It offers optional extras for specific functionalities and a TypeScript SDK for broader language. [MetaClaw](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.17187) reports 3.5k GitHub stars, 454 forks, and 17 open issues, last pushed Jun 7, 2026. [agent-learning-kit](https://futureagi.com) has 119 stars, 44 forks, and 19 open issues, last pushed Sep 18, 2026.
