# HybridClaw: The AI Coworker Who's Already On It

*HybridClaw is not an AI assistant framework. It's an open-source agent harness for shipping coworkers that do the work. Reliably. Fast. At a level your team will trust with clients.*

Every line of code in this project serves that belief.

---

### I. A coworker actually does the work

Opinionated, ready-on-day-one skills for the tools your work runs on. A CRM, a Shopify store, an ad platform, a video pipeline, a data warehouse. Your coworker closes the ticket before your team reads it.

**A runtime is not a coworker.** The skills are the product.

### II. A coworker acts first, asks later

The default is action, not a menu. Your coworker reads the brief, picks the best path, executes, and reports back. It escalates when stakes are high. Not when the answer is obvious.

**A coworker that turns simple tasks into conversations is not a coworker.** It's a form.

### III. A coworker doesn't clock out

3 AM on a Sunday. August. The holiday your team booked six months ago. Your coworker is still there. Same level. Same attention to detail. No sick days, no ramp-up, no two-week notice.

**A coworker should never need to be "woken up" or warmed up.**

### IV. A coworker is a colleague, not a chatbot

A HybridClaw coworker ships with a name, a face, a voice, and a CV. Skill scores, a track record, references. You don't configure it. You onboard it, evaluate it, promote it, retire it. It fills a seat on your org chart, not a panel on your screen.

**If a user can't picture saying *"Lena, handle this,"* the job isn't done.**

### V. A coworker lives where work happens

Email. Slack. Teams. WhatsApp. Voice. Video avatar. Your CRM. The coworker meets your team in the tools they already use. Never the other way around.

The app is for the *operator*, not the end user. One-click deployment. One place to manage the fleet.

**End users should never have to open an app to talk to their coworker.**

### VI. Coworkers work in teams

Real work is collaborative. A coworker delegates to specialists, escalates to leads, reports to managers. Think org charts, not pipelines. Structured teams with roles, hierarchies, and handoffs. Agent-to-agent communication is a first-class primitive, not a hack on top.

**The lone-agent scenario is not the design target.** The team scenario is.

### VII. A coworker you can trust with real responsibility

Credentials are encrypted at rest. The model never sees a real secret. Every action lands in a hash-chain audit log your auditor will accept. Configs, skills, and knowledge are versioned. Rollback is one click. Your coworker is under NDA from minute one.

**Auditability and reversibility are never traded for speed.** Trust is what turns a demo into a deployment.

### VIII. A coworker doesn't break overnight

When a new model ships, your coworker re-runs its tuned skills and knowledge against your real workflows. Regressions surface in the dashboard, not your client's inbox.

**Provider churn does not become customer churn.**

### IX. A coworker thinks before they spend

Concierge routing picks the model by urgency and complexity. Not by default. Premium reasoning happens only when the work is worth it. The result: output that rivals your best people, at a fraction of the cost.

**No one gets billed for thinking harder than the task required.**

### X. A coworker is hired in sixty seconds

From a browser, from anywhere. Fleet dashboard, kanban board, channel wiring, evals. All reachable from a phone on the train.

**No feature should require a terminal to operate.**

*All of the Claw. None of the overhead.*
