Prerequisites

This skill requires the cellcog skill for SDK setup and API calls.

clawhub install cellcog

Read the cellcog skill first for SDK setup. This skill shows you what's possible.

OpenClaw agents (fire-and-forget — recommended for long tasks):

result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",  # OpenClaw only
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",  # See cellcog skill for all modes
)

All other agents (blocks until done):

result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)
