Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @capt-marbles/task-router-skill
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install task-router-skill
What This Skill Does
Distributed task queue and coordinator for OpenClaw multi-agent systems. Creates, routes, and tracks tasks across specialized agents based on declared capabilities. Handles async handoffs, dependency chains, retries, and dead letter management.
Centralizes coordination overhead, including dependency ordering, failure recovery, and load balancing, so individual agents don't need to manage any of that themselves.
When to use it
- Routing a competitor research task to whichever research agent has the lightest load
- Chaining analysis work to start only after a research task finishes
- Running multiple image generation tasks in parallel without blocking the main session
- Automatically retrying failed tasks and escalating to dead letter after max retries
- Monitoring task status and collecting results across a multi-agent workflow
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: Research our competitors and create a presentation deck
AGENT
- 1Creates a research task routed to the least-loaded research agent
- 2Creates an analysis task with a dependency on the research task ID
- 3Spawns two image generation tasks in parallel, independent of the analysis
- 4Creates a presentation task depending on the analysis and both image tasks
- 5Waits on the final task ID and returns the result once all dependencies complete
OUTPUT
Completed presentation deck assembled from outputs of four agents across five coordinated tasks
