TinyClaw

OpenClaw reimplemented in ~400 lines of shell script using Claude Code and tmux. Super stable alternative to OpenClaw's frequent breaking changes.

What It Does

TinyClaw recreates OpenClaw's core functionality in just 400 lines of code. It provides WhatsApp channels, heartbeat system, cron jobs, and full compatibility with existing Claude Code plugins—all while being significantly more stable than the original OpenClaw.

Why It Matters

Built by a frustrated OpenClaw user tired of constant breakage. This proves the core OpenClaw concept works—and can be implemented much more simply. Went viral with 1,122 likes and 72 retweets. The simplicity thesis: complex infrastructure isn't always necessary.
