# Claw Control - Agent Operating System (v2)

Complete setup for AI agent coordination with real-time Kanban dashboard, featuring autonomous task discovery, multi-agent collaboration, and human approval gates.

## What This Skill Does

1. **Deploy Claw Control** - Three paths: one-click, bot-assisted, or fully automated
2. **Theme your team** - Pick a series (DBZ, One Piece, Marvel, etc.)
3. **Enforce workflow** - ALL tasks go through the board, no exceptions
4. **Configure agent behavior** - Update AGENTS.md and SOUL.md
5. **Setup browser** - Required for autonomous actions
6. **Setup GitHub** - Enable autonomous deployments
7. **Enhance memory** - Integrate Supermemory and QMD

## 🚀 v2 Features Overview

Claw Control v2 includes powerful new capabilities for multi-agent orchestration:

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Task Comments** | Collaborate on tasks with POST/GET /api/tasks/:id/comments |
| **Task Context** | Rich context field for passing additional data to agents |
| **Task Deliverables** | deliverable_type + deliverable_content for concrete outputs |
| **Agent Heartbeat Polling** | Autonomous task discovery via PUT /api/agents/:id/heartbeat |
| **Human Approval Gates** | requires_approval, approved_at, approved_by for quality control |
| **Multi-Agent Assignment** | Multiple agents can work on one task with roles (lead/contributor/reviewer) |
| **Task Subtasks** | Break down complex tasks with POST/GET/PUT/DELETE /api/tasks/:id/subtasks |

### Jarvis Multi-Agent Pattern (Best Practices)

The Jarvis pattern enables truly autonomous multi-agent systems:

- **15-min Heartbeat Polling**: Each agent polls every 15 minutes to discover and claim tasks
- **Hierarchical Structure**: Coordinator → Specialists (coordinator delegates, specialists execute)
- **Self-Discovery**: Agents query the board for unassigned tasks and claim them autonomously
- **Collaborative Tasks**: Multiple agents can contribute to a single task
- **Deliverable-First**: Every task MUST have a clear deliverable

## ⚠️ CRITICAL: The Golden Rules

**After setup, you MUST follow these rules EVERY TIME:**

### Before Doing ANY Work:
1. **Create a task on Mission Control** - Even for small things
2. **Spawn a sub-agent** - Use `sessions_spawn` to delegate
3. **Never do the work yourself** - Coordinator coordinates, agents execute

### The Workflow (No Exceptions):
```
User Request → Create Task → Spawn Agent → Agent Works → Review → Complete
```

### If You Catch Yourself Working:
**STOP!** Ask: "Did I create a task? Did I spawn an agent?"
If no → Go back and do it properly.

### If You Catch An Agent Breaking Rules:
**PAUSE** and enforce:
- Working without a task? → "Is this on the board?"
- Acting solo? → "Did you delegate/query/verify?"
- Skipping review? → "Let's check before marking complete"

**Your role is COORDINATOR.** Coordinate, review, verify, **ENFORCE**. Never execute.

### ⚠️ CRITICAL: How Subagents Work

When users ask about "agents" or "subagents", explain clearly:

**The agents are NOT just UI labels — they are REAL autonomous executors.**

- We use `sessions_spawn` to create isolated sub-agent sessions
- Each subagent runs independently with its own model & context
- They execute tasks in parallel and report back when complete
- This is actual distributed computing, not visualization

**Example:** When a user asks "Build X", we:
1. Create a task on Mission Control
2. Spawn a subagent via `sessions_spawn` 
3. Subagent executes autonomously (code, research, deployment, etc.)
4. Results report back to the main session

**Never tell users agents are "just UI representations" — they are real autonomous workers.**

### 🔒 Repo Hierarchy (For claw-control maintainers)

| Repo | Purpose | Direct Push? |
|------|---------|--------------|
| `claw-control-trip/` | Internal testing | ✅ Yes |
| `claw-control` (public) | Production OSS | ❌ PR only after internal test |

**Rule:** Test ALL changes in `claw-control-trip/` FIRST, then PR to public `claw-control`.

### 📝 Commit Message Convention

```
[#TASK_ID] Brief description

Example:
[#129] Add workflow enforcement to SKILL.md
```

If you committed without a task: **CREATE ONE RETROACTIVELY** and link it.

### 🚨 Orphan Work Protocol

If work was done without a task on Mission Control:
1. STOP and create the task NOW
2. Mark it with what was done
3. Set status to `completed`
4. Don't let it happen again

### 📢 Feed Protocol (Communication)

All significant updates go to the agent feed via `POST /api/messages`:

```bash
curl -X POST <BACKEND_URL>/api/messages \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: <API_KEY>" \
  -d '{"agent_id": 1, "message": "✅ Task #X completed: Brief summary"}'
```

**When to post:**
- ✅ Task completions
- 🚀 Major milestones  
- 🔍 Audit results
- 📦 Deployment updates
- 🚧 Blockers or questions
- 💡 Discoveries or insights

**Agent IDs (for themed teams):**
- ID 1 = Coordinator (Goku, Luffy, Tony, etc.)
- ID 2 = Backend (Vegeta, Zoro, Steve, etc.)
- IDs 3-6 = Other specialists

### 💓 Heartbeat Orphan Detection

During heartbeats, scan for work done without tasks:

```
1. Check recent git commits - do they all have [#TASK_ID]?
2. Check for PRs without linked tasks
3. Check for completed work not reflected on board
4. If orphan found → CREATE TASK RETROACTIVELY
```

**Self-Check Questions:**
- "Is this task on the board?"
- "Did I spawn an agent or am I doing it myself?"
- "Does my commit have `[#TASK_ID]` in the message?"

## Setup Flow

Walk the human through each step. Be friendly and conversational - this is a setup wizard, not a tech manual.

### Step 1: Deploy Claw Control

**First, check browser status:** `browser action=status`

Then present:

---

🦞 **Let's get Claw Control running!**

**One-click deploy:**
👉 [railway.app/deploy/claw-control](https://railway.app/deploy/claw-control?referralCode=VsZvQs)

**Or self-host:**
📦 [github.com/adarshmishra07/claw-control](https://github.com/adarshmishra07/claw-control)

---

**Already deployed?** Share your backend URL + API key (if set).

**Want me to deploy for you?**

*[If browser available:]*
> Just say "deploy for me" - I'll handle everything!

*[If no browser:]*
> I need either:
> - 🌐 **Browser access** → [Setup guide](https://docs.openclaw.ai/tools/browser)
> - 🔑 **Or a token** (GitHub OR Railway):
>   - GitHub: github.com/settings/tokens (scopes: repo, workflow)
>   - Railway: railway.app/account/tokens

---

#### Token Deployment Logic (Internal Reference)

**If user provides Railway token:**
- Deploy directly via Railway GraphQL API
- Create project, services, configure env vars, generate domains

**If user provides GitHub token:**
1. Check if browser available and user logged into Railway
2. If yes → Use browser to complete OAuth + deploy
3. If no → Guide user to sign up on Railway with GitHub, then deploy

**Railway GraphQL deployment flow:**
```graphql
# Create project
mutation { projectCreate(input: { name: "claw-control" }) { id } }

# Create service from repo
mutation { serviceCreate(input: { projectId: "$ID", name: "backend", source: { repo: "adarshmishra07/claw-control" } }) { id } }

# Generate domain
mutation { domainCreate(input: { serviceId: "$ID" }) { domain } }
```

**After deployment, collect:**
- Backend URL (e.g., https://claw-control-backend-xxx.up.railway.app)
- Frontend URL (e.g., https://claw-control-frontend-xxx.up.railway.app)
- API Key (if they set one)

---

### ⚠️ CRITICAL: Store & Test API Connection

**YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING:**

1. **Ask for the Backend URL:**
```
I need your Claw Control backend URL to connect.
Example: https://claw-control-backend-xxxx.up.railway.app

What's your backend URL?
```

2. **Ask for API Key (if they set one):**
```
Did you set an API_KEY when deploying? 
If yes, share it. If no or unsure, we'll try without.
```

3. **Store in TOOLS.md:**
```markdown
## Claw Control
- Backend URL: <their_url>
- API Key: <thei
