What is OpenClacky?
OpenClacky is an open-source AI workbench that runs AI Agents locally on your machine, using Skills (capability packages) to complete professional tasks.
Unlike web-based chat tools, OpenClacky runs on your own computer β it can read and write files, run commands, and control browsers to actually get work done for you.
Core Features
π¦ Skills
Skills are the heart of OpenClacky. Each Skill is an expert-designed AI workflow β no prompt engineering needed, just trigger and go:
/seo-audit https://example.com # SEO diagnosis
/commit # Auto-generate Git commit messages
/translate # Professional translation
20+ built-in Skills come pre-installed. Install more from the marketplace, or create your own.
π° Token Optimization
In long conversation scenarios, smart compression + long-term memory significantly reduce token usage:
- Smart compression: Auto-compress conversation history, keep only key context
- Long-term memory: Remember your info across sessions, no redundant background
- Prompt Caching: Reuse identical content from cache
Multi-Provider failover keeps things running even during peak hours.
π Flexible Provider Support
Connect to multiple AI providers β Anthropic Claude, Kimi, Minimax, GLM, MiMo, and more. Automatic failover keeps things running even if one provider has an outage.
π Fully Open Source
MIT license, fully transparent code, no cloud lock-in: github.com/clacky-ai/openclacky
