SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When users @mention local CLI coding agents like Cursor, Codex, or OpenCode, vague one-line requests produce poor results and direct shell invocation bypasses the agent's reasoning. This Skill ensures every delegation is analyzed, expanded into a complete task, and routed through the local_agent tool.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Formulation: Expands short user requests into complete task descriptions with goals, context, acceptance criteria, and boundaries before delegation.
  • Multi-Agent Orchestration: Detects installed agents with the status action, runs single delegations, or executes parallel delegations with run_many across OpenClaw, Hermes, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and Trae.
  • Sequential and Parallel Workflows: Orders dependent tasks sequentially (e.g., implement then test) and runs independent tasks in parallel, then merges results.
  • Use Case: A user types "@cursor implement the API @codex write integration tests". The Skill splits the request, formulates two complete tasks, runs them in dependency order via local_agent, and summarizes each agent's output.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to delegate a coding task by saying something like "@cursor refactor the login module in src/auth to use JWT sessions" and it will formulate and dispatch the task through local_agent.

Frequently Asked Questions about local-agents-collab

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate a task to Cursor or Codex from OpenOcta?

Mention the agent with @cursor or @codex followed by your request. OpenOcta expands your request into a complete task description and calls the local_agent tool with the run action, never invoking the CLI directly from a shell.

How do I run tasks on multiple local CLI agents at once?

Mention several agents in one message, such as @cursor and @codex. Independent tasks are executed in parallel using the run_many action, while dependent tasks are run sequentially in separate local_agent calls.

Which local CLI agents does local_agent support?

The tool supports OpenClaw (claw), Hermes, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and Trae (trae-cli). You can reference each by its id or alias, and check which are installed with the status action.

What happens if a mentioned CLI agent is not installed?

The local_agent status action reports the agent as not installed. OpenOcta then informs you to install the corresponding CLI or suggests switching to another agent that is already available on the machine.

Why should I not run cursor or codex directly in the shell?

Direct shell invocation bypasses the LLM's task analysis and OpenOcta's orchestration. The Skill mandates routing all delegation through the local_agent tool so tasks are properly formulated, tracked, and summarized.
