Summary

Request

Does OpenClaw support (or plan to support): • Task completion callbacks • Built-in state tracking (pending/running/finished) • Result persistence • Event-driven triggers for other Skills

Problem to solve

Background

We have a Skill built on OpenClaw that triggers backend processing asynchronously: 1. User / Skill triggers task 2. Backend immediately returns “processing” 3. Backend processes task asynchronously 4. Result is sent to the user via IM

Current limitations: • OpenClaw does not store results • Skills have no task state or callback • Results exist only in IM messages

Problems to Solve 1. Allow asynchronous callbacks from Skills when tasks complete 2. Persist results so other Skills can consume them 3. Provide task state tracking and querying 4. Support event-driven orchestration for multi-Skill workflows

Proposed solution

Support for Asynchronous Callback and Result Persistence in Skills for Workflow Orchestration

Alternatives considered

No response

Impact

Impact • Developers: Cannot compose multi-step workflows or reuse Skill results • End users: Cannot access results in a structured way outside IM messages • Platform: Data and capabilities cannot be accumulated or reused, limiting scalability

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing task completion callbacks, built-in state tracking, and result persistence in OpenClaw is likely necessary to support asynchronous workflows and improve scalability.

Guidance

  • Identify the key components required for asynchronous workflow support, including task completion callbacks, state tracking, and result persistence.
  • Determine the feasibility of integrating these components into the existing OpenClaw architecture.
  • Consider the impact of these changes on developers, end users, and the platform as a whole.
  • Evaluate potential alternatives for achieving similar functionality, such as using external workflow management tools.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without further information on the OpenClaw architecture and implementation details.

Notes

The lack of information on the current OpenClaw implementation and potential constraints limits the ability to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing a custom solution for task completion callbacks, state tracking, and result persistence, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned in the issue. This is because the issue implies that OpenClaw currently lacks these features, and a custom solution may be necessary to achieve the desired functionality.
