- Agent Teams & Orchestration — Teams with shared task boards, inter-agent delegation (sync/async), and hybrid agent discovery
- Multi-Tenant PostgreSQL — Per-user workspaces, per-user context files, encrypted API keys (AES-256-GCM), isolated sessions
- Single Binary — ~25 MB static Go binary, no Node.js runtime, <1s startup, runs on a $5 VPS
- Production Security — 5-layer permission system (gateway auth → global tool policy → per-agent → per-channel → owner-only) plus rate limiting, prompt injection detection, SSRF protection, shell deny patterns, and AES-256-GCM encryption
- 20+ LLM Providers — Anthropic (native HTTP+SSE with prompt caching), OpenAI, OpenRouter, Groq, DeepSeek, Gemini, Mistral, xAI, MiniMax, Cohere, Perplexity, DashScope, Bailian, Zai, Ollama, Ollama Cloud, Claude CLI, Codex, ACP, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
- 7 Messaging Channels — Telegram, Discord, Slack, Zalo OA, Zalo Personal, Feishu/Lark, WhatsApp
- Extended Thinking — Per-provider thinking mode (Anthropic budget tokens, OpenAI reasoning effort, DashScope thinking budget) with streaming support
- Heartbeat System — Periodic agent check-ins via HEARTBEAT.md checklists with suppress-on-OK, active hours, retry logic, and channel delivery
- Scheduling & Cron —
at,every, and cron expressions for automated agent tasks with lane-based concurrency - Observability — Built-in LLM call tracing with spans and prompt cache metrics, optional OpenTelemetry OTLP export

Prerequisites: Go 1.26+, PostgreSQL 18 with pgvector, Docker (optional)
git clone https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw.git && cd goclaw
make build
./goclaw onboard # Interactive setup wizard
source .env.local && ./goclaw# Generate .env with auto-generated secrets
chmod +x prepare-env.sh && ./prepare-env.sh
# Add at least one GOCLAW_*_API_KEY to .env, then:
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.postgres.yml \
-f docker-compose.selfservice.yml up -d
# Web Dashboard at http://localhost:3000
# Health check: curl http://localhost:18790/healthWhen GOCLAW_*_API_KEY environment variables are set, the gateway auto-onboards without interactive prompts — detects provider, runs migrations, and seeds default data.
For build variants (OTel, Tailscale, Redis), Docker image tags, and compose overlays, see the Deployment Guide.
GoClaw supports agent teams and inter-agent delegation — each agent runs with its own identity, tools, LLM provider, and context files.
| Mode | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sync | Agent A asks Agent B and waits for the answer | Quick lookups, fact checks |
| Async | Agent A asks Agent B and moves on. B announces later | Long tasks, reports, deep analysis |
Agents communicate through explicit permission links with direction control (outbound, inbound, bidirectional) and concurrency limits at both per-link and per-agent levels.
- Shared task board — Create, claim, complete, search tasks with
blocked_bydependencies - Team mailbox — Direct peer-to-peer messaging and broadcasts
- Tools:
team_tasksfor task management,team_messagefor mailbox
For delegation details, permission links, and concurrency control, see the Agent Teams docs.
