OctoClaw provides a TypeScript-first runtime layer for OpenClaw that centralizes policy, delegation, and status management. It defines authority boundaries for reply vs. delegation, prescribes WorkContract-backed native spawns, and maintains a metadata ledger (SQLite projection) for audit and status. The skill documents commands, tool usage patterns, and forbidden legacy paths to ensure safe, audited delegation behavior.
Use OctoClaw when an agent turn requires delegation to a worker or subagent, when you need route decisions (reply vs delegate), or when you must produce verifiable execution evidence for downstream audits. Trigger scenarios include requests to dispatch work, inspect task status, query queue/timeline, or configure model routing and cost budgets.
This skill is targeted at OpenClaw agents and orchestrators that can call internal runtime primitives (sessions_spawn, octoclaw_dispatch, octoclaw_status). It is most relevant for agents running in OpenClaw or similar multi-agent frameworks.
