agent-lifecycle-manager
Manage full OpenClaw agent lifecycle operations on a node: create/register agents, configure channel bindings, inherit credentials, approve pairing, archive and delete agents, refresh status dashboards, and write lifecycle change logs. Use when a user asks to onboard a new agent, reconfigure an existing agent, retire/archive/delete agents, or maintain agent status boards and lifecycle audit records.
Best use case
agent-lifecycle-manager is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

# Agent Lifecycle Manager Use this skill to execute repeatable, low-error lifecycle operations for OpenClaw agents. ## Workflow 1. Collect required inputs 2. Run lifecycle action (create/configure/archive/delete/status) 3. Verify runtime status (`openclaw status`, `openclaw agents list`) 4. Refresh dashboard files 5. Append lifecycle log entry If deleting an agent, always archive first and require explicit confirmation. ## Required inputs by action - Create + Telegram bind: - `AGENT_ID` - `TELEGRAM_TOKEN` - optional `WORKSPACE` (default: `~/.openclaw/workspace-<AGENT_ID>`) - Pairing approval (separate step): - `AGENT_ID` - `PAIRING_CODE` (obtained only after user sends `/start` to the bot) - Reconfigure: - `AGENT_ID` - changed fields (model/routes/channel token/etc.) - Archive/Delete: - `AGENT_ID` - archive destination (default under `state/archive/<AGENT_ID>/`) ## Command playbook Read `references/openclaw-agent-lifecycle-playbook.md` before running uncommon operations. For deterministic execution, use scripts in this skill: - `scripts/create-telegram-agent.sh` - `scripts/approve-telegram-pairing.sh` - `scripts/archive-agent.sh` - `scripts/delete-agent-safe.sh` - `scripts/refresh-dashboard.sh` - `scripts/lifecycle-log.sh` ## Execution rules - Prefer `openclaw` CLI over ad-hoc file edits. - Configure bindings via `openclaw config get/set` (append entry; do not overwrite blindly). - Do not restart gateway by default after binding/config changes. - Use pairing command with explicit channel flag: `openclaw pairing approve <PAIRING_CODE> --channel telegram`. - Never hard-delete before successful archive. - For deletion, prefer `scripts/delete-agent-safe.sh` (archive verification + explicit confirmation + cleanup + logging). - After every lifecycle change, run dashboard refresh + lifecycle logging. ## Minimal post-change verification Run: ```bash openclaw agents list --json openclaw status --json openclaw gateway status --json ``` Confirm: - target agent exists (or is absent after deletion) - expected bindings/routes are present - gateway runtime is healthy and RPC probe is ok
