Agent skill
antfarm-workflows
Multi-agent workflow orchestration for OpenClaw. Use when user mentions antfarm, asks to run a multi-step workflow (feature dev, bug fix, security audit), or wants to install/uninstall/check status of antfarm workflows.

Antfarm
Multi-agent workflow pipelines on OpenClaw. Each workflow is a sequence of specialized agents (planner, developer, verifier, tester, reviewer) that execute autonomously via cron jobs polling a shared SQLite database.
All CLI commands use the full path to avoid PATH issues:
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js <command>
Shorthand used below: antfarm-cli means node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js.
Workflows
| Workflow | Pipeline | Use for |
|---|---|---|
feature-dev |
plan -> setup -> develop (stories) -> verify -> test -> PR -> review | New features, refactors |
bug-fix |
triage -> investigate -> setup -> fix -> verify -> PR | Bug reports with reproduction steps |
security-audit |
scan -> prioritize -> setup -> fix -> verify -> test -> PR | Codebase security review |
Core Commands
# Install all workflows (creates agents + starts dashboard)
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js install
# Full uninstall (workflows, agents, crons, DB, dashboard)
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js uninstall [--force]
# Start a run
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow run <workflow-id> "<detailed task with acceptance criteria>"
# Check a run
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow status "<task or run-id prefix>"
# List all runs
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow runs
# Resume a failed run from the failed step
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow resume <run-id>
# View logs
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js logs [lines]
# Dashboard
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js dashboard [start] [--port N]
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js dashboard stop
Before Starting a Run
The task string is the contract between you and the agents. A vague task produces bad results.
Always include in the task string:
- What to build/fix (specific, not vague)
- Key technical details and constraints
- Acceptance criteria (checkboxes)
Get the user to confirm the plan and acceptance criteria before running.
How It Works
- Agents have cron jobs (every 15 min, staggered) that poll for pending steps
- Each agent claims its step, does the work, marks it done, advancing the next step
- Context passes between steps via KEY: value pairs in agent output
- No central orchestrator — agents are autonomous
Force-Triggering Agents
To skip the 15-min cron wait, use the cron tool with action: "run" and the agent's job ID. List crons to find them — they're named antfarm/<workflow-id>/<agent-id>.
Workflow Management
# List available workflows
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow list
# Install/uninstall individual workflows
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow install <name>
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow uninstall <name>
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow uninstall --all [--force]
Creating Custom Workflows
See {baseDir}/../../docs/creating-workflows.md for the full guide on writing workflow YAML, agent workspaces, step templates, and verification loops.
Agent Step Operations (used by agent cron jobs, not typically manual)
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js step claim <agent-id> # Claim pending step
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js step complete <step-id> # Complete step (output from stdin)
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js step fail <step-id> <error> # Fail step with retry
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js step stories <run-id> # List stories for a run
