Use OpenClaw Swarm features for advanced subagent orchestration.

About

This skill provides access to OpenClaw Swarm - a fork of OpenClaw with enhanced subagent orchestration:

• Fork: https://github.com/Heldinhow/openclaw-swarm
• Docs: SWARM.md

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Spawning subagents with context sharing
• Coordinating multiple subagents
• Sharing state between subagents
• Running parallel tasks

Tools Available

1. sessions_spawn with contextSharing

Share parent session context with subagents:

{
  "sessions_spawn": {
    "label": "my-task",
    "task": "Do something",
    "contextSharing": "recent"
  }
}

Values:

• none - No context
• summary - Compressed summary
• recent - Last messages
• full - Complete history

2. context_store

Share data between subagents:

// Write
{ "context_store": { "action": "set", "namespace": "project", "key": "data", "value": {...} } }

// Read
{ "context_store": { "action": "get", "namespace": "project", "key": "data" } }

Actions: get, set, delete, list, subscribe, broadcast

3. context_publish

Notify when subagent completes:

{ "context_publish": {
    "action": "publish",
    "eventType": "task_complete",
    "target": "orchestrator",
    "data": { "result": "..." }
  }
}

4. parallel_spawn

Run multiple subagents in parallel:

{ "parallel_spawn": {
    "tasks": [
      { "label": "task1", "task": "Do this" },
      { "label": "task2", "task": "Do that" }
    ],
    "wait": "all"
  }
}

Wait strategies:

• all - Wait for all
• any - Return on first, others continue
• race - Return on first

Patterns

Parallel Research

{
  "parallel_spawn": {
    "tasks": [
      { "label": "web-search", "task": "Search X" },
      { "label": "docs-search", "task": "Find docs about X" }
    ],
    "wait": "all"
  }
}

Chain Workflow

1. First subagent writes to context_store
2. Second subagent reads from context_store
3. Both notify via context_publish

Context Pipeline

{
  "sessions_spawn": {
    "label": "processor",
    "task": "Process data",
    "contextSharing": "recent"
  }
}

Auto-Announce

Subagents automatically announce completion:

✅ Sub-agent completed: label
   task: ...
   result: ...
   runtime: Xs

No polling needed!
