Agent Zero Bridge
Bidirectional communication between Clawdbot and Agent Zero.
When to Use
Complex coding tasks requiring iteration/self-correction
Long-running builds, tests, or infrastructure work
Tasks needing persistent Docker execution environment
Research with many sequential tool calls
User explicitly asks for Agent Zero
Setup (First Time Only)
1. Prerequisites
Node.js 18+ (for built-in fetch)
Agent Zero running (Docker recommended, port 50001)
Clawdbot Gateway with HTTP endpoints enabled
2. Install
# Copy skill to Clawdbot skills directory
cp -r <this-skill-folder> ~/.clawdbot/skills/agent-zero-bridge
# Create config from template
cd ~/.clawdbot/skills/agent-zero-bridge
cp .env.example .env
3. Configure .env
# Agent Zero (get token from A0 settings or calculate from runtime ID)
A0_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:50001
A0_API_KEY=your_agent_zero_token
# Clawdbot Gateway
CLAWDBOT_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:18789
CLAWDBOT_API_TOKEN=your_gateway_token
# For Docker containers reaching host (use your machine's LAN IP)
CLAWDBOT_API_URL_DOCKER=http://192.168.1.x:18789
4. Get Agent Zero Token
# Calculate from A0's runtime ID
import hashlib, base64
runtime_id = "your_A0_PERSISTENT_RUNTIME_ID" # from A0's .env
hash_bytes = hashlib.sha256(f"{runtime_id}::".encode()).digest()
token = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(hash_bytes).decode().replace("=", "")[:16]
print(token)
5. Enable Clawdbot Gateway Endpoints
Add to ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:
{
"gateway": {
"bind": "0.0.0.0",
"auth": { "mode": "token", "token": "your_token" },
"http": { "endpoints": { "chatCompletions": { "enabled": true } } }
}
}
Then: clawdbot gateway restart
6. Deploy Client to Agent Zero Container
docker exec <container> mkdir -p /a0/bridge/lib
docker cp scripts/lib/. <container>:/a0/bridge/lib/
docker cp scripts/clawdbot_client.js <container>:/a0/bridge/
docker cp .env <container>:/a0/bridge/
docker exec <container> sh -c 'echo "DOCKER_CONTAINER=true" >> /a0/bridge/.env'
Usage
Send Task to Agent Zero
node scripts/a0_client.js "Build a REST API with JWT authentication"
node scripts/a0_client.js "Review this code" --attach ./file.py
node scripts/a0_client.js "New task" --new # Start fresh conversation
Check Status
node scripts/a0_client.js status
node scripts/a0_client.js history
node scripts/a0_client.js reset # Clear conversation
Task Breakdown (Creates Tracked Project)
node scripts/task_breakdown.js "Build e-commerce platform"
# Creates notebook/tasks/projects/<name>.md with checkable steps
From Agent Zero → Clawdbot
Inside A0 container:
# Report progress
node /a0/bridge/clawdbot_client.js notify "Working on step 3..."
# Ask for input
node /a0/bridge/clawdbot_client.js "Should I use PostgreSQL or SQLite?"
# Invoke Clawdbot tool
node /a0/bridge/clawdbot_client.js tool web_search '{"query":"Node.js best practices"}'
Troubleshooting
| Error | Fix |
|---|---|
| 401 / API key error | Check A0_API_KEY matches Agent Zero's mcp_server_token |
| Connection refused from Docker | Use host LAN IP in CLAWDBOT_API_URL_DOCKER, ensure gateway binds 0.0.0.0 |
| A0 500 errors | Check Agent Zero's LLM API key (Gemini/OpenAI) is valid |
