🛠️ DevLog – PyClaw Agent Framework: Early Design Pass
PyClaw is evolving from a simple test harness into a local-first agent orchestration framework that can sit tightly on top of Cortensor’s /completion, /delegate, /validate, and factcheck surfaces.
🔹 What We’re Designing PyClaw For
- Local-first runtime: a control plane takes commands (CLI/chat/voice), routes them to the right agent/session, and keeps an audit log of everything.
- State-machine brain: interpret → plan → policy-gate → act → observe → reflect → improve, with tools memory context compaction to stay safe and efficient.
- Scaling path:
- V1 – fully local: SQLite, local transports, easy debugging.
- V2 – swap in remote agents, durable queues, object storage, and stronger auth without changing the core contracts or event/audit model.
- Execution: PyClaw orchestrates; Cortensor remains the decentralized execution verification fabric underneath.
🔹 Core Modules (1-liner each, still design-stage)
- controlplane-core – Channel adapters, command routing, global audit log.
- statemachine-core – Agent brain loop as a hierarchical state machine.
- identityctl-core – Role/personality/risk compressed into a tiny identity snippet version.
- sessctl-core – Event-sourced session truth: timelines, summaries, snapshots.
- ctxctl-core – Budgeted context packs with identity session injection and manifests/hashes.
- llmctl-core – Provider/model catalog, per-agent routes, and ensemble/judge patterns.
- policectl-core – Allow/deny/confirm/modify gates before any side effect.
- safetyctl-core – Stop/kill/panic switches and global execution locks.
- osctl-core – OS/tool control plugins, sandboxed exec, captured outputs.
- artifactctl-core – Content-addressed files, views, aliases, GC/cleanup.
- memctl-core – Scoped memory (facts/knowledge/procedures) with TTL promotion.
- agentregctl-core – Agent discovery, capabilities, endpoints, profile refs.
- a2actl-core – Local agent-to-agent jobs/queue, status and cancel.
- evalctl-core (optional) – Replay/regression harness with mock tools/LLMs.
This is design iteration, not a product launch yet. The goal is to make PyClaw a clean “agent brain control plane” that can lean on Cortensor for scalable, verifiable compute instead of re-implementing infra in every agent project.
