How do I install the Open Dynamic Workflows skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add suraj1235/open-dynamic-workflows-2 in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Open Dynamic Workflows safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: executes scripts, makes network calls, reads secrets. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Open Dynamic Workflows?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Open Dynamic Workflows free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Open Dynamic Workflows (OpenClaw)

Run dynamic, multi-agent workflows from OpenClaw via the local Open Dynamic Workflows (ODW) daemon. ODW plans a task, orchestrates parallel agents, and adversarially verifies their output before it lands. Bring your own model (Anthropic, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or local Ollama).

When to use

A task that splits into many independent subtasks worth running in parallel.
Anything that should be verified (adversarial critics) before you trust it.
Work you want to share across OpenClaw, OpenCode, Codex, Antigravity, and VS Code through one orchestration layer.

Step 0 — is the daemon up?

node scripts/daemon-bridge.js --check

Exit 0 → daemon healthy; use the daemon path below.
Exit 1 → install + start it (it is not on npm yet):

git clone https://github.com/Suraj1235/open-dynamic-workflows
cd open-dynamic-workflows && npm install && npm run setup
odw-daemon start

Daemon path

Plan — node scripts/daemon-bridge.js plan "<task>" prints a JSON plan: task graph, topology, roles, hard limits, cost/time estimate.
Confirm — summarize topology / agent count / estimate before doing anything beyond read-only work.
Execute — node scripts/daemon-bridge.js exec plan.json returns a wf_... id; the daemon runs the sandboxed script with concurrent agents, SQLite checkpoints, crash-resume, and a budget hard-stop.
Report — node scripts/daemon-bridge.js result <wf_id> blocks until done; relay the synthesized result.

Safety

Read-only tools are auto-approved; file writes, shell, and git are approval-gated by ODW's config — never mutate without authorization.
Model provider keys live in the environment / ~/.odw/config.json, never in prompts or source.
Respect the per-workflow token/cost budget.

Notes

Same canonical skill as the Codex/Antigravity adapters — only the install path differs. The bundled scripts/daemon-bridge.js is a zero-dependency CommonJS bridge to the daemon's local HTTP API.
