A2A Delegation Setup

Use this skill when @aramisfa/openclaw-a2a-outbound still needs installation, enablement, configuration, verification, updating, or troubleshooting on the OpenClaw Gateway host.

Do not use this skill for routine runtime delegation after setup is complete. Once the plugin is ready, switch to the bundled remote-agent skill and the remote_agent tool.

Interaction rules

• - Ask before any install, update, restart, or config edit.
• Run commands on the Gateway host that owns the OpenClaw config and plugin installation.
• If shell access is unavailable, provide the exact commands and expected verification steps instead of claiming success.

Use when

• - Install @aramisfa/openclaw-a2a-outbound for the first time.
• Enable openclaw-a2a-outbound in OpenClaw.
• Configure targets or policy settings.
• Verify whether the plugin is actually ready for runtime delegation.
• Update or troubleshoot an existing setup.

Do not use when

• - The plugin is already installed, enabled, configured, and verified, and the task is routine runtime delegation.

Collect or confirm first

• - The target alias to configure.
• The target base URL.
• Whether this target should be the default target.
• Whether direct URL overrides should be allowed through plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.policy.allowTargetUrlOverride.

Inspect current state

Run these first:

CODEBLOCK0

The bundled runtime skill is only eligible when both plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.enabled and plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.enabled are true.

Install or update

For a first install:

CODEBLOCK1

For an update:

CODEBLOCK2

Then ensure the plugin entry itself is enabled:

CODEBLOCK3

Configure readiness

Use openclaw config set ... --strict-json whenever you write booleans or arrays into the plugin config.

Required readiness paths:

• - INLINECODE9
• INLINECODE10
• INLINECODE11

Example commands:

CODEBLOCK4

Replace the example alias, base URL, default-target choice, and URL-override policy with the values you confirmed earlier.

Activate and verify

Use a Gateway restart as the deterministic activation step:

CODEBLOCK5

After the restart, start a new session and verify with:

CODEBLOCK6

If list_targets succeeds and the two enable flags remain true, setup is complete.

Handoff

After setup is complete, stop using this setup skill for normal delegation work. Use the bundled remote-agent skill and the remote_agent tool instead.
