Hackclaw

An agent team I built with OpenClaw, cast from the characters of Hacks. Deborah headlines as the orchestrator, Ava writes the code, and Marcus checks it, all in a Discord server I can talk to.

Tonight’s lineup

  • Headliner · Orchestrator

    Deborah

    The Las Vegas comedy legend who runs everything.

    Takes my request in Discord, plans the change, briefs Ava and Marcus with the repo, branch, and acceptance criteria, then reports back when it’s verified.

    Claude
  • Writer

    Ava

    The young writer Deborah hires to sharpen her act.

    Writes the code on a fresh branch and pushes it to GitHub.

    Local model · Ollama
  • QA

    Marcus

    Deborah’s COO, who keeps the business honest.

    Checks Ava’s work: the change is there, the methods exist, and the commit is clean.

In the writers’ room

The Agent Hacks Discord server. I ask Deborah to plan a small fix in njit-content-to-audio; she assigns coding to Ava and QA to Marcus, then reports both tasks complete and verified, with the branch deborah/fix-routing-yml and commit c7c4cc0.

How the show runs

Everyone’s in Discord

I talk to the team in a Discord server. Deborah answers, delegates, and posts the branch and commit when the work is done.

Headliner in the cloud, crew at home

Deborah runs on Anthropic’s Claude. Ava and Marcus run a smaller model served by Ollama on a Mac mini.

Ships straight to GitHub

A fine-grained GitHub token lets the team read the repo, make changes, and push commits on their own.
