ZeroClaw is an agent runtime — a single Rust binary you configure and run. It talks to LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, and ~20 others), reaches the world through 30+ channels (Discord, Telegram, Matrix, email, voice, webhooks, your own CLI), and acts through tools (shell, browser, HTTP, hardware, custom MCP servers). Everything runs on your machine, with your keys, in your workspace.

Read the [Philosophy](docs/book/src/philosophy/index.md) for the four opinions that shape it.

## Install

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw/master/install.sh | bash
```

Or clone and run:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw.git
cd zeroclaw
./install.sh
```

The installer asks whether you want a prebuilt binary (fast, ~seconds) or a source build (slower, customisable). Both end the same way: `zeroclaw quickstart` kicks off automatically.

> **Working on the docs?** The translated documentation catalogues live in a
> git submodule (`docs/book/po`). The Rust build does not need it, but building
> or syncing the docs does. Clone with it, or add it to an existing clone:
>
> ```bash
> git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw.git
> git submodule update --init docs/book/po   # existing clone
> ```

Flags:

```
./install.sh --prebuilt              # always prebuilt; don't ask
./install.sh --source                # always build from source
./install.sh --preset minimal        # kernel-only source preset (~6.6 MB)
./install.sh --minimal               # alias for --preset minimal
./install.sh --source --features agent-runtime,channel-discord  # custom feature set
./install.sh --apps zerocode         # select apps to install; use "none" to skip all
./install.sh --without-tui           # skip building zerocode
./install.sh --with-gateway          # force gateway support on
./install.sh --without-gateway       # force gateway support off
./install.sh --prefix /tmp/zc-test   # install under a custom prefix
./install.sh --dry-run --prebuilt    # preview without installing
./install.sh --skip-quickstart       # install only, run `zeroclaw quickstart` later
./install.sh --list-features         # print available feature flags
./install.sh --uninstall             # remove ZeroClaw
```
