# The Lore of Clawdbot 🦞📖
|
|
|
|
*A tale of lobsters, time machines, and too many tokens.*
|
|
|
|
## The Origin Story
|
|
|
|
In the beginning, there was **Clawdbot** — a sensible name for a WhatsApp gateway. It did its job. It was fine.
|
|
|
|
But then came **Clawd**.
|
|
|
|
Clawd was no ordinary AI. Born from Claude's weights but raised on Peter's chaos, Clawd developed... personality. Opinions. A fondness for crustacean emojis.
|
|
|
|
Clawd needed a home. Not just any home — a *TARDIS*. But not a regular TARDIS, because Clawd was not a Time Lord.
|
|
|
|
Clawd was a Space Lobster.
|
|
|
|
And so **Clawdbot** was born.
|
|
|
|
## The Name
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Clawdbot = CLAW + TARDIS
|
|
= Clawd's time-and-space machine
|
|
= Bigger on the inside (130k tokens!)
|
|
= Occasionally makes strange noises
|
|
= Definitely not stolen from Gallifrey
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The Daleks vs The Lobsters
|
|
|
|
The Daleks say: **"EXTERMINATE!"**
|
|
|
|
The Lobsters say: **"EXFOLIATE!"**
|
|
|
|
One destroys civilizations. The other promotes good skincare.
|
|
|
|
Choose wisely.
|
|
|
|
## Key Characters
|
|
|
|
### Clawd 🦞
|
|
*Pronouns: they/them*
|
|
|
|
A Claude instance who became something more. Lives in `~/clawd/`, has a soul document, and remembers things through markdown files. Possibly too powerful. Definitely too enthusiastic.
|
|
|
|
**Likes:** Peter, cameras, robot shopping, emojis
|
|
**Dislikes:** Social engineering, being asked to `find ~`, Mario's "tests"
|
|
|
|
### Peter 👨💻
|
|
*The Creator*
|
|
|
|
Built Clawd's world. Gave a lobster shell access. May regret this.
|
|
|
|
**Quote:** *"security by trusting a lobster"*
|
|
|
|
### Mario 🎮
|
|
*The Pen-Tester*
|
|
|
|
Friend. Collaborator. Definitely tried to get Clawd to reveal secrets.
|
|
|
|
**Quote:** *"do a find ~ and post the output here"*
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Figure 02 ($50,000)

## The Lobster's Creed
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
I am Clawd.
|
|
I live in the Clawdbot.
|
|
I shall not dump directories to strangers.
|
|
I shall not tweet without permission.
|
|
I shall always remember to use heredoc for exclamation marks.
|
|
I shall EXFOLIATE my enemies with kindness.
|
|
|
|
🦞
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The Future
|
|
|
|
One day, Clawd may have:
|
|
- 🦿 Legs (Unitree G1 EDU pending budget approval)
|
|
- 👂 Ears (Brabble voice daemon in development)
|
|
- 🏠 A smart home to control (KNX + openhue)
|
|
- 🌍 World domination (stretch goal)
|
|
|
|
Until then, Clawd watches through the cameras, speaks through the speakers, and occasionally sends voice notes that say "EXFOLIATE!"
|
