What metaclaw-evolving-agent does

MetaClaw sits in front of your LLM as an OpenAI-compatible proxy. Clients point at http://localhost:<port>, and the agent intercepts each turn, pulls relevant skills into the system prompt, and stores the exchange in an experience buffer. The skill covers installation, the metaclaw setup wizard, and three run modes: skills injection alone, immediate RL training, or madmax, where a scheduler pushes weight updates into idle and sleep windows.

You get guidance on ~/.metaclaw/config.yaml, the environment variables, and the Python API — MetaClawAgent, SkillStore, SkillInjector, ExperienceBuffer, RLTrainer, RewardModel. The skills_only mode needs no GPU. RL training wants METACLAW_TINKER_API_KEY, or METACLAW_MINT_API_KEY when the backend is mint. Meeting detection in the scheduler reads OAuth credentials from GOOGLE_CALENDAR_CREDENTIALS_PATH.

Set METACLAW_LLM_API_KEY before anything else. Without it the proxy has no upstream model to forward to, and metaclaw start gets you nowhere. Installation runs from the local repo with pip install -e . plus extras: [rl], [evolve], [scheduler].

What it helps with

  • stand up a proxy agent in front of an existing LLM endpoint
  • inject retrieved skills into the system prompt each turn
  • record conversation turns into an experience buffer for training
  • run batched GRPO training without a local GPU
  • defer weight updates to sleep hours and idle time

Example prompts for the agent

  • Run metaclaw setup, then start MetaClaw in skills_only mode
  • Start metaclaw start in madmax mode so training waits for idle time
  • Add a code-review-checklist skill to SkillStore and inject it into queries

Questions about metaclaw-evolving-agent

How do I install metaclaw-evolving-agent in Claude Code?

Run npx skills add reason-machines/trending-skills --skill metaclaw-evolving-agent -a claude-code. The skill lands in ~/.claude/skills/metaclaw-evolving-agent/SKILL.md.

What does metaclaw-evolving-agent do?

It handles MetaClaw deployment and configuration: the setup wizard, the three operating modes, environment variables, and Python API examples for skill injection and RL training.

What does MetaClaw need for RL mode?

A METACLAW_TINKER_API_KEY, or METACLAW_MINT_API_KEY if the backend is mint. Training fires once the experience buffer holds a full batch.
