Claw Code

Claw Code is an open-source AI coding agent framework that brings autonomous development straight to your terminal. Built as a clean-room rewrite of the Claude Code architecture with Python and Rust, it delivers a terminal-native environment where AI can handle real engineering work on your behalf.

The framework faithfully reimplements the core architectural patterns revealed in the March 2026 source leak, including multi-agent orchestration (swarms), a plugin-based tool system with more than 40 capabilities, and a provider-agnostic LLM layer that frees you from being locked into any single vendor.

With Claw Code, developers can connect a wide range of AI models — Claude, OpenAI, or locally hosted models — and let the agent read codebases, edit files, execute shell commands, and manage Git operations autonomously. You get the power of an advanced coding agent without relying on proprietary Anthropic code.
