Agent Deploy & Isolation Skill

WHEN TO USE THIS SKILL

Use this skill when the user says ANY of the following (or similar):

• - "deploy a new agent"
• "add a new agent"
• "create a new agent"
• "set up a new bot"
• "bind a bot to a new agent"
• "add a telegram bot"
• "list agents" or "show agents"
• "remove agent" or "delete agent"

WHAT YOU NEED FROM THE USER

Before running any deploy script, you MUST collect these two values from the user:

If the user provides both in their message, proceed immediately.
If the user is missing one or both, ask for the missing value(s) before proceeding.

HOW TO EXECUTE

Action: DEPLOY a new agent

Run this exact command, replacing <agentId> and <botToken> with the user's values:

CODEBLOCK0

Example: If user says "deploy agent called research with token 123456:ABCdef":
CODEBLOCK1

After the script finishes:

• - If output contains "SUCCESS": tell the user the agent is deployed.
• If output contains "CONFLICT": tell the user the agent already exists.
• If output contains "ERROR": tell the user what went wrong.
• If output contains "ROLLING BACK": tell the user the change was safely reverted.

DO NOT run systemctl restart unless the script output explicitly says to.
The script handles hot-reload automatically for channels and bindings.

Action: LIST all agents

CODEBLOCK2

Show the output table to the user as-is.

Action: REMOVE an agent

Run this exact command, replacing <agentId>:

CODEBLOCK3

Example: If user says "remove the research agent":
CODEBLOCK4

STRICT RULES ??DO NOT VIOLATE

1. 1. NEVER edit openclaw.json directly. Do not use write, edit, apply_patch, or any file editing tool on openclaw.json. The deploy script uses openclaw config set which is the only safe way.
2. NEVER skip the pre-flight check. Always run the full deploy.sh script. Do not try to run individual openclaw config set commands yourself.
3. NEVER change the agentId format. It must be lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only. No spaces, no uppercase, no special characters.
4. NEVER deploy without a valid bot token. The token must match the format: digits:alphanumeric (e.g., 123456789:AAHdqTcvCH1vGWJxfSeofSAs0K5PALDsaw).
5. NEVER modify the main agent. The remove.sh script refuses to remove the main agent. Do not try to work around this.

WHAT THE SCRIPT DOES AUTOMATICALLY

You do NOT need to do any of these manually. The script handles everything:

• - Creates isolated workspace at INLINECODE15
• Adds agent to agents.list with safe defaults:

• - Adds routing binding: <agentId> -> INLINECODE22
• Adds Telegram account with the bot token
• Validates with INLINECODE23
• Auto-rollbacks on any failure
• Merges API keys from BOTH global config (openclaw.json auth.profiles) AND main agent's auth-profiles.json
• Migrates from single-bot to multi-account mode if needed

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the user says the new bot is not responding after deploy:

1. 1. First, check logs: INLINECODE25
2. Look for [telegram] [<agentId>] starting provider in logs
3. If NOT found, restart: INLINECODE27
4. If still not working, run: bash {baseDir}/scripts/list.sh to verify config

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

These are optional. The scripts use sensible defaults:
