openclaw agents add` says agent already exists	Safe to ignore — skip that agent
`gh repo create` fails	Run `gh auth login` first
Cron registration shows 0 crons added	Run `openclaw cron list` to check for duplicates; use `--force` flag on re-register
`git commit` fails in Step 13	Run `git config --global user.email` and set name/email first

Runtime issues

Symptom	Fix
Auto-dispatcher fires but agents don't respond	Check `logs/auto-dispatch.log`; verify `openclaw agents list` shows agents
Dashboard shows stale data	Restart LaunchAgent: `launchctl stop ai.coopercorp.dashboard && launchctl start ai.coopercorp.dashboard`
TASKS.json parse error	Validate JSON: `python3 -m json.tool ~/.openclaw/workspace/TASKS.json`
Agent stuck >30 min	Check broadcast.md for `[BLOCKED]` tags; reassign task manually
Rate-limit backoff too aggressive	Edit `RATE_LIMIT_BACKOFF_MIN` in `scripts/auto-dispatch.py` (default: 10 min)
`openclaw` not found in cron	Set `OPENCLAW_BIN=/path/to/openclaw` in the cron environment, or add `PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH`
