Parallel specialist lanes：先把底下那条暗线看见

如果把这一段摆成一个小场景，你会看到几样东西正在互相打招呼、拦路或者传东西。别急着记名词，先抓住它此刻到底在发生什么：Parallel specialist lanes let one 门口的小门卫 route different chats or rooms to different 机器人朋友s, while keeping the user exp…。

Parallel specialist lanes let one Gateway route different chats or rooms to different agents, while keeping the user experience fast. The trick is to treat parallelism as a scarce-resource design problem, not just as "more agents".

focused.

• **Session locks**: only one run should mutate a given session at a time.
• **Global model capacity**: all visible chat runs still share provider limits.
• **Tool capacity**: shell, browser, network, and repository work can be slower
• **Context budget**: long transcripts make every future turn slower and less
• **Ownership ambiguity**: duplicate agents doing the same job waste capacity.

OpenClaw already serializes runs per session and caps global parallelism through the command queue. Specialist lanes add policy on top: which agent owns which work, what stays in chat, and what becomes background work.

provide a compact handoff summary.

• **Purpose**: the work this lane owns.
• **Non-goals**: work it should hand off instead of attempting.
• **Chat budget**: quick answers stay in chat; long tasks should acknowledge
• **Handoff rule**: when another lane owns the work, say where it should go and
• **Tool-risk rule**: prefer the smallest tool surface that can do the job.

This is the cheapest phase and fixes most clogging: one coding job no longer turns the research lane into molasses, and each chat keeps its own context clean.

Tune queue and model capacity around the business value of each lane:

{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      maxConcurrent: 4,
      subagents: { maxConcurrent: 8, delegationMode: "prefer" },
    },
  },
  messages: {
    queue: {
      mode: "collect",
      debounceMs: 1000,
      cap: 20,
      drop: "summarize",
    },
  },
}

Use direct/personal chats and production-ops agents for high-priority work. Let research, drafting, and batch coding move to background tasks when the system is busy.

Add a small coordinator pattern once multiple lanes are active:

• Track active lane tasks and owners.
• Detect duplicate requests across groups.
• Route handoff summaries between lanes.
• Surface only blockers, completed results, and decisions the human must make.

Do not start here. A coordinator without lane contracts just coordinates chaos.

这一小段像旁白，在提醒我们镜头已经切到下一站。

# Lane contract

## Owns

- <job this lane is responsible for>

## Does not own

- <work to hand off>

## Chat budget

- Answer quick questions directly.
- For multi-step, slow, or tool-heavy work: acknowledge briefly, spawn/background
  the work, then return the result when complete.

## Handoff

If another lane owns the request, reply with:

- target lane
- objective
- relevant context
- exact next action

## Tool posture

Use the smallest tool surface that can complete the task. Avoid broad shell or
network work unless this lane explicitly owns it.
