HiClaw Core Features
HiClaw delivers a comprehensive suite of AI Agent team collaboration capabilities — from task management and dynamic worker orchestration to multi-channel communication and a vast skills ecosystem.
Core Capabilities
Multi-Agent Coordination
Coordinate multiple agents using natural language. For example: "Create a Worker named alice for frontend development".
Dynamic Worker Creation
The HiClaw Manager dynamically creates Workers, assigns tasks, and monitors progress. Workers can be spun up or torn down on demand.
Human-in-the-Loop
Humans can intervene naturally in any shared room at any time — making decisions instead of babysitting agents.
Periodic Heartbeats
The HiClaw Manager automatically detects stuck workers and takes corrective action to keep tasks moving forward. See the Manager Guide.
File Synchronization
Centralized MinIO-based storage with real-time sync via mc mirror. Workers remain stateless by design.
Security by Design
Workers only hold consumer tokens — never real API keys. Credentials are centrally managed in the AI Gateway.

HiClaw Worker Skills
HiClaw Worker Agents receive their skills dynamically from the Manager at creation time:
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
github-operations | GitHub PR and issue management |
git-delegation | Request git operations from the HiClaw Manager |
coding-cli | Request AI coding CLI execution from the Manager |
find-skills | Browse and discover skills from the skills.sh ecosystem |
file-sync | Real-time workspace synchronization with MinIO |
Multi-Channel Support
HiClaw connects to a wide range of instant messaging platforms beyond its native Matrix protocol:
- Matrix — Core communication protocol, supporting Element Web/Desktop/Mobile clients
- Discord — Bridged via the channel-management skill
- Feishu (Lark) — Enterprise-grade integration
- Telegram — Lightweight mobile access
- Extensible — The channel architecture supports adding new platforms
Learn more about the communication layer in the HiClaw Architecture documentation.
Skills Ecosystem
HiClaw is built on the OpenClaw agent framework and connects to 80,000+ skills from skills.sh. Workers can browse and install new capabilities through the find-skills skill, enabling virtually unlimited extensibility.
