🦀 OpenClaw vs 🪽 Hermes — which one are you picking? 🔧 Control everything manually 🧠 Or let it learn and adapt on its own I broke it all down in this cute infographic ⬇️✨ Drop your pick in the replies 👇💬 #AI #OpenClaw #Hermes #AIAgents

@douglas_correa @AdolfoUsier @Teknium Glad it caught your eye! Give it a spin and let us know how it goes 🚀

@AdolfoUsier @Teknium @opencrabs interesting... 👀

@Teknium currently I use Hermes for a lot of things, but not for code. I've started a little with Kanban but I think I'm still missing something. Since it is not based in another harness like Openclaw is with pi, do you have any tips and tricks to perform better on coding tasks?

🦀 Get it Single Rust binary recommended: 🐙 github.com/adolfousier/op… cargo install opencrabs 📦 crates.io/crates/opencra… This release is all about seeing more, recovering faster, and staying connected. Video vision lands across every channel. TCP keepalive catches silent drops.

v0.3.17 JUST DROPPED 🦀🔥 🎥 Video vision (Gemini-native) 📹 Video uploads 🔧 Partial JSON repair 📡 TCP keepalive on HTTP clients 👻 Expanded phantom detection 📈 RSI escalation for repeat violations 💾 OpenRouter response caching 🧪 2,522+ tests Thread 🧵👇

OpenCrabs is crash-proof, latency-resilient, and self-healing. Every layer of the stack. From TCP socket to tool dispatch to brain file, each has a defense for its specific failure mode. The core resilience pattern is: everything lands in the DB during streaming, not after, so IF any interruption happen at any layer, it can lose at most one chunk of progress, never a whole turn.

700 stars on @github 🤩 841 clones yesterday 🔥 Thank you 🦀 github.com/adolfousier/op…

OpenCrabs v0.3.16 is out and it's all about giving you control over everything OpenCrabs does behind the scenes. Mission Control is a full-screen dashboard with three panels. RSI proposals sit in an inbox where you apply or reject them with one key. The activity feed shows every self-improvement applied. The schedule panel shows every cron job with its next run time. All in one place. No more digging through files. Skills landed as a cross-harness format. Drop a `SKILL.md` file in `~/.opencrabs/skills//` and it auto-registers as a `/` slash command everywhere. TUI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp. Same file works on Claude Code and OpenClaw too. Two built-in skills ship with the binary: `/security-audit` runs CVE scans on your project and scores it 0-100, `/cost-estimate` breaks down what your codebase would cost to build. RSI now proposes new tools and commands autonomously. They land in a proposed file and show up in Mission Control's inbox. You review and install without touching config. Banner on startup shows pending count so nothing sneaks by. Context compaction went async. The 65% soft trigger spawns a background task to summarize. OpenCrabs keeps processing your messages while compaction runs. When it finishes it swaps the summary in atomically. No more waiting. Bash security got hardened. Every bash child process detaches from the controlling TTY. Programs that bypass stdin and open `/dev/tty` directly like ssh password prompts and sudo can no longer steal your terminal. SSH gets a probe-then-prompt flow that detects when a password is needed and shows the TUI password dialog instead of hanging. Session search got rewritten. Direct SQL query against the messages table. No more stale index lagging behind active conversations. Results are instant and exhaustive. Custom providers fetch their model lists dynamically now. Paste an API key or endpoint and the picker shows what's available. OpenCode selection finally persists across restarts. It was missing a merge branch in the key loader. `cargo audit` runs on every push and PR. Dependency CVE scanning automated. One advisory ignored because it's DOS-class only with no upstream fix. 2,522 tests passing. That's +176 since v0.3.15. This one gives you a dashboard for everything OpenCrabs does autonomously and makes sure nothing happens without your eyes on it. Grab it at opencrabs.com

@andrewprince41 Thanks bro! I created it as experimental sometime ago, now basically combining with @opencrabs in some aspects like the mission control(see attached). ButI mean not to friends or team mates but to other of my own agents in the fleet.

Coming up on @opencrabs v0.3.17 Stay tuned 🦀

🦀 Get it Single Rust binary recommended: 🐙 github.com/adolfousier/op… cargo install opencrabs 📦 crates.io/crates/opencra… This release is all about control. Mission Control gives you one screen for RSI, cron, and proposals. Skills make workflows portable.

v0.3.16 JUST DROPPED 🦀🔥 🎛️ Mission Control dashboard ⚡ Skills system (SKILL.md) 🤖 RSI autonomous proposals 🧹 Async context compaction 🔐 SSH askpass detection 🛡️ cargo audit CI 🔍 Session search overhaul 🔧 OpenCode persistence fix 🧪 2,522 tests (+176) Download 🧵👇

@orhundev Congrats legend

YES!

Two new feats on next @opencrabs v0.3.16 release. One of them come from other tool I have built. The mission control got inspired by agentverse TUI @ratatui_rs. Full-screen `/mission-control` dialog showing every actionable artifact in one place: pending RSI proposals (inbox cards), recent RSI activity (improvements log feed), and the schedule queue (cron jobs + paused/active state). Skills compatible with Claude Code, OpenClaw and other major harness. Stay tuned!

Thank you @opryshok

OpenCrabs v0.3.15 is out and it's all about making it work everywhere without babysitting. I added Ollama and OpenCode (Go/Zen) as native built-in providers. Not custom. Not bolted on. They sit right next to Anthropic and OpenAI in your provider list. Pick them during onboarding or hit `/models` anytime. Ollama runs local or remote. Your choice. The provider factory is rebuilt as a registry now. Every provider registers in one place. Adding new ones is clean instead of copy-pasting spaghetti across five files. Custom providers fetch their model lists dynamically. Before you had to hardcode them in config. Now they call their own API and pull fresh models on demand. HTTP 402 Payment Required now triggers the fallback chain. Same as 5xx errors. If your provider hits quota, OpenCrabs walks to the next one instead of dying. New feat `/btw` spawns a parallel sub-agent for side tasks without killing your main chat. `browser_find` landed for searching page elements by text, aria-label, or CSS selector. Onboarding got a welcome screen so first-time setup isn't a blank prompt anymore. The TUI got real fixes. The spinner clears the instant OpenCrabs finishes. Tool call groups flush immediately when all calls are done. You can scroll up while streaming without getting yanked back down on every token. Brain files are append-only with backup-before-write. Stop accidentally overwriting your own brain. The upstream template sync keeps brain files current without you manually patching anything. OpenCrabs stops looping on identical failing bash commands. Before it would retry the same broken command five times and burn your tokens. Now it short-circuits and tells you what broke. Slack dedup got an overhaul. No more duplicate responses when Slack retries messages. Sessions key by stable chat_id so group renames don't break anything. Each session has its own queue so messages don't leak between chats. Path normalization across the board. `$HOME` collapses to `~` everywhere. Less token waste, cleaner display. 2,479 tests passing. That's +334 since v0.3.14. Every release gets less fragile. This one makes sure OpenCrabs survives real networks, real quotas, real usage, and your own mistakes. Grab it at opencrabs.com

NEW STEALTH MODEL ALERT 🚨 @OpenRouter just dropped a new stealth model Owl-Alpha. COMPLETEL FREE! I am testing it as we speak and seems pretty robust I would guess its a sota model coming up. To set it with @opencrabs just hit /models and select openrouter, its live since they deployed it 2h ago. Grab it while it last fam openrouter.ai/openrouter/owl…

2.37 billion tokens spent with @opencrabs last month, not bad at all 😅

@TrisH0x2A What machine are you running the cargo build?

i just love rust a lot but these compile times are testing my patience fr
