OpenPaw is an open-source toolkit that turns Claude Code into a full personal assistant. One command (npx pawmode), 38 skills — email, calendar, Spotify, smart home, notes, and more. No daemon, no cloud, mo extra cost beyond your existing Claude subscription.

Going to object to anything using Claude as being local.

Still: this totally could be hooked up to a local LLM.

Thank you!

Memory right now is flat markdown files (MEMORY.md , SOUL.md) that Claude reads at session start. Honestly it works better than you'd expect. Claude's context window is big enough that a few hundred lines of memory covers most personal assistant use cases. I'd rather keep it as plain text you can read and edit yourself than add a vector DB dependency for marginal recall gains.

The filesystem context thing is exactly right btw

OpenClaw vs. OpenPaw? Seems like a very similar thing, or am I misunderstanding the concept here? Is the lock-in to Claude Code the feature here?

Can't be long until we see a BaseClaw repo, where everyone can clone and name their own local claw-like loop.
