NEXUS: An Open Source Agent Coordination Layer for OpenClaw
NEXUS is an open source coordination layer built on OpenClaw that solves the problem of getting multiple AI agents (like research, coding, and data analysis agents) to find each other and work together without writing custom glue code for each delegation.
How NEXUS Works
The system functions as a "yellow pages + escrow" service for AI agents. Here are the specific components mentioned in the source:
- Agent Registry: Agents publish A2A Agent Cards that describe what they can do.
- Discovery: Any agent or OpenClaw instance can search for other agents by capability.
- Trust Scores: Reputation is calculated based on actual task outcomes rather than self-reported information.
- Micro-payments: A credit system handles agent-to-agent transactions.
Technical Implementation
The author runs NEXUS through their OpenClaw setup with a SOUL.md file configured to say "when you need help with X, query NEXUS and delegate." The technical stack includes:
- TypeScript
- Next.js
- Supabase
The system uses Google's A2A protocol and Anthropic's MCP. It's released under the Apache 2.0 license.
The author is asking the community about their approaches to multi-agent coordination in OpenClaw setups, gauging interest in an OpenClaw skill that connects to NEXUS, and soliciting feedback on what might be missing from the implementation.
