OpenClaw Create Agent#

Use this skill to create one new OpenClaw agent and finish routing/config updates in one pass.

This skill is Feishu-only. Do not use it for Telegram, Slack, Discord, or other channels.

Required Inputs#

First align the user's target scenario, then collect fields. Ask only for missing required fields.

Scenario alignment question (must ask first):

• Option A: create a new bot/app and map it to a new agent ( routing_mode=account)
• Option B: map an existing/new group to a new agent under one bot ( routing_mode=peer)

FieldRequiredNotesagent_idyeslowercase letters, digits, - onlyworkspaceyesuse absolute path for project workspacemodelnooptional model override for this agentrouting_modeyesaccount or peer``channelnofixed to feishu

For routing_mode=account (one bot per agent), collect:

• account_id (required)
• app_id, app_secret, bot_name (optional but recommended)

For routing_mode=peer (single bot, multi-group), collect:

• peer_kind ( group or direct, required)
• peer_id (required)
• account_id (optional, narrows matching if provided)
• if this is a new group, collect peer_id only after guided gates in Step 0.5

Workflow#

1. Align scenario (new bot per agent or multi-group per agent).
2. For multi-group scenarios, run guided gates in Step 0.5.
3. Read current config and backup.
4. Create agent runtime with OpenClaw CLI.
5. Upsert config for channel account, binding, and dmScope.
6. Restart gateway and verify.
7. Return a concise change summary.

Step 0: Align Requirement#

Ask this first:

text

你是要哪一种？
1) 新建一个机器人，对应一个新 Agent（account 路由）
2) 已有一个机器人，在新群里绑定一个新 Agent（peer 路由）

Map answer:

• option 1 -> routing_mode=account
• option 2 -> routing_mode=peer

If answer is ambiguous, stop and clarify before editing config.

Step 0.5: Multi-Group Guided Gates#

Apply this step when the user is doing multi-group multi-agent routing.

1. Guide the user to create a new group and add the bot into that group.
2. Pause and wait for explicit confirmation: 已创建群.
3. Only after receiving 已创建群, guide the user to send one message in that group to generate logs.
4. Pause and wait for explicit confirmation: 已发送.
5. Only after receiving 已发送, check OpenClaw logs and extract chat_id (format oc_xxxxx).

Suggested command:

bash

openclaw logs --follow

Expected signal in logs:

text

Received message from peer: { kind: "group", id: "oc_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" }

Step 1: Precheck and Backup#

Run:

bash

test -f ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
cp ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak.$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)

If config file is missing, stop and ask user to initialize OpenClaw first.

Step 2: Create Agent Runtime#

Run OpenClaw CLI first (required):

bash

openclaw agents add <agent_id> --workspace <workspace> --non-interactive

If model is provided:

bash

openclaw agents add <agent_id> --workspace <workspace> --model <model> --non-interactive

Step 3: Upsert openclaw.json#

Use the bundled script:

bash

python3 scripts/upsert_openclaw_agent.py \
  --config ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json \
  --agent-id <agent_id> \
  --routing-mode <account|peer> \
  [--account-id <account_id>] \
  [--app-id <app_id>] \
  [--app-secret <app_secret>] \
  [--bot-name <bot_name>] \
  [--peer-kind <group|direct>] \
  [--peer-id <peer_id>]

Run from this skill folder, or replace scripts/upsert_openclaw_agent.py with its absolute path.

Script behavior:

• upsert channels.<channel>.accounts.<account_id> when account mode is used
• upsert one binding for this agent
• always enforce session.dmScope = per-account-channel-peer for multi-agent Feishu setup

Read references/routing-modes.md when routing choice is unclear.

Step 4: Restart and Verify#

Run:

bash

openclaw gateway restart
openclaw agents list --bindings

Validate:

• target agent appears in list
• binding points to expected channel/account or channel/peer

Step 5: Report Output#

Return:

• created/updated binding match
• whether account entry was added/updated
• whether dmScope changed
• verification command results

Constraints#

• Preserve existing unrelated agents/accounts/bindings.
• Reject route conflicts (same channel/account/peer route already used by another agent).
• Avoid interactive prompts unless user explicitly asks for interactive mode.
• Assume channel=feishu only.
• In multi-group scenarios, do not continue past Step 0.5 until receiving 已创建群 and then 已发送.
