meclaw - Agentic OS in one Rust binary
Show HN: Agentic OS: one Rust Linux binary, one SQLite and sandbox per entity
meclaw is an agentic build system that turns a directory tree into a running colony of actors, all powered by a single Rust binary. It functions as a substrate where every folder is an actor and every edge is a route, allowing you to grow an entire operating system for agents at runtime. With meclaw, you can install a minimal core and then grow assistants, firewalls, and other components as simple JSON files, without redeploying. The system is ontology-grounded, auditable, and sandboxed via Linux kernel primitives like Landlock and seccomp. It offers a unique approach where the harness is topology, not code, making it highly flexible and diffable. Experience a new paradigm where agents are not programmed but grown.
In meclaw an `llm` cell makes **one** provider call and emits **one** message; tools are cells, the loop is an edge that routes back, the harness is topology.
