AI agents

Edict (Three Departments and Six Ministries)

Organises a team of AI agents like an ancient Chinese government, with planning, review and execution roles.

What it does

Edict is a system for coordinating several AI agents, built on the OpenClaw agent platform. It copies a structure from imperial China, where one office plans a task, another reviews and can reject the plan, and a third hands the work to specialist departments.

Its makers say this built-in review step leads to more reliable results. A live dashboard shows every task's progress and history, and lets you pause, cancel or resume work, check agent health and switch AI models.

The README is in Chinese, with English and Japanese versions available.

Who it's for

OpenClaw users and developers interested in multi-agent setups with checks and full records.

Can I use it without coding?

With some setup. A one-line Docker command runs a demo dashboard; real use needs OpenClaw. New to this? Start here.

Can I run it?

Cost
Free, but needs an AI accountThe software is free, but it uses an online AI service (like OpenAI or Anthropic), which usually charges for use.
Runs on
Mac, Linux
Privacy
Sends what you give it to an online service
API key
Needed. An API key is a password-like code from an online AI service. What's that?

Try it

  1. Try the ready-made demo dashboard with Docker, then open it in your web browser.
  2. For the full version, install OpenClaw first on a Mac or Linux computer.
  3. Run the project's install script and add your AI API key when asked.
