Run multiple role-based OpenClaw agents with supervision
A commenter runs several OpenClaw agents, one per role, with memory, wiki links and graph search, and checks that their actions still match the original intent. ·
Done withOpenClaw
- What they did
- One commenter said they run multiple OpenClaw agents, one per role. Another described a setup layer around tool-using agents that checks each proposed action against the session’s original intent, records the session, and analyzes behavior at the action, whole-session, and cross-session level so a person only reviews the high-risk or off-pattern cases.
- How it went
- The thread gives scale more than metrics: one person said they handle 5–15 OpenClaw sessions, while another said supervision matters because agents can quietly drift into unrelated but technically allowed work. No hard performance results were provided.
- Worth knowing
- The clearest catch is monitoring load: the commenter suggested keeping the human-facing queue small and only surfacing high-risk, misaligned, or unusual actions instead of watching every session manually.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Help me set up several agents, one for each role: [role 1, role 2, role 3]. Give each its own memory and instructions, link their notes in a shared wiki, and add a weekly check that compares what each agent did against my original intent for it: [goals]. Stop when all agents are configured and you've given me a sample review report. Ask me before any agent sends messages or changes files outside its area.
