LionClaw

Why

The anatomy of a true assistant.

LionClaw is split into a rock-solid core and modular skills, giving you maximum capability without compromising your local machine.

Command & Control (The Core)

The Core is the heavily guarded central engine of LionClaw. It stores your persistent sessions, but more importantly, it enforces policy and controls the runtime. It acts as a strict choke-point: logging every single execution and dictating exactly what the AI is allowed to do. By keeping this central orchestrator tiny and isolated, your system can never be compromised by a rogue background task or a messy plugin.

Real-World Action (The Skills)

This is where your AI gets its hands. Keep the core isolated, but plug in specific, sandboxed skills when you need the AI to actually do something, like read your local file system, push code, or trigger webhooks.

Absolute Control (The Audit)

Because LionClaw forces all execution through a single local entry point, there is zero hidden background magic. You get total visibility and a durable audit trail of exactly what your model executed, when, and why.

Quick Start

Spin up your orchestrator.

LionClaw is built in Rust. Clone it, build it, and start your first persistent session in under 60 seconds.

# 1. Build the core binaries
git clone https://github.com/moshthepitt/lionclaw.git
cd lionclaw
cargo build --release

# 2. Initialize your local environment
./target/release/lionclaw onboard

# 3. Attach a model and start executing
./target/release/lionclaw runtime add codex --kind codex --bin codex
./target/release/lionclaw run codex

Start local. Add channels, automation, and new skills after the core is up and running.

Next Steps
