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.

Hi HN, I'm Antoine Zambelli, AI Director at Texas Instruments. I built Forge, an open-source reliability layer for self-hosted LLM tool-calling. What it does: - Adds domain-and-tool-agnostic guardrails (retry nudges, step enforcement, error recovery, VRAM-aware context management) to local models running on consumer hardware - Takes an 8B model from ~53% to ~99% on multi-step agentic workflows without changing the model - just the system around it - Ships with an eval harness and interactive dashboard so you can reproduce every number I wanted to run a handful of always-on agentic systems…

Hey HN, We built FireClaw because we kept watching AI agents get owned by prompt injection through web content. The agent fetches a page, the page says "ignore previous instructions," and suddenly your agent is leaking data or running commands it shouldn't. The existing solutions detect injection after the fact. We wanted to prevent it. FireClaw is a security proxy that sits between your AI agent and the web. Every fetch passes through a 4-stage pipeline: 1. DNS blocklist check (URLhaus, PhishTank, community feed) 2. Structural sanitization (strip hidden CSS, zero-width Unicode, encoding…

Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

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…

I run OpenClaw agents with access to email, calendar, and files, and kept worrying about them doing things I never actually asked for. ArmorClaw captures intent and cryptographically binds the agent’s tool use to that committed intent. If an agent tries to call a tool outside that plan, it gets rejected. For example, if you ask your agent to ‘email dad asking how he’s doing,’ it should only need your email tool. If it also tries to read your calendar, ArmorClaw rejects that. It’s an open-source OpenClaw plugin, and installation is one command: curl -fsSL…

I built a skill library for OpenClaw (always-on AI agent runtime, not session-based) where the agent can teach itself new behaviors during normal conversation. The idea: you tell your agent "every time I ask for a code review, always check for security issues first." It invokes a create-skill skill, writes a new SKILL.md, and that behavior is live immediately — no restart, no config change, no developer required. What I think is actually useful (the safety cluster): • loop-circuit-breaker: OpenClaw retries ALL errors identically. This halts on the 2nd identical failure before it burns your…

We built PrivateClaw because the hosted OpenClaw platforms on the market today require you to trust them with plaintext. PrivateClaw removes that requirement at the hardware layer. PrivateClaw runs AI agents inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), backed by AMD’s SEV-SNP standard. This means that your data is encrypted at the hardware level, enforced by the AMD Secure Processor outside the host OS trust boundary. PrivateClaw comes with inference that also runs inside TEEs, which means your prompts and completions are private as well. How it works: Each user gets a dedicated CVM…
