What is Agent Teams: Simplify and Harden?
This skill implements a sophisticated two-phase team loop designed to produce production-quality code. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, it spawns specialized implementation agents to write code followed by read-only audit agents that scrutinize the work for complexity, security vulnerabilities, and specification mismatches. The process iterates until the code compiles perfectly, passes all tests, and receives a clean bill of health from the auditors.
The core philosophy relies on separating concerns: implementation agents have write access to execute tasks, while audit agents are restricted to read-only mode to ensure objective evaluation. This prevents agents from grading their own homework and results in hardened, simplified, and well-documented codebases that meet high engineering standards.
Agent Teams: Simplify and Harden Use Cases
- Implementing complex features from a detailed technical specification or plan.
- Hardening an existing codebase after a large batch of changes or refactoring.
- Fixing a list of security vulnerabilities or architectural gaps identified during a manual review.
- Managing multi-file tasks where automated quality gates are essential for stability.
- Ensuring high test coverage and documentation standards across a distributed team of AI agents.
How Agent Teams: Simplify and Harden Works
- Initialize a new agent team with a specific project context and description.
- Define and assign discrete, parallelizable tasks to general-purpose implementation agents.
- Execute the implementation phase where agents write code, verify compilation, and run tests.
- Capture the modified file list using git diff to define the audit scope.
- Spawn specialized, read-only audit agents (Simplify, Harden, and Spec) to review the modified files.
- Aggregate findings and prioritize them based on severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low).
- Re-assign fix tasks to implementation agents and repeat the cycle until exit conditions (like a clean audit or loop cap) are met.
Agent Teams: Simplify and Harden Setup
To add this capability to your Openclaw Skills library, run the following command in your terminal:
npx skills add pskoett/pskoett-ai-skills/agent-teams-simplify-and-harden
Ensure your environment is configured with the necessary compilers and test runners (e.g., bunx tsc, pytest, or go test) as implementation agents will use these to verify their work.
Agent Teams: Simplify and Harden Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages several data structures to track the hardening lifecycle within Openclaw Skills:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Team Context | Metadata including team name, project description, and active agent roster. |
| Task List | A collection of tasks with status, dependencies, and assigned owners. |
| Audit Reports | Structured findings categorized by severity (Critical to Low) and type (Cosmetic, Patch, Refactor). |
| Hardening Summary | A final report detailing rounds completed, actions taken, and unresolved observations. |
| File Manifest | A scoped list of files modified during the session used to guide auditors. |
Agent Teams: Simplify and Harden Advanced Features
- Parallel agent execution for faster implementation and multi-dimensional auditing.
- Automated loop management with configurable exit conditions and a 3-round cap to manage token budgets.
- Specialized Explore mode for auditors to prevent unauthorized file modifications during the review phase.
- Integrated Document Pass logic that prompts agents to add single-line comments on non-obvious logic.
- Budget-aware tightening that focuses on high-severity patches if code growth exceeds 30% of the original diff.
