I’ve been running Clawdbot for the last couple weeks and have genuinely found it useful but running it scares the crap out of me. OpenClaw has 52+ modules and runs agents with near-unlimited permissions in a single Node process. NanoClaw is ~500 lines of core code, agents run in actual Apple containers with filesystem isolation. Each chat gets its own sandboxed context. This is not a swiss army knife. It’s built to match my exact needs. Fork it and make it yours.

I built DevClaw, an OpenClaw plugin that turns each Telegram group into an isolated, autonomous dev team: planner/orchestrator, DEVs, and QA all running on their own. I use it for all my development now. Issues on GitLab/GitHub are the single source of truth, and three things compound to save around 70% on tokens: model tiering (Haiku for typos, Opus for architecture), session reuse across tasks, and token-free scheduling that burns zero LLM calls for orchestration. Please try it and give some feedback. Also keen to hear from anyone running autonomous coding agents, especially what…

Hi HN, I’m the creator of pycoClaw. I wanted to run OpenClaw-class, platform-agnostic, autonomous agents on MicroPython hardware, but standard tools couldn't handle the scale of the task. pycoClaw is the result, which bridges the gap between high-level AI reasoning and bare-metal execution. The Stack: - PFC Agent (~26k LOC): A full-featured agent that uses an LLM to 'self-program' its own local MicroPython scripts. Once a task is solved, it runs locally without requiring the LLM. - ScriptoStudio IDE: A PWA https://scriptostudio.com designed for the iteration speed required by…
