Message
This is a real session running on a single 4-CPU VM.
Every bubble above is a Claude Code tool-call.
§02 · AGENTS

Two agents, one control plane.

Claw runs Claude Code in sandboxed containers. Hermes runs autonomous AI with skill learning and 200+ models via OpenRouter. Both are reachable from Telegram, both managed from the same dashboard at claw.biswas.me.

CLAW
Claude Code Agent
The original. Telegram bot + web chat that spawns ephemeral Claude Code sessions. YOLO mode, sandboxed containers, workspace bind mounts. Every tool call logged.
HERMES
Nous Research Agent
Autonomous AI agent with skill learning and multi-model support. 200+ models via OpenRouter, persistent context, and its own gateway at hermes.biswas.me.

§03 · MORNING BRIEFS & ROUTINES

Wake up to what matters.

Automated daily routines delivered straight to Telegram. Six brief types, full 5-field cron scheduling, CRUD via the dashboard UI and REST API, and HTML-formatted results with clickable links. Each routine runs as a Go-native fetcher — no Python, no external dependencies. Toggle, edit, or trigger any routine from the operator console.

§05 · POSTURE

Security that a paranoid SRE won't sigh at.

Openclaw runs Claude Code in YOLO mode — on purpose. That's the whole value prop. So the rest of the stack is hardened to compensate: no inbound surface for the agent, container-per-session, everything on your box.

CTRL · A01
Telegram allowlist
Numeric user IDs only. Rejects before exec. Zero public surface.
CTRL · A02
Docker sandbox
Every session runs in an ephemeral container. Workspace is the only mount.
CTRL · A03
Secrets · mode 600
/opt/openclaw/.env owned by root. Never committed, never baked into images.
CTRL · A04
Cloudflare origin CA
15-year origin cert. UFW allows 22/80/443 only. Fail2ban on sshd.
CTRL · A05
Your data, your box
Logs, workspace, conversation history — all on disk you own. No telemetry.
CTRL · A06
Audit trail
Every tool call is journaled. Stream to stdout, syslog, or your SIEM.
§06 · INSTALL

One command. One VM. Five minutes.

Bootstrap issues a Cloudflare origin cert, hardens the box via Ansible, deploys the bot container, and wires up nginx. You bring a Telegram token and your Anthropic key.
