Agents Manager

Manage all Clawdbot agents centrally: discover available agents, profile their capabilities, define routing hierarchy (who can assign to whom, who reports to whom), and intelligently route new tasks through the escalation chain.

🤖 For Agents

System Prompt (Copy-Paste)

Give this prompt to any agent to teach them this skill:

"You have access to the
agents-manager
skill. Use it to discover peers (
scan_agents
), check permissions (
can_assign.js
), and route tasks. Always follow the Handshake Protocol: Check
requires_approval
before assigning. If true, ask me first."

Core Rules

Discovery: Always check
```
scan_agents.js
```
before assuming an agent exists.
Permission: Never assign a task without checking
```
can_assign.js
```
or
```
agent-registry.md
```
.
protocol:
- IF
```
requires_approval
```
  is FALSE -> Assign directly.
- IF
```
requires_approval
```
  is TRUE -> Ask supervisor (Human or Agent).

👤 For Humans

Quick Start

Goal	Command
Setup	`node scripts/setup_wizard.js` (Run this first!)
List	`node scripts/scan_agents.js`
Health	`node scripts/health_check.js`
Stats	`node scripts/log_analyzer.js`

1. Agent Discovery & Profiling

List and profile all agents to understand their capabilities and routing configuration.

# List all agents
node {baseDir}/scripts/scan_agents.js

# Profile specific agent
node {baseDir}/scripts/generate_card.js <agent_id>

2. Validation & Health

Ensure your agent ecosystem is healthy and valid.

# Validate registry integrity
node {baseDir}/scripts/validate_registry.js

# Check permissions (Agent A -> Agent B)
node {baseDir}/scripts/can_assign.js <source_id> <target_id>

# Visualize hierarchy
node {baseDir}/scripts/visualize_agents.js

3. Task Routing & Escalation

Define how tasks flow between agents using

references/task-routing-rules.md

Direct: Agent → Agent (if
```
can_assign_to
```
allows)
Handshake: Request approval if
```
requires_approval
```
is true.
Escalation: Helper → Supervisor → Human
