UniCORE.OpenClaw

    **SCAFFOLD-ANCHOR repository — initial commit 2026-06-05 18:51 UTC.**

    Full scaffolding, upstream-fork integration, and source-code work all pending a fresh dedicated kickoff arc. This initial commit exists to lock the repository's identity, licence position, and place in the UniCORE Sanity Check fleet so the work cannot be forgotten.

    ## What this repository is

    `bryanunitek/UniCORE.OpenClaw` is the **OpenClaw** family member: On-prem-deployment-shape public gift surface. Documentation today; source code at certification.

    **Family purpose:** Personal AI assistant runtime + control plane. Multi-channel (WhatsApp / Telegram / Slack / Discord / Signal / iMessage / Teams / Matrix / and more), skills system, Canvas UI, native macOS / iOS / Android speech, gateway-managed installation. The substrate that powers MyClaw.ai.

    **Role in UniCORE:** AI-assistant runtime substrate — the building block on which Unitek's own Linux-server AI assistant (UnitekClaw Server, naming TBC) will be built. UniCORE.OpenClaw provides the runtime and channel surface; downstream Vertical-CORE Claws layer the Unitek brand, customer deployment configuration, and any private skill set on top.

    ## Upstream

    - **Upstream project:** [https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw)
    - **Upstream licence:** MIT
    - **Our relationship:** Fork-and-extend. Upstream codebase is consumed verbatim under its original licence; our additions sit on top under CC BY 4.0.

    **Our additions:** UniCORE.OpenClaw will add Unitek-authored skills, Vertical-CORE-aware integrations, branded Canvas surfaces, and any UniCORE-programme governance hooks (Nine-Invariants, attestation, sanity-check enrolment) that surface through the assistant runtime. All UniCORE-authored content ships CC BY 4.0 on top of the MIT base. Trademark "MyClaw" remains with OpenClaw Foundation; no UniCORE work uses that name.

    The merge discipline that governs how this repository absorbs upstream changes without losing UniCORE additions is documented in [`UPSTREAM-MERGE-DISCIPLINE.md`](UPSTREAM-MERGE-DISCIPLINE.md) at the root of this repository.
