FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an automated Tech Lead agent to coordinate developer and QA workflows?

To set up a Tech Lead agent, you need to orchestrate Slack and optionally Linear integrations by gathering channel details, agent IDs, and API credentials into a central configuration file.

What is needed to connect Slack and Linear to orchestrate developer and QA agents?

Connecting Slack and Linear requires gathering your Slack channel details, agent Slack IDs, developer and QA OpenClaw IDs, and an optional Linear API key to generate the central configuration file.

Can I configure a Tech Lead agent without a Linear API key?

Yes, you can configure a Tech Lead agent without a Linear API key because Linear integration is optional, but you must provide Slack channel details and agent IDs to generate the configuration file.

How do I generate the central configuration file for downstream agent orchestration?

You generate the central configuration file by completing the guided setup checklist that collects Slack and Linear credentials, which then outputs the tech-lead-config.json file for downstream skills.

What downstream skills read the configuration file generated during Tech Lead agent setup?

The configuration file generated during setup is read by downstream skills including manage-ticket, orchestrate-dev-qa, and ticket-monitor to coordinate your Developer and QA agents.

Why does my Tech Lead agent setup require specific OpenClaw IDs for developer and QA agents?

Setup requires specific OpenClaw IDs for developer and QA agents because the Tech Lead agent uses these identifiers to orchestrate task coordination and communication across your automated workflow.
