Multi-Agent Dev Team

2-agent collaborative software development workflow for OpenClaw

Build complete software projects using AI agents that work together like a real development team.

What is this?

The Multi-Agent Dev Team skill provides a PM (Project Manager) and Dev (Developer) agent that collaborate to build software projects. You describe what you want, the PM breaks it down into tasks, and the Dev agent implements them.

Perfect for:

• - Landing pages and websites
• Small web applications
• Prototypes and MVPs
• Code generation projects
• Learning multi-agent workflows

Quick Start

1. Install the skill

CODEBLOCK0

2. Set up agents

The skill includes two pre-configured agents:

PM Agent (multi-agent-pm)

• - Handles project planning
• Coordinates the Dev agent
• Reports progress to you

Dev Agent (multi-agent-dev)

• - Implements code
• Tests functionality
• Commits to Git

3. Configure in ~/.openclaw/config.yaml

4. Start your PM agent

Usage Example

Building a Landing Page

You (Director):

Build me a Next.js landing page with hero section, features, and contact form. Use Tailwind CSS and TypeScript.

PM Agent:

I'll break this down into a clear task for the Dev agent. Starting now...

[Spawns Dev agent with detailed spec]

Dev agent is working on the project. I'll monitor progress and report back when complete.

PM Agent (later):

✅ Landing page completed!

Deliverables:

• - Next.js 14+ App Router project
• Hero, Features, Contact sections
• Fully responsive design
• TypeScript + Tailwind CSS
• Git repository initialized

Location: INLINECODE3

Ready for deployment. Would you like me to deploy to Vercel?

How It Works

Architecture

CODEBLOCK3

Workflow

1. 1. You describe your project to the PM agent
2. PM creates a structured task specification
3. PM spawns Dev agent with the spec
4. Dev implements the code
5. PM reviews the deliverables
6. PM reports completion (or requests revisions)
7. Repeat steps 4-6 if needed (max 3 iterations)

Task Specification Format

The PM agent uses this template to communicate with Dev:

Supported Project Types

✅ Works Great

• - Next.js landing pages & apps
• React components & SPAs
• Node.js scripts & APIs
• TypeScript projects
• Static sites (HTML/CSS/JS)
• Documentation sites

⚠️ Limited Support

• - Complex backend systems (use Pro version)
• Real-time applications
• Multi-service architectures
• Mobile apps

❌ Not Recommended

• - Large enterprise systems
• Mission-critical production code without human review
• Projects requiring specialized agents (use Pro version)

Configuration Options

Agent Models

PM Agent (orchestration):

• - anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 - Best reasoning
• INLINECODE5 - Fast & efficient
• INLINECODE6 - Balanced

Dev Agent (code generation):

• - google/gemini-2.5-flash - Fast iteration (recommended)
• INLINECODE8 - Higher quality
• INLINECODE9 - Budget-friendly

Workspace Configuration

Set a dedicated workspace for projects:

Best Practices

1. Start Small

❌ Bad:

Build a full e-commerce site with user auth, payments, admin dashboard, and inventory management.

✅ Good:

Build a simple product landing page with hero, features, and signup form.

2. Be Specific

❌ Vague:

Make a nice website.

✅ Specific:

Create a Next.js landing page with:

• - Hero section with CTA button
• 3-column feature grid
• Contact form with email validation
• Tailwind CSS styling
• Dark mode support

3. Iterate Incrementally

Phase 1: Basic structure
Phase 2: Add features
Phase 3: Polish & deploy

4. Review Output

5. Provide Examples

Build a landing page similar to https://example.com, but for [your product].

Troubleshooting

"Dev agent didn't complete the task"

Check:

1. 1. Was the task specification clear?
2. Are required tools available (Node.js, Git)?
3. Did the agent hit resource limits?

Solution:

• - Simplify the task
• Check PM agent logs via INLINECODE10
• Try again with clearer requirements

"Code doesn't work"

Check:

1. 1. Dependencies installed? (npm install)
2. Environment variables set?
3. Correct Node.js version?

Solution:

• - Ask PM agent: "The code has errors. Please review and fix."
• The PM will spawn Dev again for corrections

"Task took too long"

Solutions:

• - Break into smaller tasks
• Use faster model for Dev agent (gemini-2.5-flash)
• Simplify requirements
