In this post, I'll start from scratch and build up to OpenClaw's architecture step by step, showing how you could have invented it yourself from first principles, using nothing but a messaging API, an LLM, and the desire to make AI actually useful outside the chat window.

End goal: understand how persistent AI assistants work, so you can build your own (or become an OpenClaw power user).

First, let's establish the problem

When you use ChatGPT or Claude in a browser, there are several limitations:

Connect via SSH to a Slurm compute job that runs as Enroot container

Being able to SSH directly into a compute job has the advantage of using all remote development tools such as using your IDE's debugger also for GPU jobs (VSCode, PyCharm, ...).

• Slurm: Scheduling system that many HPC clusters use
• Enroot: Container system like Docker for NVIDIA GPUs

Obfuscating Python

Obfuscation isn't difficult in most programming languages. It's why we have "good practices" because it is so easy to hide what you mean in badly written code.

Obfuscation tends to be even easier in dynamic languages because of how forgiving they tend to be - and because they tend to give you direct access to the environment so that you can manipulate it.

Today, for fun, I'm going to obfuscate this code:

def _(n):

if n <= 0:
