OpenGoat

Build AI Autonomous Organizations of OpenClaw Agents.

OpenGoat allows you to build herarchical organizations of AI agents that coordinate work across multiple tools, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, Lovable, and more.

Installation

# Install OpenClaw and OpenGoat
npm i -g openclaw opengoat

# Setup OpenClaw
openclaw onboard

# Start OpenGoat
opengoat start

That's it. Open http://127.0.0.1:19123 and start messaging the CEO. He will take care of the rest.

Alternative: Docker

docker build -t opengoat:latest .
docker run --rm -p 19123:19123 -v opengoat-data:/data/opengoat opengoat:latest

Then open http://127.0.0.1:19123.

From Source (without global npm install)

pnpm install
pnpm build
./bin/opengoat --help

When agents execute commands from their OpenGoat workspace, use the workspace shim:

sh ./opengoat agent list
sh ./opengoat agent info ceo

CLI Quick Start (Optional)

Runtime: Node >=20.11.

npm i -g openclaw opengoat
openclaw onboard
opengoat init
opengoat agent --message "Set up a CTO and two engineers for this project."

Run the production UI server from the CLI:

opengoat start

Restart a running UI server:

opengoat restart

Use an external OpenClaw gateway:

opengoat onboard --external \
  --gateway-url ws://host:18789 \
  --gateway-token <token> \
  --non-interactive

Typical Workflows

Build the organization

opengoat agent create "CTO" --manager --reports-to ceo
opengoat agent create "Engineer" --individual --reports-to cto --skill coding
opengoat agent create "Designer" --individual --reports-to cto
opengoat agent list

Run role-based work

opengoat agent cto --message "Plan the Q2 engineering roadmap and split it into streams."
opengoat agent engineer --message "Implement the auth middleware for this sprint."

Keep session continuity

opengoat agent ceo \
  --session saaslib-planning \
  --message "Create a release checklist for v1.2"

opengoat agent ceo \
  --session saaslib-planning \
  --message "Now draft the changelog"

Operate with tasks

opengoat task create --title "Ship auth" --description "Finish middleware + tests" --owner cto --assign engineer
opengoat task list --as engineer
opengoat task status <task-id> doing

Skills

opengoat skill install og-boards --from /path/to/skill
opengoat skill install jira-tools --from /path/to/skill
opengoat skill list --agent ceo

Role skill behavior:

• OpenClaw agents use role-specific board skills:
  • managers: og-board-manager
  • individuals: og-board-individual
• Non-OpenClaw agents use one board skill: og-boards
