# Agents, Teams, and Templates

This page covers implemented agent lifecycle, hierarchy views, and template-based creation.

## Agents

Agent records include runtime identity and control fields:

* display identity (`displayName`, `slug`, `runtimeAgentId`)
* lifecycle/status (`idle`, `active`, `blocked`, `error`)
* kind (`worker`, `manager`, `ceo`, `guard`)
* dispatch eligibility and WIP limit
* model + fallback configuration

Default CEO behavior:

* If the OpenClaw runtime agent `main` exists, ClawControl treats it as the default CEO inbox (escalation/notification target).
* On fresh installs and workspace changes, ClawControl scaffolds `agents/main/SOUL.md` and `agents/main/HEARTBEAT.md` create-if-missing.

Workspace contract (recommended):

* Maintain a workspace-root `AGENTS.md` with your governance and hierarchy rules.
* Keep per-agent files under `agents/<id>/`:
  * `SOUL.md`
  * `HEARTBEAT.md`
  * `MEMORY.md`

See [Workspace Files](/reference/workspace-files).

## Agent Actions

Implemented actions include:

* create agent directly
* create from template
* preview template expansion
* provision agent to OpenClaw
* test agent execution
* update agent metadata/state
* set/remove avatar with typed confirmation

## Hierarchy View

Agents page supports list and hierarchy modes backed by `/api/agents/hierarchy`.

## Templates

Agent templates support:

* list/get/create/update/delete
* import/export
* file retrieval per template

## Teams

Teams are managed from the Agents page and support:

* create/edit/delete
* linked workflow/template metadata
* export as team YAML or package bundle
* package deploy ingestion from the shared import flow

## Skills Duplication

Agents workflow includes duplication of global skills into agent scope where supported.
