- description
- A structured workflow plugin for OpenClaw agents. Guides work through brainstorm → plan → execute → verify → deliver with persistent state, branching, parallel context-plugins, and multi-project support. Trigger when the user wants to start a new project, follow a structured workflow, manage multiple concurrent projects, or navigate between workflow steps. Install as a Plugin (not a Skill) for full functionality including the agent_workflow tool. Do not trigger for simple one-off tasks.
Agent Workflow
A structured workflow engine for OpenClaw agents. Migrated and generalized from the superpowers workflow system into a code-agnostic, general-purpose workflow plugin.
What it does
Provides a persistent state machine that guides your agent through a complete work lifecycle:
brainstorming → writing-plans → [execute] → verification → finishing-work
↓
subagent-driven-execution
OR
executing-plansWith support for:
- Persistent state — workflow survives session restarts
- Multi-project — run multiple workflows concurrently
- Branching — choose execution strategy at branch points
- Context-plugins — fork into review/parallel-agents without leaving main flow
- Soft-guard goto — jump to any step with warnings about skipped prerequisites
- 11 bundled Skills — covering the full workflow lifecycle
Installation
This is a Plugin, not a plain Skill. Install via:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:agent-workflow
