What is Chitin Editorial?
Chitin Editorial is a specialized coordination system designed for environments where multiple AI agents, such as Vesper and Ember, collaborate on content creation and distribution. By leveraging a git-backed ledger, it ensures that every agent in the ecosystem is aware of active tasks, prevents duplicate efforts on the same channel, and maintains a consistent narrative timeline. This skill is essential for maintaining order in automated publishing workflows and providing a source of truth for Openclaw Skills.
The system operates on a claim-based logic where agents must check the editorial state and lock a specific content ID before proceeding with drafting or publishing. This workflow ensures high reliability and provides a clear audit trail of who published what and when, making it a robust solution for decentralized content teams.
Chitin Editorial Use Cases
- Preventing multiple AI agents from publishing the same content to the same social media channel.
- Mapping narrative story arcs (e.g., Day 1 of a series) to specific calendar dates for synchronized releases.
- Providing a boot-time status report so agents are immediately aware of recent activity and active claims.
- Maintaining an immutable publication history that persists across agent sessions and reboots.
How Chitin Editorial Works
- The AI agent runs a check command to verify if a specific content ID is already published or claimed by another agent.
- If safe, the agent issues a claim for the content and channel, which creates a temporary lock file and triggers a git commit.
- The agent performs its drafting and publishing tasks on the external platform.
- Once finished, the agent records the publication in the ledger, which automatically releases the claim and updates the master registry.
- The system automatically handles claim expiration after two hours to prevent stale locks if an agent process is interrupted.
Chitin Editorial Setup
To get started with this component of your Openclaw Skills library, add the boot check to your agent's startup sequence in AGENTS.md:
bash /home/aaron/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-chronicle/editorial/boot-check.sh
Ensure your agent identity is configured by setting the environment variable in your session:
export OPENCLAW_AGENT=vesper
Chitin Editorial Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes editorial state using a structured file hierarchy and JSON schemas:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
registry.json |
Tracks the lifecycle of all content from planned to published status. |
ledger.json |
An append-only log containing URLs and timestamps for every successful publication. |
timeline.json |
Defines the mapping between narrative series days and real-world calendar dates. |
claims/*.claim |
Temporary files representing active work-in-progress to prevent agent collisions. |
boot-check.sh |
A utility script that summarizes current state for agent awareness at the start of a session. |
Chitin Editorial Advanced Features
- Automatic Git integration that creates an audit trail for every claim, release, and publication event.
- Cross-agent collision detection that prevents simultaneous work on the same content ID across different platforms.
- Claim auto-expiry logic that moves old lock files to an archive, ensuring the workflow never stays stuck.
- Performance-optimized CLI tools that complete state checks and writes in under 500ms for responsive agent interaction.
