OrchardOS

OrchardOS is an OpenClaw plugin that gives your agents a persistent task board. Create projects, add tasks, and let the built-in queue runner dispatch them as subagents automatically.

Install

openclaw plugins install clawhub:openclaw-orchard
openclaw gateway restart

Configure (optional)

Orchard works after install with the plugin entry enabled. If you want to tune models, limits, database path, or queue cadence, configure the orchard plugin entry in openclaw.json.

Common options:

dbPath

roles.executor.model

roles.architect.enabled

limits.maxConcurrentExecutors

queueIntervalMs

Agent tools

Available in every agent session after install:

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | orchard_project_create | Create a new project | | orchard_project_list | List all projects | | orchard_task_add | Add a task to a project | | orchard_task_list | List tasks (filter by project, status) | | orchard_task_done | Mark a task done with a summary | | orchard_task_block | Mark a task blocked with a reason | | orchard_task_comment | Add a comment to a task | | orchard_wake | Trigger the queue runner immediately |

REST API

Main gateway API routes use the normal OpenClaw bearer-token auth model.

| Method | Path | Description | |--------|------|-------------| | GET/POST | /orchard/projects | List / create projects | | GET/POST | /orchard/projects/:id/tasks | List / add tasks | | GET/PUT | /orchard/tasks/:id | Get / update task | | POST | /orchard/tasks/:id/comments | Add comment | | GET | /orchard/tasks/:id/runs | Run history | | POST | /orchard/wake | Trigger queue runner | | GET | /orchard/ui | Web dashboard |

How it works

1. Create a project with a goal 2. Add tasks (ready status) via tools, API, or dashboard 3. Queue runner polls every 5 minutes (configurable), dispatches ready tasks as subagents 4. Executors use orchard_task_done / orchard_task_block to report back 5. Architect wakes when queue is empty to generate new tasks toward the project goal
