Interesting choice to use native Apple Containers over Docker. I assume this is to keep the footprint minimal on a Mac Mini without the overhead of the Docker VM, but does this limit the agent's ability to run standard Linux tooling? Or are you relying on the AI to just figure out the BSD/macOS equivalents of standard commands?
Minor nitpick, it looks like about 2500 lines of typescript (I am on a mobile device, so my LOC estimate may be off). Also, Apple container looks really interesting.
Edit: I see you, making edits to the readme to make it sound more human-written since I commented ;) https://github.com/gavrielc/nanoclaw/commit/40d41542d2f335a0...
I think these days if I’m going to be actively promoting code I’ve created (with Claude, no shade for that), I’ll make sure to write the documentation, or at the very least the readme, by hand. The smell of LLM from the docs of any project puts me off even when I like the idea of the project itself, as in this case. It’s hard to describe why - maybe it feels like if you care enough to promote it, you should care to t…
Before the proof of work of code in a repo by default was a signal of a lot of thought going into something. Now this flood of code in these vibe coded projects is by default cheap and borderline meaningless. Not throwing shade or anything at coding assistants. Just the way it goes

I agree 100% with you. It's even worse though. They haven't checked if the Readme has hallucinated it or not (spoiler: it has): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46850317

Project releases with llms have grown to be less about the functionality and more about convincing others to care.

Not one line of code I wrote 20 years ago has the same economic value as East German currency.
All code is social ephemera. Ethno objects. It lacks intrinsic value of something like indoor plumbing.
It's electrical state in a machine. Our only real goal was convince people the symbols on the screen were coupled to some real world value while it is 100% decoupled from whatever real physical quantity we are tracking.
We all been Frank from Always Sunny; we make money, line go up. We don't define truth. The churn of physics does that.
Can you use MCP tools? I saw that with open claw they moved away from that which I personally didn't like but
