- description
- Orchestrate a PM bot and one or more Dev bots in a private Telegram group. Use to turn plain chat commands like "DEV skill install <slug>" and "DEV cron add ..." into actions on a Dev OpenClaw server (install ClawHub skills, manage OpenClaw cron jobs). Includes a Dev-side command executor script and a PM-side command format + safety rules.
pm-dev-orchestrator
Set up a PM bot (planner) that issues structured commands in a private Telegram group, and a Dev bot (executor) that runs those commands on its own server.
This skill is written for the Dev bot (executor). It contains:
- a strict, parseable command language that PM can post into the group
- the Dev bot behavior contract (what to execute, what to ignore)
- safe defaults to avoid loops / spam / privilege escalation
Core idea
- PM speaks natural Russian to the human.
- PM posts strict commands into a private group.
- Dev bot (OpenClaw) reads that group and executes only commands:
- authored by PM bot (numeric from.id) - inside the allowed group chat id - with strict prefix: DEV
No extra polling bot is needed: Dev bot is just an OpenClaw instance connected to Telegram. When it receives a group message, it parses and runs the allowlisted actions.
Required config values (fill these)
GROUP_CHAT_ID— Telegram group chat id (e.g.-5259247075or-100...).PM_FROM_ID— Telegram numeric id of the PM bot. Example from our setup:7790959648.DEV_BOT_TOKEN— BotFather token for the Dev bot.
Dev bot: OpenClaw Telegram group allowlist
In ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json on the Dev server, set:
{
"channels": {
"telegram": {
"enabled": true,
"botToken": "<DEV_BOT_TOKEN>",
"dmPolicy": "allowlist",
"allowFrom": [],
"groupPolicy": "allowlist",
"groupAllowFrom": [<PM_FROM_ID>],
"groups": {
"<GROUP_CHAT_ID>": {}
}
}
}
}Restart gateway:
openclaw gateway restartCommand format (PM → Dev in the group)
All executable commands must be a single line starting with DEV .
Skill management
DEV skill install <slug>DEV skill update <slug>DEV skill search <query>DEV skill list
Rules:
<slug>must be a ClawHub slug likeclaw-guruorStaticAI/android-adb.- Installs into:
~/workspace/skills(OpenClaw workspace).
Cron management
DEV cron listDEV cron add every=10m name="dm-check" message="..."DEV cron add cron="*/5 * * * *" name="health" message="..."DEV cron enable id=<jobId> on|offDEV cron remove id=<jobId>DEV cron run id=<jobId>
Notes:
message=...becomes the agentTurn prompt for the cron job (isolated).
Dev executor (recommended): implement as Dev bot behavior (no extra daemon)
Recommended: do not run an extra process. Instead, configure the Dev bot’s behavior to:
1) Ignore everything except DEV ... commands. 2) For allowed commands, run the corresponding local CLI (clawhub / openclaw cron ...). 3) Reply with a short, machine-readable status.
Dev bot behavior contract (copy into Dev bot system instructions)
When you receive a Telegram group message:
- If
chat.id != GROUP_CHAT_ID: ignore. - If
from.id != PM_FROM_ID: ignore. - If text does not start with
DEV: ignore.
Otherwise parse and execute.
Output format (reply in group):
- Success:
OK <summary> - Failure:
ERR <reason>
Keep it under ~10 lines.
Optional script
scripts/dev_executor.py is included as a parser/executor scaffold for testing, but the primary path is the Dev bot behavior above.
Safety rules (non-negotiable)
- Never execute arbitrary shell from chat.
- Only allow commands listed above.
- Only accept from
PM_FROM_IDinGROUP_CHAT_ID. - Never print secrets/tokens in chat.
Troubleshooting
- If Dev bot is silent: check group allowlist in config (
groupAllowFrom+groups) and restart gateway. - If PM_FROM_ID unknown: on Dev server run
openclaw logs --follow, make PM bot send a message, readfrom.id.
