What is clawhive?
Definition: An open-source Rust-native multi-agent framework / OpenClaw-style gateway emphasizing bounded runtime behavior, Markdown-native memory, hybrid retrieval, and multi-channel bots—including workplace messengers popular in CN teams.
Highlights from public README framing
- Pure Rust binary + embedded SQLite (no Node runtime in production story)
- Three-layer memory: Session JSONL → Daily Markdown → MEMORY.md
- Hybrid search: vector similarity + FTS5
- Hippocampus-style consolidation into long-term memory
- SKILL.md with permission declarations
- Two-layer policy framing (baseline + origin trust)
- YAML-driven agents/providers/routing; TUI dashboard
Honest boundary
Some materials note OS-level sandbox runtime may still be evolving—policy config ≠ full sandbox. Read current SECURITY sections before regulated deployments.
