Antfarm is a workflow tool for OpenClaw that coordinates specialized AI agents, such as planners, developers, testers, verifiers, and reviewers, to complete software tasks together. It is used for repeatable feature development, security audits, and bug fixes that produce tested pull requests. The catalogue add-on provides Antfarm-related agent instructions and skills.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00052 | $0.01032 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00516 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00206 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00103 |
Grade A, and why
antfarm-workflows scanned grade A with 0 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 11d 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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Antfarm
Multi-agent workflow pipelines on OpenClaw. Each workflow is a sequence of specialized agents (planner, developer, verifier, tester, reviewer) that execute autonomously via cron jobs polling a shared SQLite database.
All CLI commands use the full path to avoid PATH issues:
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js <command>
Shorthand used below: antfarm-cli means node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js.
Workflows
| Workflow | Pipeline | Use for |
|---|---|---|
feature-dev |
plan -> setup -> develop (stories) -> verify -> test -> PR -> review | New features, refactors |
bug-fix |
triage -> investigate -> setup -> fix -> verify -> PR | Bug reports with reproduction steps |
security-audit |
scan -> prioritize -> setup -> fix -> verify -> test -> PR | Codebase security review |
Core Commands

# Check a run
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow status "<task or run-id prefix>"
# List all runs
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow runs
# Resume a failed run from the failed step
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js workflow resume <run-id>
# View logs

node ~/.openclaw/workspace/antfarm/dist/cli/cli.js dashboard stop
Before Starting a Run
The task string is the contract between you and the agents. A vague task produces bad results.
Always include in the task string:
- What to build/fix (specific, not vague)
- Key technical details and constraints
- Acceptance criteria (checkboxes)
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

antfarm-workflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository snarktank/antfarm (2,499 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,032 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
