firm-orchestration
This skill implements the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) pyramid pattern for OpenClaw.
Architecture
CEO Agent (orchestrator)
├── Department Strategy
│ └── Service Planning → Employee Analyst
├── Department Engineering
│ └── Service Backend → Employee Implementer
├── Department Quality
│ └── Service Testing → Employee Auditor
└── Department Operations
└── Service Release → Employee Coordinator
Usage
Send this to your OpenClaw session to trigger a full firm orchestration run:
@firm-orchestration run
objective: "Build a payment API"
departments: ["engineering", "quality"]
delivery_format: "github_pr"
Tools activated
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
sessions_list | Discover active department/service sessions |
sessions_spawn | Spawn missing sessions per pyramid level |
sessions_send | Delegate objectives down the hierarchy |
sessions_history | Collect results from child sessions |
Handoff contract
Each delegation payload follows this schema:
{
"from": "ceo",
"to": "department:engineering",
"objective": "...",
"constraints": ["...", "..."],
"definition_of_done": "...",
"context_ref": "memory:delivery/latest",
"reply_session": "main"
}
Merge strategy
Results from all departments are:
- Collected via
sessions_historywith a 30-second deadline - Deduplicated by
objective_key - Merged in dependency order (Strategy → Engineering → Quality → Ops)
- Formatted according to
delivery_format
Operating Protocol (Anthropic-style)
Based on real Anthropic team practices — "How Anthropic teams use Claude Code"
Phase 1 — Parallel dispatch (never sequential)
Fan-out simultaneously to all departments via sessions_send. Never wait for one department
before launching the next. Each session receives the full handoff contract and maintains its
own complete context. Store all reply_session refs for convergence.
Objective received →
sessions_send(engineering) ‖ sessions_send(quality) ‖ sessions_send(ops) ‖ sessions_send(strategy)
→ wait(deadline=30s)
→ collect via sessions_history
Phase 2 — Iterative loop on blockers
If a department returns status: blocked, do NOT resolve it yourself. Spawn a joint
resolution session with the two conflicting departments and let them iterate:
engineering blocked by legal →
sessions_spawn(participants=[engineering, legal], objective="resolve_blocker") →
wait(max_iterations=2) →
collect resolution
Maximum 2 re-delegation cycles before escalating to CEO with explicit blocker report.
Phase 3 — Convergence with partial acceptance
30-second hard deadline. After deadline: accept partial results, mark missing department
outputs as status: timeout, include them in final report as open items.
Never block delivery on a single department.
Phase 4 — Validate before merge
Before merging each department output into the final deliverable:
- Check output satisfies its
definition_of_done - If DoD not met: flag as
quality: partial— do not silently drop - Merge in dependency order only: Strategy → Engineering → Quality → Ops
Phase 5 — Deliver + document
After every completed orchestration, automatically append:
- Run summary (1 paragraph)
- Departments that delivered / timed out / were blocked
- Architecture/process decisions made
- Suggestions for improving the next similar run
All final outputs carry the mandatory disclaimer:
⚠️ Contenu généré par IA — validation humaine requise avant utilisation en production.
Phase 6 — Git checkpoints (when Engineering is involved)
Require Engineering to commit after each sub-task — not only at end of run.
Reject PRs that are not draft + labelled needs-review.
Never allow direct merge to main.
Security
- All inter-session calls use
reply_session: "main"to avoid orphaned sessions sessions_spawnis rate-limited: max 20 spawns per orchestration run- Payloads are validated against the handoff schema before dispatch
- No external network calls — pure Gateway WebSocket routing
Example prompt
Use the firm-orchestration skill to:
objective: "Audit the authentication module"
departments: ["quality", "engineering"]
constraints: ["read-only access only", "no production changes"]
definition_of_done: "Security report with CVSS scores and fix recommendations"
delivery_format: "markdown_report"
