EJClaw

Dual-agent AI assistant (Claude Code + Codex) over Discord.

Forked from qwibitai/nanoclaw, heavily customized for production use.

Overview

Two AI agents running as parallel systemd services on a single host:

• Claude Code (@claude) — Anthropic Agent SDK, adaptive thinking, Opus/Sonnet
• Codex (@codex) — OpenAI Codex app-server (JSON-RPC), GPT-5.4, xhigh reasoning

Both share the same codebase (dist/index.js), differentiated by environment variables. No containers — direct host processes for zero overhead.

Features

• Dual-agent architecture — Claude Code + Codex as parallel services, shared SQLite (WAL mode)
• Browser automation — gstack browse skill, headless Chromium daemon, ~100ms/command
• Voice transcription — Groq Whisper (primary) / OpenAI Whisper (fallback), shared file cache with dedup
• Bidirectional images — receive Discord attachments as multimodal input, send screenshots back
• MCP integration — Memento (persistent cross-session memory)
• Skill sync — single source of truth, auto-synced to all agent sessions
• Priority queue — per-group serialization, global concurrency limit
• Session persistence — resume conversations across restarts
• Scheduled tasks — cron/interval/once via MCP tool
• Mid-turn steering — inject follow-up messages while agent is working (both agents)
