Vision: To build the ultimate lightweight, secure, and fully autonomous AI Agent infrastructure.automate the mundane, unleash your creativity
Our defining characteristic. We fight software bloat to ensure PicoClaw runs smoothly on the smallest embedded devices.
- Memory Footprint Reduction
- Goal: Run smoothly on 64MB RAM embedded boards (e.g., low-end RISC-V SBCs) with the core process consuming < 20MB.
- Context: RAM is expensive and scarce on edge devices. Memory optimization takes precedence over storage size.
- Action: Analyze memory growth between releases, remove redundant dependencies, and optimize data structures.
Paying off early technical debt. We invite security experts to help build a "Secure-by-Default" agent.
-
Input Defense & Permission Control
- Prompt Injection Defense: Harden JSON extraction logic to prevent LLM manipulation.
- Tool Abuse Prevention: Strict parameter validation to ensure generated commands stay within safe boundaries.
- SSRF Protection: Built-in blocklists for network tools to prevent accessing internal IPs (LAN/Metadata services).
-
Sandboxing & Isolation
- Filesystem Sandbox: Restrict file R/W operations to specific directories only.
- Context Isolation: Prevent data leakage between different user sessions or channels.
- Privacy Redaction: Auto-redact sensitive info (API Keys, PII) from logs and standard outputs.
-
Authentication & Secrets
- Crypto Upgrade: Adopt modern algorithms like
ChaCha20-Poly1305for secret storage. - OAuth 2.0 Flow: Deprecate hardcoded API keys in the CLI; move to secure OAuth flows.
- Crypto Upgrade: Adopt modern algorithms like
Connect every model, reach every platform.
-
Provider
- Architecture Upgrade: Refactor from "Vendor-based" to "Protocol-based" classification (e.g., OpenAI-compatible, Ollama-compatible). (Status: In progress by @Daming, ETA 5 days)
- Local Models: Deep integration with Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, and Mistral (local inference).
- Online Models: Continued support for frontier closed-source models.
-
Channel
- IM Matrix: QQ, WeChat (Work), DingTalk, Feishu (Lark), Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, LINE, Slack, Email, KOOK, Signal, ...
- Standards: Support for the OneBot protocol.
- attachment: Native handling of images, audio, and video attachments.
-
Skill Marketplace
- Discovery skills: Implement
find_skillto automatically discover and install skills from the [GitHub Skills Repo] or other registries.
- Discovery skills: Implement
Beyond conversation—focusing on action and collaboration.
-
Operations
- MCP Support: Native support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Browser Automation: Headless browser control via CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) or ActionBook.
- Mobile Operation: Android device control (similar to BotDrop).
-
Multi-Agent Collaboration
- Basic Multi-Agent implement
- Model Routing: "Smart Routing" — dispatch simple tasks to small/local models (fast/cheap) and complex tasks to SOTA models (smart).
- Swarm Mode: Collaboration between multiple PicoClaw instances on the same network.
- AIEOS: Exploring AI-Native Operating System interaction paradigms.
Lowering the barrier to entry so anyone can deploy in minutes.
-
QuickGuide (Zero-Config Start)
- Interactive CLI Wizard: If launched without config, automatically detect the environment and guide the user through Token/Network setup step-by-step.
-
Comprehensive Documentation
- Platform Guides: Dedicated guides for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
- Step-by-Step Tutorials: "Babysitter-level" guides for configuring Providers and Channels.
- AI-Assisted Docs: Using AI to auto-generate API references and code comments (with human verification to prevent hallucinations).
Born from Vibe Coding, we continue to use AI to accelerate development.
- AI-Enhanced CI/CD
- Integrate AI for automated Code Review, Linting, and PR Labeling.
- Bot Noise Reduction: Optimize bot interactions to keep PR timelines clean.
- Issue Triage: AI agents to analyze incoming issues and suggest preliminary fixes.
- Logo Design: We are looking for a Mantis Shrimp (Stomatopoda) logo design!
- Concept: Needs to reflect "Small but Mighty" and "Lightning Fast Strikes."
