All writing ↗11,892 Probabilities, 48 Cents: What Happened When I Let Jev Grade All 227 of NetClaw’s Skills
TypeSafe’s Jev doesn’t write a single word back — it returns a calibrated probability in under half a second. I pointed 11,892 of those probabilities at every skill in NetClaw: what’s missing, what silently overlaps, and one bug a probabili
Twenty-Three Specs in Six Days: What Happened When I Handed NetClaw a Roadmap
I wrote down twenty-five gaps in what NetClaw could actually reach, ordered them by dependency, and set one rule: one item, one spec, one branch, no batching. Six days later twenty-three specs had merged — twelve new MCP servers, twenty-thr
BISQUE: NetClaw gets a bookshelf — an offline, agentic RAG knowledge base

Claws that prove who they are: certificate security comes to NetClaw federation
NetClaw federation used to trust a peer’s identity on its say-so, in the clear. Claw Certification adds TLS encryption and real cryptographic identity — domain-verified via Let’s Encrypt or pinned trust-on-first-use — and we cut the first c
NetClaws, Assemble: introducing N2N Federation and the NCFED protocol
NetClaw’s mesh could always tell you who was online. Now it tells you what they can do — and lets you use it. Introducing N2N Federation and NCFED, a new protocol for federating AI network engineers safely.
Giving NetClaw Eyes and Hands: From Browser Control to Full Desktop Control
Most of what NetClaw does, it does through APIs — gNMI, REST, NETCONF, GraphQL. That’s the right way to automate a network: structured, auditable, repeatable. But real networks are messy, and not everything worth touching has a clean API be
