+description: Onboard new agents into OpenClaw. Use when creating a new agent, adding an agent to the system, or setting up a new agent workspace. Triggers on requests like "new agent", "add agent", "create agent", "recruit agent", "onboard agent".

+
+# Recruitment Skill
+
+Onboard new agents into OpenClaw with binding configuration.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+new-agent --type openclaw --agent-id <agent-id> [--model <primary-model>]
+
+new-agent --type contractor --contractor-provider <claude|gemini> --agent-id <agent-id>
+```
+
+## Workflow
+
+The `new-agent` script executes these steps:
+
+1. **Register agent**:
+   - `openclaw`: runs `openclaw agents add {agent-id} --model {primary-model} --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace/workspace-{agent-id} --non-interactive`
+   - `contractor`: requires `contractor-agent` plugin; runs `openclaw contractor-agents add --agent-id {agent-id} --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace/workspace-{agent-id} --contractor {contractor-provider}`
+
+2. **Wait for bindings**:
+   - Poll `openclaw config get bindings` every 10s until `interviewee` accountId is no longer present
+   - Check `~/.openclaw/states/bindings.lock` exists → wait every 10s until it disappears
+
+3. **Set bindings**:
+   - Create `~/.openclaw/states/bindings.lock`
+   - Fetch current bindings, append entry:
+     ```json
+     {
+       "agentId": "{agent-id}",
+       "match": {
+         "channel": "discord",
+         "accountId": "interviewee"
+       }
+     }
+     ```
+   - Write back with `openclaw config set`
+   - Delete `bindings.lock`
+
+4. **Configure interviewee account**:
+   ```bash
+   openclaw config set channels.discord.accounts.interviewee {
+     "enabled": true,
+     "token": "<secret-mgr get-secret --key interviewee-discord-token>",
+     "groupPolicy": "open",
+     "streaming": { "mode": "off" }
+   }
+   ```
