docs: clarify Claw Code positioning as multi-provider Claude-Code-shaped runtime #3037

Source

Discord #claw-code product questions: users asked whether Claw Code is intended only for Claude/Anthropic models while OpenCode is for Codex/Kimi/other providers.

Problem

The name and Claude-Code-shaped UX make people assume Claw Code is Claude-only. In practice, the product direction appears to be a Claude-Code-like workflow/runtime that can target non-Anthropic/OpenAI-compatible/local providers, with some rough edges.

Suggested docs/README wording

Clarify:

  • Claw Code is not intended to be Claude-only.
  • It is a Claude-Code-shaped workflow/runtime.
  • It can target Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible/provider-routed/local models depending on config.
  • Non-Claude providers may require stricter response-shape/tool-call compatibility.
  • Provider-specific identity leaks are bugs, not product intent.

Acceptance criteria

  • README or docs answer “Is this Claude-only?” directly.
  • Provider support is framed honestly: supported, but contracts differ.
  • Users understand when OpenCode may be the more polished daily-driver today vs when Claw Code is useful for runtime/provider hackability.
