## What it does

The skill configures an OpenClaw multi-agent workflow based on historical imperial governance principles. Incoming requests land with `taizi` for intake, move to `zhongshu` for decomposition into smaller jobs, and pass through `menxia` before dispatching. The `menxia` agent acts as a mandatory review barrier that can reject plans and mandate revisions.

Execution happens through specialized ministry agents covering areas like engineering, data, strategy, and compliance. The system includes a React-based kanban dashboard running on port `7891`, powered by a local Python server and WebSockets. Model assignments can be adjusted per agent directly in the dashboard interface.

Running the full setup demands OpenClaw, Python 3.9+, Node.js 18+, and a Linux or macOS environment. On Windows, execution requires WSL2 or running the prebuilt container via Docker.
