OrchardOS
OrchardOS is an OpenClaw plugin that gives your agents a persistent task board. Create projects, add tasks, and let the built-in queue runner dispatch them as subagents automatically.
Install
openclaw plugins install clawhub:openclaw-orchard
openclaw gateway restart
Configure (optional)
Orchard works after install with the plugin entry enabled. If you want to tune models, limits, database path, or queue cadence, configure the orchard plugin entry in openclaw.json.
Common options:
dbPathroles.executor.modelroles.architect.enabledlimits.maxConcurrentExecutorsqueueIntervalMs
Agent tools
Available in every agent session after install:
| Tool | Description |

orchard_project_create | Create a new project |
orchard_project_list | List all projects |
orchard_task_add | Add a task to a project |
orchard_task_list | List tasks (filter by project, status) |

How it works
- Create a project with a goal
- Add tasks (
readystatus) via tools, API, or dashboard - Queue runner polls every 5 minutes (configurable), dispatches ready tasks as subagents
- Executors use
orchard_task_done/orchard_task_blockto report back - Architect wakes when queue is empty to generate new tasks toward the project goal
