Open Claw의 역사와 구조
OpenClaw ·
요약: Open Claw/OpenClaw는 채널·Gateway·LLM 기반 Agent·Tools·Skills·Plugins·OS로 이루어진 개인 에이전트 런타임입니다. 오픈소스는 빠르게 변하므로 README·Release를 확인하세요. 무관 홍보는 제거했습니다. 아래는 영어 기술 본문입니다.
OpenClaw (often written Open Claw) is a personal agent runtime, not “just another chat UI.” This article gives a OpenClaw tutorial-level map of how pieces fit together—useful context before openclaw install and openclaw deploy—and notes why openclaw updates matter.

Mental model
| Metaphor | Piece | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Brain | LLM | Understands, plans, answers. |
| Nervous system | Agent runtime | Scheduling, memory, routing, adapters. |
| Hands & feet | Tools | Browser, files, cron, APIs. |
| Playbooks | Skills | When/how to run tools. |
| Extensions | Plugins | GitHub, mail, calendars, more. |
| Front desk | Gateway | AuthN/Z, sessions, dispatch. |
Project notes (public chatter, verify independently)
Open-source effort tied to well-known iOS/mac dev community figures; branding and features evolved quickly—treat blog posts as orientation, not legal fact.
