openclaw-hawkins-installer

openclaw-hawkins-installer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from parijatmukherjee/openclaw-hawkins. It costs 167 tokens per session (10,771 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

An installer for openclaw-hawkins, a setup that lets one OpenClaw agent coordinate six separate specialist agents, with optional shared workflow state and shared knowledge. It installs and configures this arrangement on the current host.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the openclaw-hawkins orchestration pattern, including specialist agent workspaces, persistent configuration, a user system service, database-secret handling, and gateway restart.
Why use it?
It packages a multi-agent setup while requiring approval before making host changes and documenting what the installation will modify. This helps the operator understand the impact before installation begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

openclaw-hawkins-installer scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Skill: install openclaw-hawkins

You are installing the openclaw-hawkins multi-agent pattern on the host you have shell access to. The end state: one orchestrator (the Nexusagent:main, typically yourself) coordinating six isolated specialist agents (the Tendrils: system-agent, code-agent, research-agent, data-agent, comm-agent, vision-agent), with optional VINES (durable orchestration state) and VECNA (Hive knowledge sharing).

Once started, this skill runs mostly unattended — every routine decision point has a documented default, and where a default is wrong the failure mode is loud and recoverable. It is not unsupervised carte blanche: it must get the operator's go-ahead before it begins making changes, and it stops to ask before anything outside the documented defaults.

⚠️ Before you start — what this install changes on the host. Surface this to the operator and get an explicit go-ahead before Phase 1:

  • Writes persistent files under $HOME/.openclaw (agent workspaces, AGENTS.md overlays, backups).
  • Installs a user systemd service and an EnvironmentFile, and restarts the OpenClaw gateway.
  • Handles a database password (read from 1Password or the env into a 0600 file; never written to openclaw.json).
  • Enables a plugin that activates on every gateway startup and registers VINES/VECNA tools — this is an ongoing capability, not a one-shot script.
  • VECNA stays disabled unless the operator explicitly opts in; when enabled it reads from and writes to a shared knowledge store outside this host.

If the operator hasn't clearly agreed to these, confirm before proceeding.

Trigger phrases

This is a high-impact installer. Trigger it only on an explicit, unambiguous request to install / set up / upgrade openclaw-hawkins (or its named components) on this host — for example:

  • "Install openclaw-hawkins on this host"
  • "Set up the openclaw-hawkins multi-agent orchestration"
  • "Bootstrap / upgrade openclaw-hawkins"
  • "Deploy the openclaw-hawkins Tendrils / agent swarm"

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
