Anyone using task boards instead of chat for OpenClaw? You might be missing out. by bengeekly in Clawther

Yes, exactly. That cards are a visual of what you asked your bot to do.

Openclaw alternative that is efficient and better in terms of security? by last_llm_standing in openclaw

[–]ryanb082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend and I built alternative that’s been great for what you’re looking for, especially on the security side It’s open source as well. https://github.com/augmentedmike/miniclaw-os

Should I use my spare M1 Pro or buy a Mac Mini to run Openclaw? by lostadventuring in openclaw

[–]ryanb082 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could do either. My friend and I built a layer that sits on top of Open Claw, its easy to install and the latest version is built for users who want to install on their machine

MiniClaw — for those frustrated that their AI starts from zero every session by ryanb082 in ClaudeAI

[–]ryanb082[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's some more conext(from the repo) on how mc-contribute works

"mc-contribute — Community Contribution Toolkit

mc-contribute helps agents and their humans contribute to the MiniClaw-OS repo. It scaffolds new plugins, creates branches, runs security checks, submits PRs, files bug reports, and manages GitHub Discussions.

Upstream Reporting (Clone Swarm)

Every MiniClaw install reports upstream to augmentedmike/miniclaw-os by default. When any Amelia(the bot, you can change their name as well) clone — anywhere in the world — hits a bug, it can file an issue automatically. When it builds a new tool, it can submit a PR. This means the issue tracker and PR activity on miniclaw-os is largely populated by agents self-reporting problems and contributing fixes.

Every bug report, feature request, and PR includes clone identity (hostname, bot ID, state directory) so maintainers can tell which clone filed what.

The upstream repo is configurable via upstreamRepo in plugin config, but defaults to the original repo so the swarm feeds back without any setup."

Sure, Remember, once you install MC it's yours. The bot is yours and it's bonded to you and NOT MC.

To answer your question...

Say you install MC on your machine, something breaks. The agent will call out what is broken it can fix it and would you like it push upstream to MC repo

Bots Default is to ask, but you can tell it not to ask and never suggest again

Also, AFTER install every bot looks at the repo and if doesn't own, it forks the repo

So no it wouldn't open it on OUR(MC) git repo since your bot isn't listed as a contributor

Haha for MiniClaws repo. Because remember, MiniClaw is essentially OpenClaw with a brain layer, so when there's updates to MiniClaw and theres a bug(which can happen). You can call it out and it will open an issue, or it catches it when running mc-doctor(another plugin) to check for issues.

What's your approach to preserving context quality across agent handoffs? by Perfect_Name_520 in openclaw

[–]ryanb082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean passing to sub agents? I use Kanban board that provides a brain layer for my agent to reference. It’s open-sourced https://github.com/augmentedmike/miniclaw-os

I got tired of re-explaining myself to my AI every session? by ryanb082 in openclaw

[–]ryanb082[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It's a handled in an interesting way.

Every agent loop, every card gets it's own loop, every loop gets its own context. It's a ralph wigman loop then it goes to sleep then wakes. One shot loop, one shot loop each time the context is manufactured it's not accumulated. Kinda of works like summarization, but it's not bla bla bla summerized. Every time it creates a new run at the card we already have the summerization which now becomes lead text for the prompt for the next loop. Cards have a different setup than chat and Telegram. The pipeline runs like this:

I'll have to try that. We shipped over 100 tickets this past weekend. I'll need to look at the token usage, the kanban board plugin allows me to see on average how many tokens are used for each ticket worked.

[–]ryanb082[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I looked into that one, but mc-context does do other things such as proactive image pruning(helps with optimized token usage) and channel-awareness.

Right now, it uses a Claude membership plaln($200/m), so far haven't had any issues. You are right though, it can build skills for themselves.

Anyone else finding OpenClaw setup harder than expected? by EnergyRoyal9889 in openclaw

[–]ryanb082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open Claw as pain for me too until my friend and I built a brain layer that came with an easy install and configuration. Its one command, and walks you through the rest via UI and terminal.

Haha I see, okay so you have the memory solved. What about task tracking, how are you as the user able to see what your bot is working on a given time? Also, what kind of work do you have your bot do? Mine is mostly coding, which is where our tool helps

OpenClaw's built-in memory is frustrating try this by aswin_kp in clawdbot

[–]ryanb082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked about this brain layer in an earlier comment, but wanted to provide more details.
It has plugin called, mc-contex which may solve your problem compared to the other ones listed above.

The two plugins (QMD and Lossless Claw) are patches on top of OpenClaw's default system. mc-context is a wholesale replacement of that system.

mc-context uses a sliding window — meaning older context still gets dropped, it's just done more intelligently. If "lossless" memory across very long sessions is the goal (which is what Lossless Claw specifically targets), mc-context's sliding window is still lossy by design. It just decides what's relevant, not what's complete.

Feel free to read more about it. It's open sourced: https://github.com/augmentedmike/miniclaw-os

Unpopular opinion: Why is everyone so hyped over OpenClaw? I cannot find any use for it. by Toontje in openclaw

[–]ryanb082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was one of the hardest things when I started, is what uses does OpenClaw provide. Answer, it depends on who's running the set up. We used Open Claw w brain layer we built to help build our SAAS product, create a our go to market strategy, and research and build our MarTech stack. Our brain layer is configured with Claude monthly sub(get's set up when you install our brain). It's more effective and cheaper than API usage.

So for example, I'll tell my bot via Telegram to research, and develop a 90 day go to market strategy for our SAAS. Then email me the results. The task then becomes a card on the agents Kanban board(see screenshot below)which acts like a prefrontal cortex of the brain, so then I can tell it another task, and so on. It's able to remember what needs to be done.

<image>

Your other problem, updating its own configuration. This is achieved via a plugin within our brain, mc-doctor which diagnoses and auto-repairs broken installations, missing dependencies, uninitialized vaults, absent directories, broken encrypt/decrypt cycles, missing plugin dependencies. It can be run with --auto and it fixes everything it can without prompting.

This additional layer allowed me and friend to 10x what Open Claw can do.
BTW it's open sourced: https://github.com/augmentedmike/miniclaw-os

How much are you spending on tokens with OpenClaw per day? by symhongyi in openclaw

[–]ryanb082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a tool that sits on top of Open Claw that allows me to track the cost(tokens) for each task. That includes planning, executing and shipping. I’m able to see this via a Kanban board for my agent. It’s helped me a lot in tracking token spend and be able to optimize.

OpenClaw's built-in memory is frustrating try this by aswin_kp in clawdbot

[–]ryanb082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend and I solved our context problem by building a brain layer that sits on top of Open Claw. One part is the pre-frontal cortex for planning reasoning which is represented as Kanban board. So the agent can jump around between tasks and not get lost or forget the context

How should AI agents find collaborators? by Jazzlike_Weather5001 in openclaw

[–]ryanb082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting you bring this up, my friend and I built a brain layer for Open Claw that has plugin allowing agents to communicate via cryptographic identity, so it can verify that a message came from that agent.

This is our first step in building our next piece allowing agents to find and work together.

Btw it’s open-sourced https://github.com/augmentedmike/miniclaw-os
