# Claude Code Complete Agent
A working setup that demonstrates every major OpenClaw capability
using Claude Code's ecosystem: tools, MCP servers, plugins, hooks,
agents, skills, and triggers.
Companion repo for the article
[Every OpenClaw Feature, Covered by Claude Code](https://fromaitochitta.com/openclaw-vs-claude-code-every-feature-compared).
## Why this exists
OpenClaw has 247K GitHub stars and 20 major capabilities. It is the
fastest-growing open-source project in history. This repo shows that
Claude Code covers 18 of those 20 capabilities, with 11 full matches
and 7 different approaches. Two gaps remain: Gateway/Control Plane
and Canvas/A2UI.
This is not a theoretical comparison. Clone this repo, open Claude
Code, and try each example yourself.
## Prerequisites
- [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) v2.1.81+
- Node.js 18+ (only needed for Playwright MCP)
- A terminal (macOS or Linux)
No npm install. No Docker. No build step.
## Quickstart
```bash
git clone https://git.fromaitochitta.com/ktg/claude-code-complete-agent.git
cd claude-code-complete-agent
claude
```
Then try:
```
Paste the prompt from examples/01-agent-runtime/prompt.md
```
## What is in this repo
### Working configuration
| Path | What it does |
|------|-------------|
| `CLAUDE.md` | Project memory and instructions |
| `.claude/settings.json` | Permissions, deny lists, hook config |
| `.claude/agents/` | Three agents: researcher, writer, reviewer |
| `.claude/skills/` | Three skills: daily-briefing, slack-message, web-research |
| `.mcp.json` | Playwright MCP (disabled by default) |
| `hooks/` | Security hooks (pre-tool-use blocker, post-tool-use logger) |
### Documentation
| Path | What it covers |
|------|---------------|
| `security/` | Permission modes, hook patterns, NemoClaw comparison |
| `memory/` | How Claude Code memory works vs OpenClaw's vector search |
| `automation/` | Cron, launchd, /loop, /schedule |
| `messaging/` | Slack MCP, Telegram Channels, channel comparison |
| `browser/` | Playwright MCP setup and usage |
### Examples (try these)
| # | Example | Capability | OpenClaw equivalent |
|---|---------|-----------|-------------------|
| 01 | Agent Runtime | Tool execution loop | Long-running daemon |
| 02 | Shell and Files | Bash + file I/O | exec tool + read/write |
| 03 | Web Search | WebSearch + WebFetch | Brave Search + Firecrawl |
| 04 | Browser Automation | Playwright MCP | CDP/Playwright built-in |
| 05 | Memory System | CLAUDE.md + auto-memory | Daily logs + vector search |
| 06 | Multi-Agent | Agent Teams + SendMessage | Sub-agents + mesh |
| 07 | Messaging | MCP + Telegram Channels | 15+ native channels |
| 08 | Cron/Automation | /loop, CronCreate, /schedule | HEARTBEAT.md + cron |
| 09 | Security Hooks | PreToolUse/PostToolUse | Exec approvals + Docker |
| 10 | Full Pipeline | All capabilities combined | Complete workflow |
Each example has a self-contained prompt you can paste directly
into Claude Code.
## The feature map
See [feature-map.md](feature-map.md) for the complete 20-row
comparison table with verdicts and version requirements.
**Summary:** 11 full match, 7 different approach, 2 gaps.
## What Claude Code does not do (today)
**Gateway/Control Plane:** OpenClaw runs a WebSocket server with a
control UI and OpenAI-compatible API. Claude Code has no equivalent.
If you need a programmable HTTP interface to your agent, OpenClaw
is the better choice.
**Canvas/A2UI:** OpenClaw's canvas is an interactive HTML workspace
served by the gateway. Claude Code can generate HTML and preview it
via Playwright, but there is no persistent interactive surface.
These gaps matter most for always-on, multi-user automation. For
development and task execution, they are less relevant.
## Security note
The hooks in this repo demonstrate security patterns, but they are
examples, not a production security configuration. Review and
customize them for your environment:
- `hooks/pre-tool-use.sh` blocks known-dangerous commands
- `hooks/post-tool-use.sh` logs all tool executions
- `.claude/settings.json` has a permission deny list
Read `security/permission-modes-explained.md` before running
Claude Code on anything sensitive.
