Brief

EdgeClaw is being promoted as an open-source, free implementation of Claude Code-like capabilities. The cited update says version 2.2 shipped three new features—efficient skill calling, compressed expandable context handling, and a Buddy pet system—and asserts that the project has now recreated the core Claude Code feature set while continuing active development.

Claude Code just got open sourced through the back door.

EdgeClaw ported the features, made them free, and threw in a companion pet system on top just because they could.

Keep your eyes on this project.

🚀 [OpenClaw x Claude Code DAY 3 - Almost Done!] 🚀
Three more CC features—including the highly requested Buddy—are now live in EdgeClaw 2.2! 🦞

Try it now: github.com/OpenBMB/EdgeClaw
Here is what we shipped today: 👇

⚡️ ClawXskills: Progressive, high-efficiency skill calling. The loading phase now consumes just 15% of the original tokens!
🧠 ClawXcontext: Hierarchical context compression with on-demand expansion. Say goodbye to context bloat and lost information!
🐾 ClawXBuddy: Draw a random "blind box" to get your own unique companion pet! (Warning: No abandoning allowed! 🙅♂️❤️)

The reconstruction of CC features is complete, but EdgeClaw’s evolution has just begun. We will keep pushing boundaries! 🌊🚀
