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

Backlog Cross-References

These existing issues are directly solvable or strongly aligned by OpenClaw:

  • #22 Switch to local Ollama → OpenClaw Ollama provider
  • #20 Heartbeat rewiring → OpenClaw cron
  • #19 MCP server registration → OpenClaw MCP client
  • the-nexus#660 Three-layer game architecture → OpenClaw multi-agent sessions
  • the-nexus#551 Morning briefing → OpenClaw cron @startup
  • the-nexus#610 Shadow Context Manager → OpenClaw /compact + session memory
