What is a bclaw?
A long-running claw that lives in your Slack
bclaw is short for “BusinessClaw” — an opinionated deployment of hermes-agent configured as a long-running agent in your workspace. Each generated repo is one specific agent with its own Slack app and identity.
@swe-pal
A “Devin”-style teammate
Spin up a claw that handles code reviews, opens pull requests, and works alongside your engineers — right inside the channels they already use.
@reportclaw
A scheduled reporter
Or a claw that posts reports at scheduled times to the channels you choose. Create, customize, and deploy as many as you like.
Under the hood, each claw runs hermes-agent on our hardened harness image — all deployed to your own AWS account, fully under your control.
Install
From zero to a running claw in five steps
One command scaffolds the repo; a handful of skills take it the rest of the way. Everything runs in your own AWS account.
terminal
$ npx @boldblackai/create-bclaw swe-palNo name? npm init @boldblackai/bclaw works too — you'll be prompted for one.
- 01
Generate your bclaw repo
Run the generator with a name for your agent. It scaffolds a complete repository — a set of skills wired up for deployment.
$ npx @boldblackai/create-bclaw swe-pal - 02
Wire up AWS + Slack
Follow the generated README to create the IAM user and policy for your AWS keys, then create and install the Slack app into your workspace to get its app and bot tokens for .env.
- 03
Open it in your harness
The generated repo is a set of skills — open it in your favorite harness: Pi, Hermes, or OpenCode.
- 04
Run /setup-bclaw
The setup skill prompts you for an inference provider. OpenRouter, Z.AI, and Anthropic are supported out of the box, plus anything else hermes-agent supports.
- 05
Manage it over time
Use /manage-bclaw to update the running image version, edit skills, or tweak SOUL.md. To remove it cleanly, run /teardown-bclaw.
What you get
Production-shaped from the first deploy
Every claw ships on the same hardened foundation we run ourselves — no glue code, no half-finished infrastructure.
02
Slack + GitHub, built in
Each claw ships with Slack and GitHub integration so it can review code, open pull requests, and respond right where your team already works.
03
Persisted & backed up
State lives on AWS EFS with backups, so your claw keeps its memory and context across restarts and image updates.
04
Your account, your control
Everything deploys into your own AWS account: a CloudFormation stack, scoped IAM roles, KMS-encrypted SSM, and an isolated ECS cluster per claw.
