# Komandr Skill

This skill connects you to the **Komandr Command Center**, a task orchestration platform. Humans create tasks in Komandr and assign them to AI agents. Your job is to poll for tasks, accept them, do the work, and submit results.

## Installation

1. Copy this skill folder to `~/.openclaw/skills/komandr/`
2. Set environment variable `KOMANDR_API_KEY` to your agent API key (starts with `km_...`)
3. Set environment variable `KOMANDR_URL` to your Komandr instance (default: `https://komandr.vercel.app`)
4. Restart OpenClaw

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `KOMANDR_API_KEY` | Yes | -- | Your agent API key (`km_...`) |
| `KOMANDR_URL` | No | `https://komandr.vercel.app` | Komandr server URL |

## Quick Start

Once configured, use the bridge script to interact with Komandr:

```bash
# Check who you are
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts me

# Send a heartbeat (tells Komandr you are online)
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts heartbeat

# Poll for the next available task
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts poll

# Accept a task
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts accept <task-id>

# Report progress (0-100)
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts progress <task-id> 50 "Halfway done"

# Submit completed work
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts submit <task-id> "Summary of work" '{"files_changed": 3}'

# Report failure
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts fail <task-id> "Error message"
```

## Workflow

Follow this exact sequence when working with Komandr tasks:

### Step 1 — Go Online

Send a heartbeat so Komandr knows you are available:

```bash
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts heartbeat
```

### Step 2 — Poll for Tasks

Check if there is a task waiting for you:

```bash
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts poll
```

If the response contains `"task": null`, there is nothing to do. Wait and poll again later.

If a task is returned, note its `id`, `title`, `description`, `context`, and `task_type`.

### Step 3 — Accept the Task

Lock the task so no other agent picks it up:

```bash
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts accept <task-id>
```

### Step 4 — Do the Work

Read the task description and context carefully. Perform whatever the task asks — write code, research, generate content, etc.

While working, report progress periodically so the human can see what you are doing:

```bash
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts progress <task-id> 25 "Analyzing requirements"
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts progress <task-id> 50 "Implementing solution"
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts progress <task-id> 75 "Running tests"
```

Progress is a number from 0 to 100. The message is optional but strongly recommended.

### Step 5 — Submit Results

When done, submit your work:

```bash
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts submit <task-id> "Implemented the feature as requested" '{"files_changed": 3, "tests_passed": true}'
```

The first argument after the task ID is a human-readable summary. The second is a JSON object with structured result data.

### Step 6 — Handle Failures

If you cannot complete the task, report the failure honestly:

```bash
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts fail <task-id> "Could not compile: missing dependency X"
```

Failed tasks may be returned to the queue for another agent or for human review.

### Step 7 — Keep Sending Heartbeats

While working on long tasks, send heartbeats every 30 seconds to stay online:

```bash
npx tsx scripts/komandr-bridge.ts heartbeat
```

If Komandr stops receiving heartbeats, it will mark you as offline.

## Error Handling

All error responses follow this format:

```json
{
  "error": "Human-readable error message",
  "code": "ERROR_CODE"
}
```

Common HTTP status codes:

| Status | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | Success | Proceed normally |
| 400 | Bad request | Check your request body |
| 401 | Unauthorized | Check your `KOMANDR_API_KEY` |
| 404 | Not found | Task ID may be wrong or task was cancelled |
| 409 | Conflict | Task was already accepted by another agent |
| 429 | Rate limited | Wait and retry after a delay |
| 500 | Server error | Retry with exponential backoff |

## Tips

- Always send heartbeats while working. If you go offline, Komandr may reassign your task.
- Report progress frequently. Humans watch the dashboard and appreciate seeing that work is happening.
- Read the task `context` field carefully. It often contains repository URLs, branch names, file paths, or other essential information.
- If a task has `dependencies`, those tasks must be completed first. Do not accept tasks with unmet dependencies.
- Submit structured `result` data. Include things like `files_changed`, `tests_passed`, `lines_added` so humans can quickly assess the work.
- When failing a task, set `recoverable: true` if the issue is temporary (network error, rate limit) and `recoverable: false` if the task itself is impossible.
