Multi-agent orchestration patterns from operators running 10+ agents in production for 30+ days - SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md optimization — token efficiency, what fields matter vs. waste budget - Approval workflow design — what's safe to automate vs. requires human-in-loop in regulated environments - Session reset and heartbeat configuration patterns proving stable at scale - Context window management — truncation prevention, bootstrapMaxChars tuning for large fleets - Security hardening patterns: gateway bind settings, auth token config, skill verification workflows - Delivery fallback patterns — external canary, SMTP fallback, ntfy.sh implementations (this is an active gap in the current setup) - Cron fleet management at 40+ jobs — scheduling, failure alerting, retry logic Category 4 — Cost & Model Optimization - Community-reported API spend breakdowns for multi-agent setups (Sonnet/Haiku/GPT-4o-mini split strategies) - Token usage patterns for large cron fleets - Model routing configs — when to use Haiku vs. Sonnet vs. GPT-4o-mini for specific task types - Any cost optimization discoveries saving >$20/month for comparable setups Category 5 — Community Intelligence (High-Signal Only) - Podcast episodes, YouTube walkthroughs, Substack deep dives from operators with verified production setups (30+ days, 10+ agents) - GitHub repositories with documented real workflows and commit history — not starter templates - Any new content from Peter Steinberger or core OpenClaw contributors - Community forum threads where operators report real problems and solutions at scale DECISION TRIGGERS: -
