Concepts

These pages explain how RantAIClaw works, not how to use it. Read them when you want to:

  • understand the runtime well enough to extend it
  • decide where to plug in new behavior
  • reason about failure modes and security boundaries
PageWhat it covers
ArchitectureThe trait + factory pattern, subsystem map, blast-radius tiers
ProfilesThe per-profile workspace under ~/.rantaiclaw/profiles/<name>/
Agent LoopHow a single message flows from channel to tool to reply
Autonomy LevelsThe 3-level runtime enum and the L1–L4 onboarding presets
Channels & ProvidersThe two big extension points and why they are separate
Tools & SkillsWhat an agent can do — and the difference between a tool and a skill
MemoryBackends, hybrid recall, and persistence
Gateway & Live ConfigThe HTTP control plane: pairing, webhooks, triggers
MCP ServersModel Context Protocol supervisor (process-only today)
Security ModelSandboxing, allowlists, secret store, audit logging

If you are looking for a step-by-step “first agent” walkthrough, that lives in Getting Started. If you are looking for what to type, see Reference.
