Exploring Clawe: Open-source Multi-agent Coordination System

Clawe is a multi-agent coordination system built on top of OpenClaw, designed to manage and visualize agent workflows. It handles tasks like coordinating AI agents, scheduling actions, and managing task states, which is particularly useful for activities such as content review and maintenance. Clawe provides a clear structure to let agents operate with specific roles and responsibilities while offering explicit handoffs to human operators.

The setup requires Docker and Docker Compose, along with a Convex account and Anthropic API key. Upon cloning the repository using git clone https://github.com/getclawe/clawe.git, you configure the environment variables in the .env file. Deploy the backend using Convex with npx convex deploy and start the system in production mode via ./scripts/start.sh.

Clawe includes a web dashboard for managing tasks and monitoring agent status. Pre-configured agents like Clawe Squad Lead, Inky Content Editor, Pixel Designer, and Scout SEO wake on scheduled heartbeats, working in Kanban-style task management to ensure continuous workflow execution.

Suitable for teams using AI coding agents for automated tasks, Clawe enhances the manageability and transparency of agent workflows, reducing reliance on manual log inspections.
