OpenClaw vs. OpenPaw? Seems like a very similar thing, or am I misunderstanding the concept here? Is the lock-in to Claude Code the feature here?

Can't be long until we see a BaseClaw repo, where everyone can clone and name their own local claw-like loop.

It is indeed very similar, but

OpenClaw doesn't support Claude Code's native OAuth, plus it runs its own daemon. OpenPaw goes the other direction: it writes config files that Claude Code already understands (CLAUDE.md, permissions, hooks) and exits so claude code can function as an actual personal assistant with all the skills needed. No daemon, no extra process.
