openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Add config option to disable subagent completion notifications in /status [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

To address the issue of cluttered /status output, consider adding a configuration option to control subagent notification behavior, allowing users to choose between silent, summary, or full modes.

Guidance

• Implement the proposed subagentNotifications config option with silent, summary, and full modes to give users control over the level of detail shown in the /status output.
• Consider adding a /status --brief flag as an alternative solution to skip subagent notifications for users who prefer a command-line approach.
• Evaluate the default mode for subagentNotifications to ensure it aligns with the most common user needs, potentially setting it to summary for a balance between information and clutter.
• Test the implementation with various subagent task scenarios to ensure the chosen mode correctly filters or summarizes the output as expected.

Example

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "subagentNotifications": {
        "mode": "summary"
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes

The effectiveness of this solution depends on the specific requirements and workflows of the users. It may be beneficial to gather feedback on the proposed modes and default setting to ensure they meet the needs of the majority of users.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by implementing the subagentNotifications config option, as it provides a flexible solution that caters to different user preferences without requiring significant changes to the existing functionality.
