This lets you manage Docker, Kubernetes, and GitOps operations through conversational commands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-youll-learn"&gt;What You&amp;rsquo;ll Learn&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When to use multi-agent architecture for infrastructure tasks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How to connect OpenClaw to Hermes via HTTP API&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Configuring the Hermes integration skill&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Querying Docker, deploying stacks, and managing GitOps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Security considerations for agent-to-agent communication&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="why-multi-agent"&gt;Why Multi-Agent?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Running everything in one agent creates a security problem. Infrastructure tasks need terminal and Docker access—capabilities you don&amp;rsquo;t want tied to your general-purpose assistant.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Building Modular Content Moderation with Guardrails</title><link>https://guides.derekleeds.cloud/docs/openclaw/guardrails-skill/</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://guides.derekleeds.cloud/docs/openclaw/guardrails-skill/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;When building AI agents, content moderation is often an afterthought — if it&amp;rsquo;s considered at all. This guide walks through building a &lt;strong&gt;modular guardrails skill&lt;/strong&gt; for OpenClaw that can be optionally imported into any skill that needs content filtering.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="why-modular-over-middleware"&gt;Why Modular Over Middleware?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Traditional approaches often bake moderation into the core agent loop. This has drawbacks:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All-or-nothing&lt;/strong&gt; — You either moderate everything or nothing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hard to test&lt;/strong&gt; — Global changes affect everything&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inflexible&lt;/strong&gt; — Different skills may need different rules&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A modular approach lets you:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
