Agent Zero Bridge

Bidirectional communication between Clawdbot and Agent Zero.

When to Use

• Complex coding tasks requiring iteration/self-correction
• Long-running builds, tests, or infrastructure work
• Tasks needing persistent Docker execution environment
• Research with many sequential tool calls
• User explicitly asks for Agent Zero

Setup (First Time Only)

1. Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ (for built-in fetch)
• Agent Zero running (Docker recommended, port 50001)
• Clawdbot Gateway with HTTP endpoints enabled

2. Install

# Copy skill to Clawdbot skills directory
cp -r <this-skill-folder> ~/.clawdbot/skills/agent-zero-bridge

# Create config from template
cd ~/.clawdbot/skills/agent-zero-bridge
cp .env.example .env

3. Configure .env

# Agent Zero (get token from A0 settings or calculate from runtime ID)
A0_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:50001
A0_API_KEY=your_agent_zero_token

# Clawdbot Gateway
CLAWDBOT_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:18789
CLAWDBOT_API_TOKEN=your_gateway_token

# For Docker containers reaching host (use your machine's LAN IP)
CLAWDBOT_API_URL_DOCKER=http://192.168.1.x:18789

4. Get Agent Zero Token

# Calculate from A0's runtime ID
import hashlib, base64
runtime_id = "your_A0_PERSISTENT_RUNTIME_ID"  # from A0's .env
hash_bytes = hashlib.sha256(f"{runtime_id}::".encode()).digest()
token = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(hash_bytes).decode().replace("=", "")[:16]
print(token)

5. Enable Clawdbot Gateway Endpoints

Add to

~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json

:

{
  "gateway": {
    "bind": "0.0.0.0",
    "auth": { "mode": "token", "token": "your_token" },
    "http": { "endpoints": { "chatCompletions": { "enabled": true } } }
  }
}

Then:

clawdbot gateway restart

6. Deploy Client to Agent Zero Container

docker exec <container> mkdir -p /a0/bridge/lib
docker cp scripts/lib/. <container>:/a0/bridge/lib/
docker cp scripts/clawdbot_client.js <container>:/a0/bridge/
docker cp .env <container>:/a0/bridge/
docker exec <container> sh -c 'echo "DOCKER_CONTAINER=true" >> /a0/bridge/.env'

Usage

Send Task to Agent Zero

node scripts/a0_client.js "Build a REST API with JWT authentication"
node scripts/a0_client.js "Review this code" --attach ./file.py
node scripts/a0_client.js "New task" --new  # Start fresh conversation

Check Status

node scripts/a0_client.js status
node scripts/a0_client.js history
node scripts/a0_client.js reset  # Clear conversation

Task Breakdown (Creates Tracked Project)

node scripts/task_breakdown.js "Build e-commerce platform"
# Creates notebook/tasks/projects/<name>.md with checkable steps

From Agent Zero → Clawdbot

Inside A0 container:

# Report progress
node /a0/bridge/clawdbot_client.js notify "Working on step 3..."

# Ask for input
node /a0/bridge/clawdbot_client.js "Should I use PostgreSQL or SQLite?"

# Invoke Clawdbot tool
node /a0/bridge/clawdbot_client.js tool web_search '{"query":"Node.js best practices"}'

Troubleshooting

Error	Fix
401 / API key error	Check A0_API_KEY matches Agent Zero's mcp_server_token
Connection refused from Docker	Use host LAN IP in CLAWDBOT_API_URL_DOCKER, ensure gateway binds 0.0.0.0
A0 500 errors	Check Agent Zero's LLM API key (Gemini/OpenAI) is valid
