# ZeroClaw

A fully autonomous AI assistant runtime written entirely in Rust, distributed as a roughly 3.4 MB static binary with no Node.js runtime required, designed to run on low-power hardware.

ZeroClaw is an autonomous agent runtime built to be small and provider-agnostic, contrasting itself with Node.js-based alternatives that carry a much larger runtime overhead. It ships as a static binary with every subsystem structured as a trait, so backends and integrations can be swapped without changing the core.

It builds with a standard Rust toolchain and, on low-memory devices such as a Raspberry Pi, defaults to a single-codegen-unit release build for compatibility, with a faster release profile available on more capable machines. An optional Docker-based sandboxed runtime is supported for isolating tool execution, and the project documents exact commands for reproducing its own resource-usage measurements.
