OnionClaw: OnionClaw is an OpenClaw skill and standalone tool that enables AI agents to access the Tor network and .onion hidden services. It provides seven commands for dark web OSINT, including search, fetch, and analysis. The tool runs as a drop-in skill for OpenClaw or standalone from the terminal.; semble: Semble is a high-performance code search library designed for AI agents, providing instant access to precise code snippets. It offers significantly faster indexing and querying compared to transformer models, achieving 99% of their retrieval quality while running entirely on CPU without external dependencies.
