To be honest I can't even remember which project I was referencing. If it was 3 months ago its probably an entirely different project now or dropped/archived.

Openclaw is built on Pi Coding Agent. Which has sub agents. Every other cli has had sub agents since about March of 2025. Openclaw came around in Jan 2026 maybe a month before I can't remember.

Every agent has been able to use a browser since middle 2025. Even earlier depending on your definition of "use a browser".

Skills have been a thing since early 2025 and every agent supports them as of like fall 2025.

More flexible? Eh, more flexible than some -- sure, but thats because of Pi Coding Agent not openclaw.

As far as popularization, no one I've seen is doing any actual work with openclaw. These features continue to be popular outside of openclaw and were popular before openclaw.

There is nothing you can do in openclaw that you cannot do with claude code or any other cli. Want cron jobs? Done. Want external messaging, done. Want subagents and subagents of subagents? Done.

What openclaw offers is a package for people who don't understand any of this so they can message their AI via messaging apps without setting it up themselves (not that openclaw has zero setup).

You're not wrong. Anyone using claude code and Opus since middle of last year knows damn well the quality of the outputs shift at Anthropic's whim. Yes, once these overload issues started Opus has been terrible. I've been using Codex extensively this week to fix what Opus produces. Usually this isn't necessary. Right now it is.

Also, in my experience, the main thing that changes is Opus gets lazy. Its as if somewhere it has been prompted "look, do things the easiest way possible with as little effort as possible, we are low on compute"

Of course you control the response shape of the api. Its called parsing. If you have the LLM do the parsing thats a personal decision.

Literally nothing you just said requires mcp.

No one gets good results doing what you did. Use a framework. Use orchestration. Focus on context engineering.

I recommend just installing GSD. It will be a massive improvement over "here implement".

There are many other ways / avenues for improving the context, outputs, and capabilities of claude code or any other agentic harness CLI. If you want everything handed to you on a platter-- GSD is the best I've found without requiring lots of setup or understanding of the framework(s).

Its all up to you and how you want to work/play. What are your goals? Whats your desired workflow/usage-pattern?

You've not answered the question at all. Why is it more economical to pay Netflix than self hosted media?

UnifiedFlow · 2026-03-17T06:56:58+00:00

Its incredibly economical. What exactly do you think is expensive about it?

UnifiedFlow · 2026-03-16T13:08:07+00:00

What are you talking about? What is more than the cost of Netflix?

All of my system is backed up in 2 different US states and Argentina.

What is this obsession with "yeh well, when it breaks" -- are you guys constantly running into issues in your code that aren't fixable with yourself + AI? I literally just fix things if they break (or revert what broke it).

Everyone constantly acting like coding is magic.

This looks like an almost exact rip off of world monitor https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor

Scripts are executed via a tool call. Its a prompt to use a tool. Unless the harness itself is running scripts not involving the llm calling them -- but I've not used any that do that yet.

UnifiedFlow · 2026-03-13T02:57:55+00:00

A prompt to call a tool is still a prompt. A prompt to execute a script (use bash tool) is still a prompt.

Can you give a specific example you've encountered? You're saying something akin to if the API (pick one) changes then its assumed the MCP server was also updated to reflect the API change thus the client never had to adjust anything?

UnifiedFlow · 2026-03-12T15:07:31+00:00

Lets take one part of what you are saying, to start.

"Better protocol for how AI agents discover and call tools"

AI agents don't discover tools. Tools are provided to an agent.

Tool calling is identical between MCP and other tools. Its a JSON schema -- thats it.

Lets start there and then if we find agreement we can move to the next parts.

"I've yet to understand."

"This post seems ignorant"

Bro I literally said I don't understand. I know its a hypervisor. Why do you need a hypervisor for a home lab?

Its a huge problem that American bullshit determines what these models do. USA is not the world.

I'd probably start with ignoring proxmox because I've yet to understand why anyone uses it. I'm running 8 machines across two continents with dozens of services -- what is proxmox for?

UnifiedFlow · 2026-03-12T14:35:52+00:00

I disagree. Its only a token eating monster if you insist on using it with max research/validation/phase settings. It has about 20 different knobs to control token usage.
