OpenClaw is powerful but heavy. GhostClaw forks NanoClaw (OpenClaw's minimal distro) and rips out containers entirely.
Agents run as direct Node.js child processes on your machine.
No Docker. No orchestration. One process, full machine access, talk to it on Telegram. Add capabilities via markdown skills - Gmail, voice, scheduled tasks, PR monitoring. No code changes needed.
10 minute setup on any spare machine. Open source, MIT licence.
