Why HushClaw?
Everything you need to build powerful AI agents — nothing you don't
Browser UI
Full chat interface at http://localhost:8765 — sessions, memories, and multi-agent panels. Setup wizard on first launch.
Token-first Design
Explicit token budget per context section. Anthropic KV-cache support for the stable prefix.
Persistent Memory
Notes survive across sessions via SQLite FTS5 + local vector search.
Zero Dependencies
Runs with Python 3.11+ stdlib only — sqlite3, tomllib, asyncio, urllib. No pip required.
Multiple Providers
Anthropic (urllib or SDK), Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
ReAct Loop
Tool use with pluggable ContextEngine for lossless context compaction.
Plugin Tools
Drop .py files into ~/.config/hushclaw/tools/ to extend with custom tools.
Multi-agent
Sequential pipelines, session-affinity pools, and agent-to-agent delegation.
Native Storage
macOS ~/Library/Application Support/hushclaw/ · Linux ~/.local/share/hushclaw/
