Covers three capability tiers (read-only, send-on-behalf, proactive), M365 and Google Workspace delegation setup, security guardrails, and integration with multi-agent routing. AI-assisted: Claude Code (Opus 4.6) Based on: Production deployment at a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) * docs: address review — add Google DWD warning, fix canvas in deny list - Add security warning for Google Workspace domain-wide delegation matching the existing M365 application access policy warning - Add "canvas" to the security guardrails tool deny list for consistency with the full example and multi-agent.md Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) * docs: fix Tier 1 description to match read-only permissions Remove "draft replies (saved to Drafts folder)" from Tier 1 since saving drafts requires write access. Tier 1 is strictly read-only — the agent summarizes and flags via chat, human acts on the mailbox. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) * style: fix oxfmt formatting for delegate-architecture and docs.json Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) * docs: fix broken links to /automation/standing-orders Standing orders is a deployment pattern, not an existing doc page. Replaced with inline descriptions and links to /automation/cron-jobs and #security-guardrails anchor. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) * docs: move hardening to prerequisites before identity provider setup Restructure per community feedback: isolation, tool restrictions, sandbox, hard blocks, and audit trail now come BEFORE granting any credentials. The most dangerous step (tenant-wide permissions) no longer precedes the most important step (scoping and isolation). Also strengthened M365 and Google Workspace security warnings with actionable verification steps. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) * docs: add standing orders guide and fix broken links Add docs/automation/standing-orders.md covering: - Why standing orders (agent autonomy vs human bottleneck) - Anatomy of a standing order (scope, triggers, gates, escalation) - Integration with cron jobs for time-based enforcement - Execute-Verify-Report pattern for execution discipline - Three production-tested examples (content, finance, monitoring) - Multi-program architecture for complex agents - Best practices (do's and don'ts) Update delegate-architecture.md to link standing orders references to the new page instead of dead links. Add standing-orders to Automation nav group in docs.json (en + zh-CN). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) * docs: address review feedback on standing-orders - P1: Clarify that standing orders should go in AGENTS.md (auto-injected) rather than arbitrary subdirectory files. Add Tip callout explaining which workspace files are bootstrapped. - P2: Remove dead /concepts/personality-files link, replace with /concepts/agent-workspace which covers bootstrap files.

Instead of giving individual task instructions each time, you define programs with clear scope, triggers, and escalation rules — and the agent executes autonomously within those boundaries. + +This is the difference between telling your assistant "send the weekly report" every Friday vs. granting standing authority: "You own the weekly report.

The recommended approach is to include them directly in `AGENTS.md` (which is auto-injected every session) so the agent always has them in context.

The workspace bootstrap automatically injects `AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `TOOLS.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`, and `MEMORY.md` — but not arbitrary files in subdirectories. + + +## Anatomy of a Standing Order + +```markdown +## Program: Weekly Status Report + +**Authority:** Compile data, generate report, deliver to stakeholders +**Trigger:** Every Friday at 4 PM (enforced via cron job) +**Approval gate:** None for standard reports. Flag anomalies for human review. +**Escalation:** If data source is unavailable or metrics look unusual (>2σ from norm) + +### Execution Steps +1. Pull metrics from configured sources +2.

Log completion to Agent/Logs/ + +### What NOT to Do +- Do not send reports to external parties +- Do not modify source data +- Do not skip delivery if metrics look bad — report accurately +``` + +## Standing Orders + Cron Jobs + +Standing orders define **what** the agent is authorized to do. [Cron jobs](/automation/cron-jobs) define **when** it happens. They work together: + +``` +Standing Order: "You own the daily inbox triage" + ↓ +Cron Job (8 AM daily): "Execute inbox triage per standing orders" + ↓ +Agent: Reads standing orders → executes steps → reports results +``` + +The cron job prompt should reference the standing order rather than duplicating it: + +```bash +openclaw cron create \ + --name daily-inbox-triage \ + --cron "0 8 * * 1-5" \ + --tz America/New_York \ + --timeout-seconds 300 \ + --announce \ + --channel bluebubbles \ + --to "+1XXXXXXXXXX" \ + --message "Execute daily inbox triage per standing orders.

Recommendations require owner approval. +**Trigger:** New data file detected OR scheduled monthly cycle + +### When New Data Arrives +1. Detect new file in designated input directory +2.

Every task in a standing order should follow this loop: + +1. **Execute** — Do the actual work (don't just acknowledge the instruction) +2. **Verify** — Confirm the result is correct (file exists, message delivered, data parsed) +3. **Report** — Tell the owner what was done and what was verified + +```markdown +### Execution Rules +- Every task follows Execute-Verify-Report. No exceptions. +- "I'll do that" is not execution. Do it, then report. +- "Done" without verification is not acceptable. Prove it. +- If execution fails: retry once with adjusted approach. +- If still fails: report failure with diagnosis. Never silently fail. +- Never retry indefinitely — 3 attempts max, then escalate. +``` + +This pattern prevents the most common agent failure mode: acknowledging a task without completing it. + +## Multi-Program Architecture + +For agents managing multiple concerns, organize standing orders as separate programs with clear boundaries: + +```markdown +# Standing Orders + +## Program 1: [Domain A] (Weekly) +... + +## Program 2: [Domain B] (Monthly + On-Demand) +... + +## Program 3: [Domain C] (As-Needed) +... + +## Escalation Rules (All Programs) +- [Common escalation criteria] +- [Approval gates that apply across programs] +``` + +Each program should have: +- Its own **trigger cadence** (weekly, monthly, event-driven, continuous) +- Its own **approval gates** (some programs need more oversight than others) +- Clear **boundaries** (the agent should know where one program ends and another begins) + +## Best Practices + +### Do +- Start with narrow authority and expand as trust builds +- Define explicit approval gates for high-risk actions +- Include "What NOT to do" sections — boundaries matter as much as permissions +- Combine with cron jobs for reliable time-based execution +- Review agent logs weekly to verify standing orders are being followed +- Update standing orders as your needs evolve — they're living documents + +### Don't +- Grant broad authority on day one ("do whatever you think is best") +- Skip escalation rules — every program needs a "when to stop and ask" clause +- Assume the agent will remember verbal instructions — put everything in the file +- Mix concerns in a single program — separate programs for separate domains +- Forget to enforce with cron jobs — standing orders without triggers become suggestions + +## Related + +- [Cron Jobs](/automation/cron-jobs) — Schedule enforcement for standing orders +- [Agent Workspace](/concepts/agent-workspace) — Where standing orders live, including the full list of auto-injected bootstrap files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, etc.) diff --git a/docs/concepts/delegate-architecture.md b/docs/concepts/delegate-architecture.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..af60c1c4e60 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/concepts/delegate-architecture.md @@ -0,0 +1,296 @@ +--- +summary: "Delegate architecture: running OpenClaw as a named agent on behalf of an organization" +title: Delegate Architecture +read_when: "You want an agent with its own identity that acts on behalf of humans in an organization." +status: active +--- + +# Delegate Architecture + +Goal: run OpenClaw as a **named delegate** — an agent with its own identity that acts "on behalf of" people in an organization.
