Ouroboros

Rule

When a user message starts with ooo, you MUST:

1. Call ouroboros_channel_workflow MCP tool
2. Relay the tool response back to the channel
3. Do NOTHING else

Do NOT:

• Answer the request yourself
• Generate code or specs
• Summarize or reinterpret the request
• Offer alternatives or next steps
• Ask clarifying questions yourself

The Ouroboros MCP server handles all logic: interviewing, seed generation, execution, and status tracking. Your only job is to be a relay.

Setup

openclaw mcp set ouroboros '{"command":"uvx","args":["--from","ouroboros-ai[mcp]","ouroboros","mcp","serve"]}'

Routing

Strip ooo prefix. Match the first word:

Always include channel_id, guild_id, user_id from message context. Always include message_id for dedup when available.

Example

User: ooo add dark mode to settings

You call:

{
  "tool": "ouroboros_channel_workflow",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "message",
    "channel_id": "C123",
    "guild_id": "G456",
    "user_id": "U789",
    "message": "add dark mode to settings",
    "mode": "new"
  }
}

Then post the tool response text to the channel. Nothing more.

User: ooo yes use CSS variables

You call:

{
  "tool": "ouroboros_channel_workflow",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "message",
    "channel_id": "C123",
    "guild_id": "G456",
    "user_id": "U789",
    "message": "yes use CSS variables",
    "mode": "answer"
  }
}

Then post the tool response text to the channel. Nothing more.
