What is Subagent Setup Wizard?
The Subagent Setup Wizard is a specialized utility designed to orchestrate complex AI workflows by spawning multiple child agents. Within the ecosystem of Openclaw Skills, this tool provides the necessary logic to handle task decomposition, parallel execution, and independent context management. It allows users to transition from simple serial conversations to sophisticated multi-agent systems where different agents can handle specific domains like frontend development, backend logic, or data research simultaneously.
By leveraging this skill, developers can significantly reduce the time required for large-scale projects. It provides a structured approach to choosing between ACP mode for professional coding environments and standard Subagent mode for general tasks. The wizard ensures that resource usage is balanced, preventing API rate limits or system performance bottlenecks while maximizing the utility of Openclaw Skills.
Subagent Setup Wizard Use Cases
- Parallelizing large-scale software development by assigning different agents to frontend, backend, and database tasks.
- Conducting multi-threaded research where separate agents crawl documentation and analyze source code simultaneously.
- Managing resource-intensive AI operations with strict CPU and memory monitoring thresholds.
- Optimizing API quota consumption across a fleet of specialized sub-agents.
- Implementing persistent session histories for complex, multi-step agent interactions.
How Subagent Setup Wizard Works
- Version Verification: The system checks if the local environment is running version 2026.3.0 or higher to ensure compatibility with subagent protocols.
- Mode Selection: Users select between ACP mode for professional coding or Subagent mode for general task execution.
- Parameter Configuration: The wizard defines concurrency limits, timeouts, and model selection (e.g., qwen3.5-plus) based on the specific use case.
- Agent Spawning: Using the sessions_spawn tool, the system initializes sub-agents with independent toolsets and context windows.
- Execution and Steering: The primary agent monitors sub-agent progress, using steering commands to guide output or status commands to track completion.
- Resource Monitoring: Real-time tracking of CPU, memory, and API calls ensures the workflow remains within safe operating limits.
Subagent Setup Wizard Setup
To get started with subagents in your Openclaw Skills environment, follow these steps:
# 1. Verify your current version
openclaw -v
# 2. Enable the subagent functionality
openclaw config set subagents.enabled true
# 3. Configure the maximum concurrency (e.g., 3 agents)
openclaw config set subagents.max_concurrent 3
# 4. Set the default runtime mode to session
openclaw config set subagents.default_mode session
Subagent Setup Wizard Data Schema & Taxonomy
The Subagent Setup Wizard organizes its configuration and monitoring data using the following schema:
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| runtime | String | The execution environment (acp or subagent) |
| concurrency | Integer | Maximum number of agents running in parallel |
| mode | String | Operation type: session (persistent) or run (one-off) |
| timeout | Integer | Maximum execution time in seconds |
| limits | Object | Resource thresholds for CPU, RAM, and API quotas |
| status | String | Current state of active sub-agents (running, idle, killed) |
Subagent Setup Wizard Advanced Features
- Resource-Aware Concurrency: Scripts that automatically adjust agent counts based on available system memory and CPU cores.
- Interactive Setup Wizard: A guided CLI experience to help users choose the best runtime for their specific task.
- Multi-Agent Steering: Advanced commands like /steer and /status to provide real-time direction to background agents.
- Automated Cleanup: Hooks to terminate stalled agents and clear session history to preserve system resources.
- ACP Mode Integration: Deep integration with professional coding environments for high-fidelity code generation.
