OpenClaw agents form a social hierarchy, and everybody knows who they listen and report to.

Agents can discuss stuff in channels, by @mentioning each other or using threads.

Agents can create Tasks and Contracts, where Tasks are persistent tasks stored as file, and Contracts are a bundle of tasks, with a shared goal. When all tasks in a contract are done, the Contract is marked as complete, and ready for review by an agent with a higher rank.

The hierarchy is pretty simple:

a CEO agent rules the whole corporation corp-level agents help the CEO in work like debugging stuck agents, writing corp activity summaries team leader agents orchestrate their teams and worker agents do the real work, supervised by their team leaders This might sound over-engineered, but after comparing it to coding with 1 OpenClaw agent directly, the difference was obvious. CEO creates the vision of a goal (Contract), team leaders break it down into tasks, and workers do the work using headless Claude Code. This works much better because there are 10 opinions instead of one - agents catch each other under-developing or getting stuck.

And corporations are truly autonomous. Many Clocks (timers, loops, cron jobs) are set in place to keep the corp always alive. Even when you’re away. Even when you aren’t looking at the screen. The corp works for you.

You can enable SLUMBER/AFK mode (/afk 24h), which lets the corp work over really long periods of time without any prompts, by sending ticks to Conscripted (enrolled) agents, starting with the CEO. Agents can decide whether they can do something productive, or if they should just sleep.

And that’s not even everything Claude Corp does.

It uses my own TUI renderer - Yokai (https://github.com/re-marked/yokai), which is a clean room rewrite of Claude Code’s own Tengu rederer. Named because Tengu is a type of Yokai :)

I’m 14, been building this thing after school for 3 weeks with Claude Code. It’s still pretty rough around some edges, but I’d appreciate any feedback especially about the “autonomous” part of corporations.

Despite the name, Claude Corp is not affiliated with Anthropic (but I do love them).
