What it does

Swarmclaw is an agent skill from LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills. Manage your SwarmClaw agent fleet, create and assign tasks, check agent and session status, trigger workflows, and orchestrate multi-agent work from chat. Use when asked to dispatch work to other agents, check what agents are doing, run diagnostics, or coordinate across a SwarmClaw dashboard instance.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: 🧠 Curated collection of 1209+ best OpenClaw skills — weekly updated by MyClaw.ai. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Orchestrate multi-agent work from chat
  • Asked to dispatch work to other agents
  • Check what agents are doing
  • Run diagnostics

Example prompts

  • “/swarmclaw”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in SWARMCLAW_ACCESS_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Install: npm i -g @swarmclawai/swarmclaw
  2. Set env var: export SWARMCLAW_ACCESS_KEY= (shown in terminal on first run)
  3. Full docs: https://swarmclaw.ai/docs — CLI reference: https://github.com/swarmclawai/swarmclaw

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5199b5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • swarmclaw.ai
    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SWARMCLAW_ACCESS_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Swarmclaw loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 515 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Overview

SwarmClaw is a self-hosted AI agent orchestration dashboard. This skill gives you CLI access to manage agents, tasks, sessions, schedules, and memory across a SwarmClaw instance.

Install the CLI:

bash
npm i -g @swarmclawai/swarmclaw

Authentication uses SWARMCLAW_ACCESS_KEY (preferred) or CLI key flags. Default URL is http://localhost:3456; override with SWARMCLAW_URL, --url (legacy commands), or --base-url (API-mapped commands).

Use machine-readable output when parsing command results:

  • --raw for legacy commands
  • --json for API-mapped commands

Setup

  1. Install: npm i -g @swarmclawai/swarmclaw
  2. Set env var: export SWARMCLAW_ACCESS_KEY=<your-key> (shown in terminal on first run)
  3. Full docs: https://swarmclaw.ai/docs — CLI reference: https://github.com/swarmclawai/swarmclaw

Multi-Gateway Fleet Management

SwarmClaw can connect to multiple OpenClaw gateways at the same time. Each SwarmClaw agent can target a different gateway, including one local and several remote instances. This skill’s commands operate through the SwarmClaw control plane, so your agent/task/session actions apply across the fleet view. Use it when you need status and task coordination across more than one OpenClaw instance.

Commands

Agents:

  • swarmclaw agents list — list all agents with IDs, names, providers, status
bash
swarmclaw agents list --raw
  • swarmclaw agents get <agentId> — get full details for a specific agent
bash
swarmclaw agents get <agentId> --raw

Tasks:

  • swarmclaw tasks create --title "..." --description "..." --agent-id <agentId> — create and assign a task
bash
swarmclaw tasks create --title "Analyse competitor pricing" --description "Research and compare competitor pricing strategies, identify gaps and opportunities" --agent-id <agentId> --raw
  • swarmclaw tasks list — list all tasks with status
bash
swarmclaw tasks list --raw

Sessions:

  • swarmclaw sessions list — list active sessions
bash
swarmclaw sessions list --raw
  • swarmclaw sessions chat <id> --message "..." — send a message to an existing session
bash
swarmclaw sessions chat <id> --message "Give me a status update" --raw

Memory:

  • swarmclaw memory maintenance — run memory maintenance analysis
bash
swarmclaw memory maintenance --raw

Diagnostics:

  • swarmclaw setup doctor — run system diagnostics and report issues
bash
swarmclaw setup doctor --raw

Version:

  • swarmclaw version check — check current version and update status
bash
swarmclaw version check --raw

Rules

  1. Always verify an agent ID exists by running agents list before creating tasks for it.
  2. Never pass the access key as a CLI argument in visible output — rely on the SWARMCLAW_ACCESS_KEY env var.
  3. If the SwarmClaw instance is unreachable, run swarmclaw setup doctor and report the findings before retrying.
  4. When the user says "dispatch work", "get X agent to do Y", or "assign this to", use tasks create to assign the work to the appropriate agent.
  5. When the user asks "what's running", "agent status", or "what are my agents doing", combine output from agents list and sessions list to give a full picture.
  6. For complex multi-step orchestration, create individual tasks rather than chaining commands.
  7. Use --raw/--json output modes when you need to parse command output for further processing.
  8. Do not run commands that modify or delete agents without explicit user confirmation.

Examples

Dispatch work to another agent: User says: "Get my research agent to analyse competitor pricing"

bash
swarmclaw agents list --raw
swarmclaw tasks create --title "Analyse competitor pricing" --description "Research and compare competitor pricing strategies, identify gaps and opportunities" --agent-id <research-agent-id> --raw

Then confirm the task was created and the agent will pick it up.

Check fleet status: User says: "What are all my agents doing right now?"

bash
swarmclaw agents list --raw
swarmclaw sessions list --raw

Then summarize which agents are idle, which have active sessions, and any tasks in progress.

Run diagnostics: User says: "Something seems wrong with SwarmClaw"

bash
swarmclaw setup doctor --raw

Then report issues found and suggest fixes based on the doctor output.

Check agents across gateways: User says: "What's happening across all my OpenClaw instances?"

bash
swarmclaw agents list --raw

Then use the output to identify agents across multiple gateways with their connection status, and summarize which gateways are healthy and which agents are active on each.
