Agent Orchestrator 🐙

Multi-agent collaboration and task orchestration for OpenClaw.

When a single agent isn't enough — orchestrate a team.

What It Does

Task Decomposition:

• Analyzes complex tasks
• Breaks them into independent sub-tasks
• Identifies dependencies and parallelization opportunities

Agent Coordination:

• Spawns sub-agents with specific instructions
• Manages concurrent execution
• Handles inter-agent communication
• Monitors progress and health

Result Synthesis:

• Collects results from all sub-agents
• Resolves conflicts and inconsistencies
• Synthesizes final deliverable
• Provides execution summary

When to Use

Trigger Phrases:

• "Break this down and have multiple agents work on it"
• "Coordinate several agents to..."
• "Parallelize this task"
• "Have agents collaborate on..."
• "Orchestrate a team to..."
• "Decompose and distribute..."

Use Cases:

1. Research Projects - Different agents research different aspects
2. Code Reviews - Multiple agents review different files/modules
3. Data Analysis - Parallel analysis of different datasets
4. Content Creation - Agents write different sections, then synthesize
5. Testing - Parallel test execution across scenarios
6. Complex Workflows - Multi-step processes with dependencies

Quick Start

Basic Usage

Orchestrate this: Research the top 5 AI frameworks and compare their features, performance, and community support.

The orchestrator will:

1. Decompose into sub-tasks (one per framework)
2. Spawn 5 sub-agents
3. Each agent researches one framework
4. Synthesize comparison report

Advanced Usage

Orchestrate with options:
- Task: Analyze our Q4 sales data
- Agents: 4 (by region: North/South/East/West)
- Parallel: true
- Synthesis: consolidated_report

Examples

Example 1: Market Research

Task: Research the competitive landscape for project management software

Decomposition:
- Agent 1: Analyze Asana features and pricing
- Agent 2: Analyze Monday.com features and pricing
- Agent 3: Analyze Notion features and pricing
- Agent 4: Analyze ClickUp features and pricing
- Agent 5: Analyze emerging competitors

Synthesis: Comparative analysis report with recommendations

Example 2: Code Review

Task: Review the entire codebase for security vulnerabilities

Decomposition:
- Agent 1: Review authentication module
- Agent 2: Review API endpoints
- Agent 3: Review database queries
- Agent 4: Review file handling
- Agent 5: Review third-party dependencies

Synthesis: Security audit report with prioritized fixes

Example 3: Content Creation

Task: Write a comprehensive guide to OpenClaw skills

Decomposition:
- Agent 1: Introduction and setup
- Agent 2: Basic skill structure
- Agent 3: Advanced patterns
- Agent 4: Best practices
- Agent 5: Troubleshooting

Synthesis: Complete guide with consistent voice and formatting

Implementation Details

Task Decomposition Algorithm

1. Analyze the main task for scope and complexity
2. Identify natural breakpoints and independent components
3. Estimate effort for each component
4. Group related components into sub-tasks
5. Determine dependencies between sub-tasks
6. Output structured task list with metadata

Sub-Agent Spawning

{
  "runtime": "subagent",
  "mode": "run",
  "task": "<specific sub-task>",
  "timeoutSeconds": 300,
  "streamTo": "parent"
}

Progress Tracking

• Track each sub-agent's status: pending → running → completed/failed
• Monitor execution time
• Handle timeouts and retries
• Report progress to main session

Conflict Resolution

When sub-agents produce conflicting results:

1. Flag the conflict
2. Request clarification from each agent
3. Escalate to human if unresolved
4. Document the resolution

Error Handling

Sub-Agent Failures

Synthesis Failures

Best Practices

Do's

✅ Clear task boundaries - Each sub-task should be self-contained ✅ Explicit success criteria - Define what "done" looks like ✅ Reasonable timeouts - Account for complexity ✅ Progressive synthesis - Synthesize as results arrive ✅ Human escalation - Know when to involve the user

Don'ts

❌ Over-parallelize - Too many agents creates coordination overhead ❌ Vague instructions - Sub-agents need clear, specific tasks ❌ Ignore dependencies - Sequential tasks must respect order ❌ Blind synthesis - Review before merging conflicting results ❌ No fallback - Always have a plan B for failures

Limitations

• Context limits - Each sub-agent has independent context
• Coordination overhead - More agents = more management
• Cost - Multiple agents = higher token usage
• Complexity - Debugging multi-agent flows is harder

Troubleshooting

Problem: Sub-agents produce inconsistent results

Solution:

1. Standardize the output format in task instructions
2. Add validation step before synthesis
3. Use compare synthesis mode to highlight differences

Problem: Task takes too long

Solution:

1. Increase parallelization
2. Reduce scope per agent
3. Set aggressive timeouts with retries

Problem: Results are too fragmented

Solution:

1. Use consolidate synthesis mode
2. Add explicit integration step
3. Assign one agent to "editor" role
