ClawRecipes is an OpenClaw plugin that provides CLI-first recipes for scaffolding specialist agents and teams from Markdown.

If you like durable workflows: ClawRecipes is built around a file-first team workspace (inbox/backlog/in-progress/testing/done) that plays nicely with git.

When published on npm:

openclaw plugins install @jiggai/recipes

# If you use a plugin allowlist (plugins.allow), you must explicitly trust it:
openclaw config get plugins.allow --json
# then add "recipes" and set it back, e.g.
openclaw config set plugins.allow --json '["memory-core","telegram","recipes"]'

openclaw gateway restart

git clone https://github.com/JIGGAI/ClawRecipes.git ~/clawrecipes

• openclaw recipes list|show|status
• openclaw recipes scaffold (agent → workspace-<agentId> + writes workspace recipe ~/.openclaw/workspace/recipes/<agentId>.md by default)
• openclaw recipes scaffold-team (team → workspace-<teamId> + roles/<role>/ + writes workspace recipe ~/.openclaw/workspace/recipes/<teamId>.md by default)
• openclaw recipes install-skill <idOrSlug> [--yes] [--global|--agent-id <id>|--team-id <id>] (skills: global or scoped)

• openclaw recipes tickets|move-ticket|assign|take|handoff|complete (file-first ticket workflow)
• openclaw recipes cleanup-workspaces (safe cleanup of temporary test/scaffold workspaces)

For full details, see docs/COMMANDS.md.

The plugin supports these config keys (with defaults):

• workspaceRecipesDir (default: recipes)
• workspaceAgentsDir (default: agents)
• workspaceSkillsDir (default: skills)
• workspaceTeamsDir (default: teams)
• autoInstallMissingSkills (default: false)
• confirmAutoInstall (default: true)
• cronInstallation (default: prompt; values: off|prompt|on)

Config schema is defined in openclaw.plugin.json.

For users:

• Installation — install the plugin
• Agents & skills — mental model, tool policies
• Tutorial — create your first recipe
• Commands — full command reference
• Team workflow — file-first workflow

For contributors:

• Architecture — codebase structure
• Contributing — setup, tests, PR workflow

Run:

• npm test
• npm run test:coverage — coverage with CI thresholds (see vitest.config.ts)
• npm run smell-check — quality checks (ESLint, jscpd, pattern grep)

Husky runs on commit. Run npm ci first to install hooks.

A lightweight smoke check validates scaffold-team output contains the required testing workflow docs (ticket 0004).

Run:

• npm run test:smoke (or npm run scaffold:smoke)

Notes:

• Creates a temporary workspace-smoke-<timestamp>-team under ~/.openclaw/ and then deletes it.
• Exits non-zero on mismatch.
• Requires OpenClaw and workspace config.

• docs/ARCHITECTURE.md — codebase structure
• CONTRIBUTING.md — setup, commands, pre-commit, CI

• Commands: docs/COMMANDS.md
• Recipe format: docs/RECIPE_FORMAT.md
• Bundled recipes: docs/BUNDLED_RECIPES.md
• Team workflow: docs/TEAM_WORKFLOW.md

(Also see: GitHub repo https://github.com/JIGGAI/ClawRecipes)

• Workspaces:
  • Standalone agents: ~/.openclaw/workspace-<agentId>/
  • Teams: ~/.openclaw/workspace-<teamId>/ with roles/<role>/...
• Skills:
  • Global (shared): ~/.openclaw/skills/<skill>
  • Scoped (agent/team): ~/.openclaw/workspace-*/skills/<skill>
• Team IDs end with -team; agent IDs are namespaced: <teamId>-<role>.
• Recipe template rendering is intentionally simple: {{var}} replacement only.

ClawRecipes includes a safe uninstall command:

openclaw recipes remove-team --team-id <teamId> --plan --json
openclaw recipes remove-team --team-id <teamId> --yes
openclaw gateway restart

Notes:

• The command is confirmation-gated by default (use --yes to apply).
• Cron cleanup is conservative: it removes only cron jobs that are explicitly stamped with recipes.teamId=<teamId>.
• If you need a manual fallback, you can still delete ~/.openclaw/workspace-<teamId> and remove <teamId>-* agents from agents.list[] in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.

ClawRecipes is meant to be installed and then used to build agents + teams.

Most users should focus on:

• authoring recipes in their OpenClaw workspace (<workspace>/recipes/*.md)
• scaffolding teams (openclaw recipes scaffold-team ...)
• running the file-first workflow (dispatch → backlog → in-progress → testing → done)

• Release Clawmarket, https://github.com/JIGGAI/ClawMarket, public url https://clawkitchen.ai
• Release ClawKitchen, https://github.com/JIGGAI/ClawKitchen
• Merge at least 1 community pull request
• Daily shipping/pull requests of ClawRecipes features
• Improve recipes with more detailed agent files
• Add ability to install skills for agents through ClawKitchen
