OpenClaw user shares architecture for 43-agent production system
A developer has shared the architecture of a 43-agent OpenClaw system they've been running in production for their branding consultancy business, which serves over 1,000 clients. The system uses a layered architecture rather than just SOUL.md templates.
Architecture layers
The system is organized into five main layers with specialized agents:
- Layer 0 — Command: NEXUS, FRIEREN, SAGE
- Layer 1 — Intelligence: RADAR, SCOUT, ORACLE, ARC, YIELD
- Layer 2 — Content: ECHO, KIRA, STORM, DANTE, PINE, INK, VIBE, ATLAS
- Layer 3 — Tech: LUMEN, FLUX, BYTE, PULSE, VAULT, HELIX, FLOW
- Layer 4 — Sales: ARIA, HYPE, HEIST, CASH, LEAD, NOVA, DRIP, MAP
Specialist agents
Additional specialized agents include: PIXEL, CANVAS, NANO, WIRE, REEL, CLIP, LENS, TREND, MIRROR, and more.
Agent structure details
The FRIEREN agent is the most developed, consisting of 15 files including directories for memory and skills, plus configuration files like HEARTBEAT.md and IDENTITY.md.
The developer notes they've finally packaged everything into a releasable system and are open to questions about how they structured it.
