Objective

Install OpenClaw on Maximum Maxitude (Mac M3 Max) and bootstrap it with the existing Hermes Agent / Timmy setup. OpenClaw sits as a gateway layer above Ollama — it gains Timmy multi-channel comms, persistent memory, native cron, MCP integration, and multi-agent session routing without changing the GGUF or LoRA pipeline.

Architecture

OpenClaw Gateway (channels, memory, cron, skills)
        │
        │  OpenAI-compatible API / Ollama native
        ▼
   Pi Agent runtime (RPC)
        │
        │  model: ollama/hermes4:14b
        ▼
   Ollama → Hermes 4 14B (existing GGUF + Timmy LoRA)

What OpenClaw Adds

  • Persistent memory across sessions (SQLite)
  • Multi-channel inbox (Nostr, iMessage, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.)
  • Skills platform (ClawHub — 13k+ community skills, markdown-driven)
  • Cron / heartbeats — proactive agent triggers (replaces Huey for agent tasks)
  • MCP client — register existing MCP servers (Forgejo, desktop-control, steam-info)
  • Multi-agent routing — Timmy(14B) → sessions_send → Reflex(1B) → Pilot
  • OpenAI-compatible API — /v1/chat/completions backed by local model
  • Browser control via CDP

Sovereignty Assessment

  • MIT licensed, fully local runtime, SQLite state, no telemetry
  • Default onboarding pushes cloud LLMs — override with Ollama
  • Credentials stored plaintext in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json — harden
  • ClawHub skills need vetting (Cisco documented exfiltration via malicious skills)
  • Founder (Steinberger) joined OpenAI Feb 2026 — governance in transition

  • Phase 2: Migrate Timmy identity to SOUL.md — #54
  • Phase 3: Register MCP servers — #55
  • Phase 4: Wire Nostr channel — #61
  • Phase 5: Migrate heartbeat/cron from Huey — #59
  • Phase 6: Multi-agent sessions (Timmy → Reflex → Pilot) — #60

Closing during the 2026-03-28 backlog burn-down.

Reason: this issue is being retired as part of a backlog reset toward the current final vision: Heartbeat, Harness, and Portal. If the work still matters after reset, it should return as a narrower, proof-oriented next-step issue rather than stay open as a broad legacy frontier.
