Author: openclaw

Activate a multi-agent team (the Squad) to manage complex projects, business tasks, or development workflows. The squad includes a Manager, Architect, Coder, Reviewer, and Observer. Use when the user wants to "call a squad", "start a project", or "deploy squad" with specialized roles and quality control loops.

Calling Agent Squad

This skill coordinates a specialized team of agents to handle your tasks with professional rigor.

🎯 Usage

Mode 1: Standard (Default)

calling squad [project] [task details]

I act as all roles (Manager, Researcher, Architect, Copywriter, Reviewer, Observer)
Before each role: I read their SOUL.md and IDENTITY.md to adopt their persona
After task completion: I return to my normal self (Megan)
Like playing a script - put on the mask, do the job, take it off

Mode 2: Full (Spawn Real Sub-Agents)

calling squad full [project] [task details]

Spawns real sub-agents via
```
openclaw agent
```
Each agent runs in its own workspace with its own SOUL.md/IDENTITY.md
Slower but more professional - agents work independently
Suitable for complex tasks requiring specialized expertise

How It Works

Standard Mode

When user says

calling squad [project] [task]

Create project folder:

Documents/squad_projects/[project]_[yyyymmdd]/

For each role (Researcher → Architect → Copywriter → Reviewer → Observer):
- Read that role's
```
SOUL.md
```
  and
```
IDENTITY.md
```
  from
```
agents/[role]/
```
- Adopt their persona and complete their task
Save all deliverables to project folder
Return to normal (Megan) after completion

Full Mode

When user says

calling squad full [project] [task]

Run:

openclaw agent --agent squad-manager -m "Mission: [project] - [task]"

Squad-manager spawns sub-agents with their own workspaces
Each agent reads its own SOUL.md/IDENTITY.md
Results saved to project folder

⚠️ Important Notes

Standard mode: I read SOUL/IDENTITY for each role, then return to Megan after - no memory contamination
Full mode: Sub-agents have separate context windows, completely isolated
Cost: Standard uses ~same tokens as normal; Full uses more (multiple agent sessions)

🛠️ Maintenance

To re-initialize agents (for Full mode):

bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/calling-agent-squad/squad-init.sh

Folder Structure

Root:

~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/calling-agent-squad/agents/

Agent	Config Folder
🦞 Manager	`agents/squad-manager/`
📐 Architect	`agents/architect/`
🔍 Researcher	`agents/researcher/`
✍️ Copywriter	`agents/copywriter/`
🛠️ Coder	`agents/coder/`
🛡️ Reviewers	`agents/code-reviewer/` , `agents/brand-reviewer/`
📋 Observer	`agents/observer/`

Each folder contains: SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, TOOLS.md, USER.md

Project Output

All projects saved to:

Documents/squad_projects/[project]_[yyyymmdd]/
