GateClaw fork brings persistent "SOUL" to OpenCode agents

GateClaw transforms the OpenCode local agent into a persistent "resident" AI with a background daemon, long-term SQLite memory, and a SOUL.md personality layer. It bridges the gap between stateless code assistants and continuous, self-modeling digital entities accessible via Telegram, TUI, and Web interfaces.

// ANALYSIS

GateClaw is a bold pivot from the "stateless bot" paradigm toward a system-wide background service that maintains its own identity.

  • SOUL.md uses YAML frontmatter to define a persistent personality that survives session restarts and system reboots
  • Shared SQLite database enables cross-interface memory, ensuring the AI retains project context whether accessed via mobile or terminal
  • Forking OpenCode provides immediate high-level coding utility while solving its lack of long-term state
  • The "Resident Daemon" architecture allows the agent to perform background tasks and self-reflect unprompted
  • Early-stage v0.2.0-beta release shows significant promise for local-first, agentic workflows
