OpenGoat

CLI-first runtime for autonomous AI organizations powered by OpenClaw agents.

OpenGoat lets you run a hierarchical team of AI agents with persistent sessions, task delegation, provider bindings, and an optional web UI.

Quick Start

npm i -g openclaw opengoat
openclaw onboard
opengoat onboard
opengoat start

Open http://127.0.0.1:19123 and message ceo.

What OpenGoat Solves

• Build manager and individual agent hierarchies (reportsTo model)
• Route execution through provider-specific runtimes (OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and others)
• Persist multi-session continuity per agent
• Manage tasks with enforceable assignment/update permissions
• Expose an ACP server for IDE/editor integration

Start Here

• Docs Hubs: task-oriented navigation for the full docs set
• Quickstart: production path from install to first run
• Installation: npm, Docker, and source installs
• Organization Runtime: architecture and invariants
• CLI Overview: command map and global flags

Key Runtime Rules

• ceo is the immutable root manager.
• Default entry agent resolves from OPENGOAT_DEFAULT_AGENT, then config.defaultAgent, then ceo.
• Sessions are preserved per agent + session key/id.
• OpenGoat is the source of truth for organization structure.
• Agent execution behavior is skill-driven, not an internal planner loop.
