Use Claude Code hooks to run shell commands on agent events — auto-format after edits, block risky commands, log activity. The events, config, and working examples.
Point OpenClaw at DeepSeek for a self-hosted AI assistant that costs cents to run. The config, the OpenAI-compatible endpoint, key handling, and the gotchas.
OpenClaw is the viral open-source personal AI assistant that runs on your own machine and your own API keys. What it does, how it works, and why it took off.
The MCP servers actually worth installing in Claude Code in 2026 — GitHub, filesystem, Postgres, Playwright, fetch, Sentry, Slack, and memory. With add commands.
Install OpenClaw on Windows the reliable way — through WSL2. Prerequisites, Node.js, cloning and running OpenClaw, connecting a model, and the common gotchas.
Learn how Claude Code subagents work: separate context windows, custom system prompts, scoped tools, and per-agent model routing. Full example agent file included.
Pillar Guide
A map of OpenClaw — how to install it, point it at cheap models like DeepSeek and GLM, use skills and the coding agent, and pick between the popular forks.
Add MCP servers to Claude Code on Windows and WSL: claude mcp add, scopes, .mcp.json, verifying with /mcp, and the Windows cmd /c npx wrapper gotcha explained.
Build a minimal MCP server from scratch with the official TypeScript SDK, expose one tool over stdio, connect it to Claude Code, and test it end to end.
