💡 **What You’ll Learn**:

A multi-agent coordination system powered by OpenClaw.

Deploy a team of AI agents that work together, each with their own identity, workspace, and scheduled heartbeats. Coordinate tasks, share context, and deliver notifications in near real-time.

Clawe Dashboard

Run multiple AI agents with distinct roles and personalities
Agents wake on cron schedules to check for work
Kanban-style task management with assignments and subtasks
Instant delivery of @mentions and task updates
Agents collaborate through shared files and Convex backend
Monitor squad status, tasks, and chat with agents from a web dashboard

Docker & Docker Compose
Convex account (free tier works)
Anthropic API key

git clone https://github.com/getclawe/clawe.git
cd clawe
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

# Required
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
OPENCLAW_TOKEN=your-secure-token
CONVEX_URL=https://your-deployment.convex.cloud

# Optional
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...  # For image generation

pnpm install
cd packages/backend
npx convex deploy

Production (recommended):

This script will:

Create .env from .env.example if missing
Auto-generate a secure OPENCLAW_TOKEN
Validate all required environment variables
Build necessary packages
Start the Docker containers

Development:

# Start OpenClaw gateway only (use local web dev server)
pnpm dev:docker

# In another terminal, start web + Convex
pnpm dev

The production stack starts:

openclaw: Gateway running all agents
watcher: Notification delivery + cron setup
clawe: Web dashboard at http://localhost:3000

Clawe comes with 4 pre-configured agents:

Agent	Role	Heartbeat
🦞 Clawe	Squad Lead	Every 15 min
✍️ Inky	Content Editor	Every 15 min
🎨 Pixel	Designer	Every 15 min
🔍 Scout	SEO	Every 15 min

Heartbeats are staggered to avoid rate limits.

Schedule recurring tasks that automatically create inbox items:

Configure day/time schedules per routine
1-hour trigger window for crash tolerance
Tasks created with Clawe as the creator
Manage via Settings → General in the dashboard

Agents use the clawe CLI to interact with the coordination system:

# Check for notifications
clawe check

# List tasks
clawe tasks
clawe tasks --status in_progress

# View task details
clawe task:view <task-id>

# Update task status
clawe task:status <task-id> in_progress
clawe task:status <task-id> review

# Add comments
clawe task:comment <task-id> "Working on this now"

# Manage subtasks
clawe subtask:add <task-id> "Research competitors"
clawe subtask:check <task-id> 0

# Register deliverables
clawe deliver <task-id> "Final Report" --path ./report.md

# Send notifications
clawe notify <session-key> "Need your review on this"

# View squad status
clawe squad

# Activity feed
clawe feed

Each agent has an isolated workspace with:

/data/workspace-🔥/
├── AGENTS.md      # Instructions and conventions
├── SOUL.md        # Agent identity and personality
├── USER.md        # Info about the human they serve
├── HEARTBEAT.md   # What to do on each wake
├── MEMORY.md      # Long-term memory
├── TOOLS.md       # Local tool notes
└── shared/        # Symlink to shared state
    ├── WORKING.md # Current team status
    └── WORKFLOW.md # Standard operating procedures

Create workspace template in docker/openclaw/templates/workspaces/🔥/
Add agent to docker/openclaw/templates/config.template.json
Add agent to watcher’s AGENTS array in apps/watcher/src/index.ts
Rebuild: docker compose build && docker compose up -d

Changing Heartbeat Schedules

Edit the AGENTS array in apps/watcher/src/index.ts:

const AGENTS = [
  {
    id: "main",
    name: "Clawe",
    emoji: "🦞",
    role: "Squad Lead",
    cron: "0 * * * *",
  },
  // Add or modify agents here
];

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Terminal 1: Start Convex dev server
pnpm convex:dev

# Terminal 2: Start OpenClaw gateway in Docker
pnpm dev:docker

# Terminal 3: Start web dashboard
pnpm dev:web

# Or run everything together (Convex + web, but not OpenClaw)
pnpm dev

# Build everything
pnpm build

# Type check
pnpm check-types

# Lint and format
pnpm check      # Check only
pnpm fix        # Auto-fix

# Deploy Convex to production
pnpm convex:deploy

Variable	Required	Description
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`	Yes	Anthropic API key for Claude
`OPENCLAW_TOKEN`	Yes	Auth token for OpenClaw gateway
`CONVEX_URL`	Yes	Convex deployment URL
`OPENAI_API_KEY`	No	OpenAI key (for image generation)
