# zeroclaw

![cmdop — messenger for AI agents](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/commandoperator/assets/b72b9ac6c796b958a038f684b323c7be49a49c9d/promo/social.webp)

**Installer for the [cmdop](https://cmdop.com) CLI** — one binary, zero config, an AI agent on your machine.

```bash
pip install zeroclaw
zeroclaw
```

That's it. `zeroclaw` detects your platform, downloads the `cmdop` binary,
verifies it against the published checksums, installs it, and hands over.

There is no configuration file to write before this works. No endpoint to set, no key to paste into a YAML file, no directory layout to get right first.

`cmdop` is a single executable with sensible defaults, and this package is a stdlib-only installer that puts it in `~/.local/bin` and runs it.

**How does CMDOP compare?**

## Defaults that are the whole configuration

The install directory, the platform detection, and the download source are all resolved for you; the flags below exist for when you want something else, not because you need them.

Configuration is something you reach for later, if at all — not a prerequisite for finding out whether this is useful.

## What is cmdop

One executable that is the agent, the relay, the local server and the web
console at once. There is no gateway, backend, database server or broker to
stand up — you add one binary to a machine you already own.

- run an AI agent on your own machine, with your own tools
- reach it from anywhere: terminal, files, remote execution
- connect machines into a fleet
- works with Claude Code and other agent engines under the hood

## Usage

```bash
zeroclaw                    # install cmdop (if needed), then run it
zeroclaw --install-only     # install, don't hand over
zeroclaw --prefix ~/bin     # choose the install directory
zeroclaw --force            # reinstall even if already present
zeroclaw --quiet            # print only the installed path
zeroclaw -- --help          # everything after `--` goes to cmdop
```

Default install directory is `~/.local/bin` (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\cmdop\bin` on
Windows). No `sudo`, no system directories.

## What it does, precisely

1. Detects your OS and architecture.
2. Fetches `SHA256SUMS` from `install.cmdop.com`.
3. Downloads the matching binary to a temporary file.
4. **Verifies the SHA-256 against the published checksum.** On mismatch it
   aborts and installs nothing.
5. Moves the verified binary into the install directory and marks it
   executable.
6. Runs it.

Supported: macOS (Apple Silicon, Intel), Linux (x64, arm64), Windows (x64).

## What it does not do

- **No side effects at install time.** `pip install zeroclaw` only unpacks
  files. Nothing is downloaded or executed until you run `zeroclaw`.
- **No network access on import.** `import zeroclaw` touches nothing.
- **No telemetry.** The package sends no analytics, ever.
- **No dependencies.** Standard library only, so there is nothing to conflict
  with what you already have installed.

## Python API

The installer is importable if you would rather script it:

```python
import zeroclaw

target = zeroclaw.detect()
print(target.label, target.asset)

result = zeroclaw.install()
print(result.path, result.sha256)
```

`zeroclaw.install()` raises `zeroclaw.InstallError` with a user-facing message
on any failure, and `zeroclaw.UnsupportedPlatform` when there is no published
binary for the current machine.
