What it does

Swarmclaw is an agent skill from swarmclawai/swarmclaw. Manage your SwarmClaw agent fleet — agents, tasks, chats, chatrooms, goals, schedules, memory, wallets, connectors, autonomy, and 40+ more command groups. Use when asked to dispatch work, check agent status, coordinate multi-agent work, run diagnostics, manage schedules, set goals, or orchestrate across a SwarmClaw dashboard instance.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k 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, covering Multi-agent orchestration and Building AI agents. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Open-source self-hosted AI agent runtime and multi-agent framework for autonomous agent swarms. Agent memory, MCP tools, schedules, delegation, and 23+ LLM providers (Claude… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to dispatch work
  • Check agent status
  • Coordinate multi-agent work
  • Run diagnostics

Example prompts

  • “/swarmclaw”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in SWARMCLAW_ACCESS_KEY

Workflow steps

4 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. Default URL: http://localhost:3456 — override with SWARMCLAW_URL or --base-url
  4. Full docs: https://swarmclaw.ai/docs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed38ba5. 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

    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 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 998 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.2k

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 platform. This skill gives you CLI access to manage agents, tasks, chats, chatrooms, goals, schedules, memory, wallets, connectors, autonomy controls, webhooks, extensions, and more across one or many SwarmClaw instances.

The CLI maps 1:1 to the SwarmClaw REST API. Every command follows the pattern:

swarmclaw <group> <action> [id] [--flags]

Install the CLI:

bash
npm i -g @swarmclawai/swarmclaw

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. Default URL: http://localhost:3456 — override with SWARMCLAW_URL or --base-url
  4. Full docs: https://swarmclaw.ai/docs

Output Modes

Use machine-readable output when parsing results:

  • --json — structured JSON output (preferred for all API-mapped commands)
  • --raw — plain text output (legacy commands)

Filter results with --query key=value:

bash
swarmclaw tasks list --json --query status=in_progress
swarmclaw memory list --json --query agentId=abc123 --query q=pricing
swarmclaw runs list --json --query sessionId=xyz --query limit=10

Knowledge

Manage knowledge sources — manual text, files, and URLs that ground agent responses with citations.

bash
# List all knowledge entries
swarmclaw knowledge list --json

# Search knowledge
swarmclaw knowledge list --json --query q=pricing

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 --json 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.
  5. When the user asks "what's running", "agent status", or "what are my agents doing", combine output from agents list and chats list to give a full picture.
  6. For complex multi-step orchestration, create individual tasks rather than chaining commands.
  7. Prefer --json output mode for all commands. Use --raw only for legacy commands that don't support --json.
  8. Do not run commands that modify or delete agents without explicit user confirmation.
  9. Use system status for quick health checks — it's lightweight and safe for repeated polling.
  10. Use search query --query q=<term> to discover resources across agents, tasks, chats, schedules, and skills.
  11. The CLI group chats = "sessions" in the SwarmClaw UI. The legacy sessions alias is no longer available; always use chats.
  12. Use autonomy estop-set to engage emergency stop across all autonomous agents when safety action is needed.

Examples

Dispatch work to another agent

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

bash
swarmclaw agents list --json
# Find the research agent's ID from the output
swarmclaw tasks create --data '{"title":"Analyse competitor pricing","description":"Research and compare competitor pricing strategies, identify gaps and opportunities","agentId":"<research-agent-id>"}' --json

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 --json
swarmclaw chats list --json
swarmclaw tasks list --json --query status=in_progress

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

Run diagnostics

User says: "Something seems wrong with SwarmClaw"

bash
swarmclaw system status --json
swarmclaw setup doctor --json

Check the health summary first (fast), then run full diagnostics if issues are found.

Multi-agent chatroom collaboration

User says: "Get my strategy and research agents to brainstorm Q2 plans together"

bash
swarmclaw agents list --json
# Identify the strategy and research agent IDs
swarmclaw chatrooms create --data '{"name":"Q2 Strategy Brainstorm"}' --json
swarmclaw chatrooms add-member <chatroomId> --data '{"agentId":"<strategy-agent-id>"}' --json
swarmclaw chatrooms add-member <chatroomId> --data '{"agentId":"<research-agent-id>"}' --json
swarmclaw chatrooms chat <chatroomId> --data '{"message":"Brainstorm our Q2 growth strategy. Consider market trends, competitor moves, and our current strengths."}' --json
Schedule recurring work

User says: "Have my reporting agent send a daily summary every morning at 9am"

bash
swarmclaw agents list --json
# Find the reporting agent's ID
swarmclaw schedules create --data '{"name":"Daily Morning Summary","agentId":"<reporting-agent-id>","cron":"0 9 * * *","message":"Generate and send the daily summary report covering key metrics, alerts, and action items from the last 24 hours"}' --json
Emergency stop all autonomous agents

User says: "Stop everything now!"

bash
swarmclaw autonomy estop-set --data '{"engaged":true}' --json

Then confirm the emergency stop is engaged and all autonomous execution has halted.

Set up a goal hierarchy

User says: "Create a Q2 revenue goal and link my sales agent's tasks to it"

bash
swarmclaw goals create --data '{"title":"Increase Q2 revenue 20%","level":"organization","description":"Hit $1.2M ARR by end of Q2"}' --json
# Use the returned goalId to link agent tasks
swarmclaw tasks list --json --query agentId=<sales-agent-id>
swarmclaw tasks update <taskId> --data '{"goalId":"<goalId>"}' --json

Discovery
