OpenClaw Shell Agent

A local-first agent that runs shell scripts triggered from WhatsApp voice notes.

The idea

Every time I'm out and remember a command I should've run on my dev machine, I have to wait until I'm back at the laptop. This agent listens for WhatsApp voice notes, transcribes them, and runs the matching shell script locally — no SSH, no friction.

How it works

  1. WhatsApp message → webhook
  2. Whisper transcribes
  3. A small LLM matches intent to a script in ~/openclaw/scripts
  4. Confirmation reply with stdout

Status

Working prototype on macOS. Still figuring out the auth model for letting an LLM execute commands without it being terrifying.
