Introduction

What is klaw?

klaw is enterprise AI agent orchestration — like kubectl, but for AI agents.

$ klaw get agents

NAME              NAMESPACE    STATUS    MODEL              LAST RUN
lead-scorer       sales        running   claude-sonnet-4    2m ago
competitor-watch  research     idle      gpt-4o             1h ago
ticket-handler    support      running   claude-sonnet-4    30s ago

Or control everything from Slack:

@klaw status
@klaw run lead-scorer
@klaw logs competitor-watch

Quick Start

Install and run your first agent in 5 minutes

The Problem

You’re running AI agents in production:

Lead Scorer — analyzes CRM leads every hour
Competitor Watch — monitors competitor websites daily
Ticket Handler — auto-responds to support tickets
Report Generator — creates weekly analytics reports

But managing them is chaos:

Challenge	Current State	With klaw
Visibility	”Is the agent running?”	`klaw get agents`, `klaw logs`
Isolation	Sales accessing support secrets	Namespaces with scoped permissions
Scheduling	Messy cron jobs, Lambda	`klaw cron create` — built-in
Scaling	Manual server provisioning	`klaw node join` — auto-dispatch
Debugging	grep through CloudWatch	`klaw logs agent --follow`
Deployment	Complex setup	Single binary, one command

OpenClaw works, but deployment is painful and scaling is worse. klaw brings Kubernetes-style operations to AI agents. One binary. Deploys in seconds.

The Kubernetes Parallel

If you know kubectl, you already know klaw:

You Want To…	kubectl	klaw
List workloads	`kubectl get pods`	`klaw get agents`
Inspect	`kubectl describe pod`	`klaw describe agent`
View logs	`kubectl logs`	`klaw logs`
Deploy	`kubectl apply -f`	`klaw apply -f`
Isolate	Namespaces	Namespaces
Schedule	CronJob	`klaw cron`
Scale out	Add nodes	`klaw node join`

Key Features

kubectl-style CLI

Familiar commands: klaw get, klaw describe, klaw logs, klaw apply. If you know Kubernetes, you know klaw.

Slack Control

Manage agents from Slack. @klaw status, @klaw run agent, @klaw logs. Your AI command center.

Namespaces & Isolation

Isolate agents by team. Sales can’t access support’s secrets. Each namespace has its own tools and permissions.

Built-in Scheduling

klaw cron create — no external scheduler needed. Run agents hourly, daily, weekly.

Distributed Mode

Scale from laptop to cluster. Controller dispatches tasks to worker nodes automatically.

300+ LLM Models

Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Llama, and 300+ more through a single API. Swap models without code changes.

Single Binary

One ~20MB binary with zero dependencies. No Python, no Node.js. Just klaw.

Quick Example

# Install
curl -fsSL https://klaw.sh/install.sh | sh

# Configure
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

# Interactive chat
klaw chat

# Or start full platform with Slack
export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-...
export SLACK_APP_TOKEN=xapp-...
klaw start

Create a scheduled agent:

# Create agent
klaw create agent lead-scorer \
  --namespace sales \
  --model claude-sonnet-4-20250514 \
  --skills crm,web-search

# Schedule hourly runs
klaw cron create score-leads \
  --schedule "0 * * * *" \
  --agent lead-scorer \
  --task "Analyze new HubSpot leads, score 1-100, update Lead Score field"

# Monitor
klaw get agents
klaw logs lead-scorer --follow
