OpenClaw skill

codeconductor

CodeConductor is an OpenClaw skill that enables AI agents to orchestrate code generation, execution, testing, and debugging through a structured, multi-step workflow. It supports planning code structure, writing code in supported languages, executing it safely, and iterating based on results and feedback. The skill provides tools for safe code interpretation and refinement without direct system access.

How this skill works

  • Triggered by task category 'code'
  • Uses llm tool
  • Parses the task input to identify language, framework, and key requirements
  • Uses LLM to create a detailed plan including file structure, modules, and implementation strategy
  • Generates initial code skeleton based on the plan
  • Fills in the code skeleton with functional logic
  • Generates unit tests for the code
  • LLM reviews the code for errors, best practices, and improvements
  • If issues found, iterates on previous phases
  • Formats final code with README, comments, and execution instructions
  • Maintains internal state tracking current phase and previous outputs
  • Each phase uses context-aware prompts referencing prior outputs
  • Retries failed LLM calls up to 3 times
  • Validates generated code syntax before final output

When to use it

  • When tasked with solving a programming problem requiring code generation, execution, and debugging in Python
  • When needing to iteratively develop and test code in a sandboxed REPL environment to achieve a computational goal

Best practices

  • Set either OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable
  • Secure API keys using environment variables, not hardcoded
  • Be specific in prompts including language, frameworks, and requirements
  • Provide context by referencing existing files or previous conversations
  • Build incrementally by iterating on smaller tasks
  • Always review code changes before approving execution
  • Use natural language as if talking to a senior engineer
  • Approve terminal commands only after review
  • Test generated code thoroughly

Example use cases

  • Prototyping applications: Agents prototype applications by generating, editing, executing, and testing code in isolated environments.
  • Data analysis: Agents perform data analysis tasks using code generation, dependency installation, and execution for Python scripts.
  • Algorithm implementation: Agents implement and test algorithms by creating code files, running them, and iterating based on output.
  • Complex programming tasks: Agents handle complex programming tasks through multi-file project management, editing, debugging, and sandboxed execution.
