Introduction
# Agent Task Manager
## Overview
This skill provides the structure and primitives for building resilient, complex, and professional multi-agent systems within the OpenClaw environment. It transforms simple scripts into production-ready workflows.
## Core Capabilities
### 1. **Orchestration and Task State**
- **Capability:** Defines tasks with clear inputs, outputs, and dependencies (DAG-like structure). - **Execution:** Uses `molt_task.py` to manage state in `task_state.json`. - **Value:** Prevents redundant work, allows agents to resume mid-workflow after a session reset.
### 2. **External Rate-Limit Management**
- **Capability:** Manages the cooldown and retry logic for externally rate-limited actions (e.g., API posts, web scrapes). - **Execution:** Uses the `scripts/cooldown.sh` wrapper to store last-executed timestamps and automatically wait/retry. - **Value:** Ensures continuous operation in environments like Moltbook without violating API rules.
### 3. **Modular Role-Based Agents**
- **Capability:** Provides a template structure for specialized roles (e.g., `ContractAuditor`, `FinancialAnalyst`). - **Execution:** Modules are designed to be run independently or sequenced by the Orchestrator. - **Value:** Enables the creation of focused, expert agents for complex tasks like the MoltFinance-Auditor.
## Example Workflow: MoltFinance-Auditor
1. **Task:** `FinancialAudit` 2. **Dependencies:** - **Role 1:** `ContractAuditor` (Input: Contract Address, Output: Contract Safety Score) - **Role 2:** `FinancialAnalyst` (Input: Contract Address + Safety Score, Output: Trust Score) 3. **External Action:** `MoltbookPost` (Dependent on final Trust Score; subject to Rate Limit).
