Open Dynamic Workflows

Workflows

Plan, orchestrate, and adversarially verify parallel AI coding agents — a dynamic multi-agent workflow engine.

Open Dynamic Workflows (OpenClaw)

Run dynamic, multi-agent workflows from OpenClaw via the local Open Dynamic Workflows (ODW) daemon. ODW plans a task, orchestrates parallel agents, and adversarially verifies their output before it lands. Bring your own model (Anthropic, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or local Ollama).

When to use

  • A task that splits into many independent subtasks worth running in parallel.
  • Anything that should be verified (adversarial critics) before you trust it.
  • Work you want to share across OpenClaw, OpenCode, Codex, Antigravity, and VS Code through one orchestration layer.

Step 0 — is the daemon up?

node scripts/daemon-bridge.js --check
  • Exit 0 → daemon healthy; use the daemon path below.
  • Exit 1 → install + start it (it is not on npm yet):
git clone https://github.com/Suraj1235/open-dynamic-workflows
cd open-dynamic-workflows && npm install && npm run setup
odw-daemon start

Daemon path

  1. Plannode scripts/daemon-bridge.js plan "<task>" prints a JSON plan: task graph, topology, roles, hard limits, cost/time estimate.
  2. Confirm — summarize topology / agent count / estimate before doing anything beyond read-only work.
  3. Executenode scripts/daemon-bridge.js exec plan.json returns a wf_... id; the daemon runs the sandboxed script with concurrent agents, SQLite checkpoints, crash-resume, and a budget hard-stop.
  4. Reportnode scripts/daemon-bridge.js result <wf_id> blocks until done; relay the synthesized result.

Safety

  • Read-only tools are auto-approved; file writes, shell, and git are approval-gated by ODW's config — never mutate without authorization.
  • Model provider keys live in the environment / ~/.odw/config.json, never in prompts or source.
  • Respect the per-workflow token/cost budget.

Notes

Same canonical skill as the Codex/Antigravity adapters — only the install path differs. The bundled scripts/daemon-bridge.js is a zero-dependency CommonJS bridge to the daemon's local HTTP API.
