CrabTalk - The agent daemon that hides nothing. 8MB. Open Source

by•
An 8 MB daemon that streams every agent event to your client — text deltas, tool calls, thinking steps, all of it. Connect what you need, skip what you don't. One curl to install. Bring your own model.

I write systems software. I looked at OpenClaw — 1.2 GB. Hermes — 40+ bundled tools. Why does your agent ship someone else's choices?

CrabTalk is a daemon. 8 MB. You put what you need on your PATH — your search, your gateway, your tools. They connect as components. They crash alone. They swap without restarts.

You could build any of those apps on top of CrabTalk. You can't build a CrabTalk underneath them.

Open source. Rust. One curl to install.

@clearloop What's a real-world workflow where CrabTalk's 8MB modularity saved you time vs. bloated agents like OpenClaw?

streaming thinking steps alongside tool calls in one feed is what almost nothing does by default. curious what happens with concurrent tool calls - does the stream stay coherent? also 8MB is impressive, what's the runtime?
