GitHub: https://github.com/nagisanzenin/skyclaw SkyClaw is an autonomous AI agent runtime in Rust. Drop it on a VPS, control it from Telegram. It runs shell commands, browses the web (headless Chrome), reads/writes files, fetches URLs. Multi-round — chains tools until the task is done. Why not the other claws:

  • OpenClaw: 400k lines, Node.js, 50+ channels, local-first, gateway daemon, documented security issues. Great ecosystem. Way too much for a cloud agent.
  • ZeroClaw: Rust, fast, trait-based. Still gateway-centric, still local-first, still dozens of channel adapters.
  • NanoClaw: ~15 files, container isolation, Anthropic Agent SDK. Node.js, WhatsApp-centric, needs Docker.
  • PicoClaw: Go, runs on $10 hardware. Edge/IoT focus. Early stage. All are personal assistant frameworks designed for local machines. SkyClaw is not a personal assistant. It’s a remote tool executor. Differences:
  • Cloud-first. Built for VPS. No local machine running 24/7.
  • Telegram only. No gateway, no WebSocket, no multi-channel routing. Telegram IS the interface.
  • Zero config. One env var (bot token). Paste API key in chat. Auto-detects provider from key pattern. Validates. Saves. Online.
  • Self-configuring. “Switch to claude-opus-4-6” — agent edits its own config file.
  • Auto-security. First user auto-whitelisted by numeric Telegram ID. Everyone else blocked.
  • 6.9 MB static binary. SQLite. No containers. No runtime deps except Chrome.
  • Multi-provider. Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini. Hot-swap, no restart. Stack: Rust, Tokio, teloxide, axum, chromiumoxide, sqlx, ChaCha20-Poly1305. 13-crate workspace. Built with Claude Code + Production Grade Plugin (autonomous 13-skill dev pipeline): https://github.com/nagisanzenin/claude-code-production-grade-plugin Use OpenClaw if you want 50 integrations. Use NanoClaw if you want container isolation. Use PicoClaw for edge hardware. Use ZeroClaw for broad Rust agent infra. Use SkyClaw if you want one binary on a VPS controlled from Telegram with zero setup. submitted by /u/No_Skill_8393
