🐈 PipClaw: Ultra-Lightweight, Pure Python Agent.

🐈 PipClaw

The Ultra-Lightweight, Pure Python Kernel for AI Agents.

Home: https://github.com/CrawlScript/pipclaw

PipClaw is a minimalist, 100% Pure Python autonomous agent kernel. While frameworks like OpenClaw offer great power, they often introduce heavy dependencies like Node.js, Docker, or complex C-extensions.

PipClaw strips away the complexity, offering a crystal-clear, readable architecture that serves as both a production-ready kernel and a comprehensive tutorial on building modern AI agents.

🌟 Key Features

• 100% Pure Python: No C-extensions, no Node.js, no Docker. If you have Python, you have PipClaw.
• Minimalist & Readable: A "Batteries-Included" architecture designed to be a living tutorial. Learn how to build an OpenClaw-style agent by reading code, not documentation.
• Highly Customizable Kernel: Designed as a core engine, not a rigid app. Easily plug in your own logic, state management, and custom tools.
• Universal Cross-Platform: Runs seamlessly on Windows, macOS, Linux, and minimalist environments like Raspberry Pi.
• Multi-Channel Interaction: Built-in support for interacting with your agent via Telegram, WhatsApp, and more—all handled through pure Python integrations.

🚀 Quick Start

No compiling, no heavy setup. Just pip and run.

pip install pipclaw
pipclaw run

🛠 The Philosophy

The trend in AI agents is moving towards massive complexity. PipClaw moves towards clarity. Most developers don't need a 400,000-line black box. They need a reliable, auditable kernel that handles the agent loop and tool-calling while remaining light enough to be modified in minutes. PipClaw is the "distilled essence" of an autonomous bot.

🔌 Connectors

PipClaw allows you to interact with your agent through multiple channels:

• Terminal Mode: Standard interactive CLI (default).
• Telegram Mode: No external dependencies. Just create a bot via @BotFather and provide your token during setup.
• WhatsApp Mode: Requires Node.js (v22.17.0 recommended) to run the lightweight bridge. The agent will show a QR code in your terminal for linking.

# To change your mode or LLM settings
