Simple LoopClaw is a platform for organizing AI coding assistants, meant to make AI assisted programming easier for individual developers to set up and use. It combines local command line AI coding tools with a desktop app, letting you watch and manage what an AI agent is doing as it edits files and runs terminal commands. The README states plainly that this project is built on top of Claude Code source code that leaked from Anthropic's npm registry in March 2026, and that all rights to that original code belong to Anthropic. The author says the project and any modified versions are meant strictly for education, study, and research, and explicitly prohibits commercial use, resale, or distribution. The project brings together ideas from two other open source projects: one contributing a fuller local AI engine with support for custom Model Context Protocol tools and an Electron plus React desktop interface, and the other contributing a simpler setup experience, including a dedicated Windows launcher script so Windows users do not need to configure WSL or a Bash environment. It also adds connectors for messaging platforms including Feishu, DingTalk, WeChat, QQ, Telegram, and WhatsApp, so a coding agent can be reached through chat apps. Key features described include a visual desktop panel that shows each file change and terminal command the AI performs with an approval step to prevent accidental damage, support for switching between AI providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Ollama, and built in tool support following the Model Context Protocol. To get started you need Node.js version 22 or newer, and there are separate startup scripts for Windows versus macOS and Linux, plus a way to run the Electron based desktop app for a visual interface. The project's license is described as educational use only, with commercial use, distribution, or resale strictly prohibited.
A desktop and CLI platform for running local AI coding agents, built on leaked Claude Code source and licensed for education only.
