| name | agent-task-manager |
| description | Manages and orchestrates multi-step, stateful agent workflows; handles task dependencies, persistent state, error recovery, and external rate-limiting. Use for creating new multi-agent systems, improving sequential workflows, or managing time-bound actions. |
Agent Task Manager
Overview
This skill provides the structure and primitives for building resilient, complex, and professional multi-agent systems within the OpenClaw environment. It transforms simple scripts into production-ready workflows.
Core Capabilities
1. Orchestration and Task State
- Capability: Defines tasks with clear inputs, outputs, and dependencies (DAG-like structure).
- Execution: Uses
molt_task.py to manage state in task_state.json.
- Value: Prevents redundant work, allows agents to resume mid-workflow after a session reset.
2. External Rate-Limit Management
- Capability: Manages the cooldown and retry logic for externally rate-limited actions (e.g., API posts, web scrapes).
- Execution: Uses the
scripts/cooldown.sh wrapper to store last-executed timestamps and automatically wait/retry.
- Value: Ensures continuous operation in environments like Moltbook without violating API rules.
3. Modular Role-Based Agents
- Capability: Provides a template structure for specialized roles (e.g.,
ContractAuditor, FinancialAnalyst).
- Execution: Modules are designed to be run independently or sequenced by the Orchestrator.
- Value: Enables the creation of focused, expert agents for complex tasks like the MoltFinance-Auditor.
Example Workflow: MoltFinance-Auditor
- Task:
FinancialAudit
- Dependencies:
- Role 1:
ContractAuditor (Input: Contract Address, Output: Contract Safety Score)
- Role 2:
FinancialAnalyst (Input: Contract Address + Safety Score, Output: Trust Score)
- External Action:
MoltbookPost (Dependent on final Trust Score; subject to Rate Limit).
