The Claw: Minions of Toil
summary
Builds an always‑on agent cluster running on a Mac Mini or DigitalOcean droplet using OpenClaw principles and a moldable Pi harness, wires Fable instances for orchestration, drives panes with a terminal multiplexer (Herder), and adds personality via soul.md. Handles a support inbox of 200–300 messages per day, runs review loops every six hours, pulls traces from Axiom for observability, and during a launch automates replies for a product that sold 4,000 seats, reducing manual work while keeping deterministic rules for mistakes.
