Builds / OpenClaw with Claude Code Hands
OpenClaw with Claude Code Hands
An OpenClaw gateway that runs Claude Code natively, so a chat message becomes a reviewed code change.
Advanced build · Coding · 7 parts · Running cost: $21–$204/mo + model usage
The hybrid shape: a self-hosted shell owns the channels, the memory and the trust boundary, and a vendor's coding agent does the engineering as one of its hands. OpenClaw runs Claude Code CLI and the Codex app-server as native runtimes.
Hybrid. A self-hosted shell that runs a vendor's coding agent as one of its hands.
A Telegram message that becomes a branch, a reviewed diff and a pull request on your own server, with every commit approved by you until you say otherwise.
First-run setup: about 90 minutes.
What drives the cost: Hosting plus Claude Code's own plan or API usage.

Run this build
Start the build and it becomes a checklist: for each part, mark the one you already have, pick an alternative of a kind the slot takes, or compare the options side by side; for a plan, a channel or a policy, choose one of the options. Every part you confirm goes onto your stack, and the build is complete when every required part is filled.
