The agent can change; the project, process, authority, and evidence remain. --- ## What OpenClaw does well OpenClaw is an open-source agent harness that runs on your own machines, with configuration that lives in files you can read and version. --- ## What Auteur adds For someone using OpenClaw, Auteur would add a persistent project that keeps its own canon and evidence instead of losing them to the session; governed multi-round campaigns; production tools beyond code; and canonical receipts that verify what actually changed independently of the agent's own claim. OpenClaw would stay your interface, Auteur is the amplification and accountability layer behind it. --- ## How it connects Auteur would expose its control surface over the Model Context Protocol, and any MCP-capable harness would be a candidate seat. - **Client.** OpenClaw would operate authorized Auteur domains as an MCP control surface. - **Executor.** OpenClaw would run as a Build campaign seat under an executor profile, headless. - **Direct model.** Auteur does not call an OpenClaw-specific model lane. --- ## Which Auteur products it reaches By design, an OpenClaw client connection would address the Auteur domains you are entitled to, writing and story, prep, film, game, learning, and the Build campaign system. Reachability is not entitlement: which domains you can operate depends on what you hold. --- ## What is measurable Auteur measures the work that runs through it, deriving token and cost accounting from the record of what it ran. Auteur never invents missing usage data; missing = unknown, never zero. No token or cost figure is ever shown for work performed outside Auteur's visibility. --- ## What this integration does not do - It does not offer an OpenClaw-specific direct-model lane. --- ## Security and authority boundary Connecting OpenClaw would not grant it wildcard authority over your files, spending, publication, or application changes. The connection is an interface, not a grant of authority, what a connected agent may do stays governed by Auteur, not widened by connecting it. --- ## Current status Current per-mode status is shown above. --- ## Proof No published evidence yet. When a natural-language canary is recorded against OpenClaw, this section will link it. Follow progress on the [roadmap](https://auteurintelligence.com/roadmap/). --- ## Set it up If you work in OpenClaw and want to be part of the compatibility testing, the invited local connection is the place to start: **Request Invitation**, [/founding-beta/?track=invite](https://auteurintelligence.com/founding-beta/?track=invite). A small, deliberately limited cohort; this starts a conversation with us, and seats, when offered, are paid. --- ## Affiliation Auteur is designed to connect with OpenClaw. No partnership, endorsement, or certification is claimed, and none exists.
