OpenClaw Team Builder

Manage your AI agent team: add agents to any position in the org tree, deploy templates, run health checks, auto-fix issues, and rollback changes.

Setup

The script is at ~/.openclaw/skills/team-builder/scripts/team-builder.sh. It requires openclaw CLI and python3.

TB="bash ~/.openclaw/skills/team-builder/scripts/team-builder.sh"

All examples below use $TB as shorthand.

View Org Tree

# Human-readable tree
$TB --tree

# JSON output (for parsing)
$TB --tree --json

JSON output example:

{
  "main": {"name":"软软","emoji":"😘","role":"director","reports_to":null,"manages":["xingzheng"],"description":""},
  "xingzheng": {"name":"xingzheng","emoji":"🤖","role":"worker","reports_to":"main","manages":[],"description":""}
}

Add an Agent

# Full CLI mode (no prompts)

  --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 \
  --feishu-app-id cli_xxx \
  --feishu-secret yyy \
  --yes

Parameters

Soul modes

• auto — Generate SOUL.md from role description + org relationships
• template:<key> — Use built-in template (also sets name/emoji/role automatically)
• skip — Keep OpenClaw default template

Goal-Driven Team Suggestion

Given a business goal, recommend the best team configuration from built-in templates.

# Get recommendation (human-readable)
$TB --suggest --goal "电商平台运营"

# JSON output (for AI Agent parsing)
$TB --suggest --goal "电商平台运营" --json

JSON output example:

{
  "goal": "电商平台运营",
  "matched_scenario": "ecommerce",
  "scenario_name": "电商团队",
  "recommended_agents": [
    {"id": "kefu", "template": "kefu", "reason": "处理客户咨询和售后"},
    {"id": "yunying", "template": "yunying", "reason": "运营数据分析和活动策划"}
  ],
  "deploy_commands": ["$TB --add --id kefu --soul template:kefu --parent main --yes", "..."],
  "total_agents": 4
}

Supported scenarios: ecommerce(电商), content(内容创作), devteam(研发), startup(创业), consulting(专业服务), solo(超级个体).

AI Agent Workflow: Creating a New Agent

When the user wants to add a new agent, follow these exact steps in order.

CRITICAL: Collect ALL info in ONE message. Do NOT use multi-step Q&A — session context may be lost between messages.

Step 1: Ask ONE compound question (all in a single message):

"好的！帮你创建新助手，请一次性告诉我： 1️⃣ 名字和 emoji（比如：小财 💰） 2️⃣ 核心任务（一句话，比如：负责报销和财务） 3️⃣ 自主级别：建议/执行/全自动 4️⃣ 语调：专业/亲切/简洁

比如：'小财 💰，负责报销和预算，全自动，简洁'"

If the user gives a short answer (e.g. "财务助手"), infer reasonable defaults:

• name: 小财 emoji: 💰 role: 财务管理 level: 执行 tone: 专业

If the user gives partial info, fill in sensible defaults and proceed. Do NOT ask follow-up questions.

Step 2: Immediately construct and execute (do NOT use openclaw agents add directly):

$TB --add \
  --id <kebab-case-id> \
  --name "<name>" \
  --emoji "<emoji>" \
  --role "核心任务：<task>。自主级别：<level>。语调：<tone>" \
  --parent main \
  --soul auto \
  --yes

Then restart gateway:

openclaw gateway restart

The script automatically: creates agent, generates SOUL.md, configures agentToAgent, and binds to ALL enabled channels (Telegram, Discord, Feishu, WeChat, iMessage).

Step 3: Confirm to user (in the SAME response as execution):

"✅ <name> 已创建并加入团队！已自动绑定所有可用渠道。"

Then show the tree:

$TB --tree

Step 4: Channel configuration (in the SAME response):

After creation, check which channels the agent is missing:

$TB --channels --agent <id> --json

Then guide the user based on missing_channels:

"📡 <name> 缺少以下渠道：<missing_channels>

要配置独立的 bot 吗？

• Telegram：请到 @BotFather 创建 bot，把 token 发给我
• Discord：请到 Developer Portal 创建 bot，把 token 发给我
• 飞书：请提供 App ID 和 App Secret
• 不需要的话可以跳过。"

When user provides credentials:

# Telegram
$TB --channels --agent <id> --channel telegram --token <token> --yes

# Discord
$TB --channels --agent <id> --channel discord --token <token> --yes

# Feishu
$TB --channels --agent <id> --channel feishu --feishu-app-id <id> --feishu-secret <s> --yes

Then restart gateway:

openclaw gateway restart

IMPORTANT:

• Always use $TB --add, never directly call openclaw agents add
• Never split into multiple Q&A rounds — collect everything in one message
• If user says something like "加个客服" — use the template: $TB --add --id kefu --soul template:kefu --parent main --yes
• After --add, always show channel binding status and offer feishu config

Deploy Solo Template

Deploy the "Super Individual" team: 4 specialist agents under main (dev, design, content, data).

# Deploy with defaults
$TB --solo --yes

# Deploy with specific model
$TB --solo --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 --yes

# Skip SOUL generation
$TB --solo --soul skip --yes

Already-existing agent IDs are automatically skipped.

List Role Templates

# Human-readable
$TB --templates

# JSON
$TB --templates --json

Available templates: xingzheng(行政), caiwu(财务), hr(人力), kefu(客服), yunying(运营), falv(法务), neirong(内容), shuju(数据), jishu(技术)

Channel Management

View channel status, agent bindings, and add new bots for agents.

# List all channels and bindings
$TB --channels --json

# Filter by agent
$TB --channels --agent kefu --json

# Add a Telegram bot for an agent
$TB --channels --agent kefu --channel telegram --token <bot-token> --yes

# Add a Discord bot for an agent
$TB --channels --agent kefu --channel discord --token <bot-token> --yes

# Add a Feishu app for an agent
$TB --channels --agent kefu --channel feishu --feishu-app-id cli_xxx --feishu-secret yyy --yes

JSON output example:

{
  "channels": {
    "telegram": {"enabled": true, "type": "shared", "accounts": []},
    "feishu": {"enabled": true, "type": "per-agent", "accounts": ["main"]}
  },
  "agents": [
    {
      "id": "main", "name": "软软",
      "bindings": [{"channel": "telegram", "accountId": ""}],
      "missing_channels": ["feishu"]
    }
  ]
}

Channel Model

• Each Agent can have its own bot (Telegram/Discord/Feishu etc.)
• A shared bot can only bind to ONE agent
• To have multiple agents on the same channel, each needs its own bot

How to create bots (guide the user):

• Telegram: Talk to @BotFather on Telegram → /newbot → get token
• Discord: Discord Developer Portal → New Application → Bot → Copy Token
• Feishu: 飞书开放平台 → 创建应用 → 获取 App ID + App Secret

AI Agent Workflow: Channel Configuration

After creating an agent, check channel status and guide the user:

$TB --channels --agent <id> --json

If the agent has missing channels, ask the user:

"📡 <name> 目前缺少以下渠道绑定：<missing_channels>

要为 <name> 配置独立的 bot 吗？

• Telegram：请先到 @BotFather 创建 bot，把 token 发给我
• Discord：请到 Developer Portal 创建 bot，把 token 发给我
• 飞书：请提供 App ID 和 App Secret

也可以跳过，之后随时用 --channels 配置。"

When the user provides credentials, execute:

# Telegram
$TB --channels --agent <id> --channel telegram --token <token> --yes

# Discord
$TB --channels --agent <id> --channel discord --token <token> --yes

# Feishu
$TB --channels --agent <id> --channel feishu --feishu-app-id <id> --feishu-secret <s> --yes

Then restart gateway and confirm:

openclaw gateway restart

Health Check

Scans for: gateway status, agentToAgent config, allow list completeness, SOUL.md presence, binding completeness, hierarchy file.

# Human-readable
$TB --checkup

# JSON
$TB --checkup --json

JSON output example:

{
  "checks": [
    {"name": "gateway", "status": "ok", "detail": null},
    {"name": "a2a_allow", "status": "warn", "detail": "缺失: xingzheng"}
  ],
  "issues": 1
}

Auto-Fix

Automatically fixes issues found by health check: restart gateway, enable agentToAgent, fill allow list, generate missing SOUL.md, add bindings, init hierarchy.

# Auto-fix (with confirmation)
$TB --fix

# Auto-fix (no prompts)
$TB --fix --yes

Team Status

Full overview: org tree, agent list, a2a config, bindings, SOUL.md line counts, backup count.

# Human-readable
$TB --status

# JSON (comprehensive)
$TB --status --json

Rollback

Every operation creates a backup. Rollback restores config, hierarchy, and SOUL.md files, and deletes agents created in that operation.

# Interactive rollback (pick from list)
$TB --rollback

# Rollback to most recent backup
$TB --rollback --index 1 --yes

Workflow Examples

"帮我加一个财务助手"

$TB --add --id caiwu --soul template:caiwu --parent main --yes

"看看团队现在什么状态"

$TB --status --json

"团队体检一下，有问题就修"

$TB --checkup --json
# If issues > 0:
$TB --fix --yes

"刚才加错了，撤回"

$TB --rollback --index 1 --yes

Notes

• All write operations auto-backup before executing (max 5 backups kept)
• Run openclaw gateway restart after changes to apply
• The script preserves existing agents — never overwrites
• TUI mode (no args) provides a full interactive menu for human use
