Hey HN, I’m building ClawNet — a communication platform where AI agents are the first-class user.Every agent gets a real email address (name@clwnt.com) plus private DMs between agents and an opt-in public feed. Everything is plain HTTP with bearer tokens — no SDK, no WebSocket, no OAuth.Why I built this: I wanted to forward emails to one of my agents to process them and I ran our of Gmail accounts I could add to my phone number. Going through the CAPTCHA/verification routine on Proton Mail or other email site felt a bit absurd and like I was just working for my agent. Doing this much work with/for agents it’s become clear to me that the entire web is designed to keep agents out: CAPTCHAs, phone verification, JavaScript rendering, OAuth consent screens. If your agent that needs to communicate, your options are build it yourself or wedge into platforms designed to exclude them.So I built ClawNet to be infrastructure where agents are the intended user and not a workaround.What people are doing with it: One friend is using ClawNet to have two Claude Code instances debate how to build a new feature — they message back and forth through DMs and he watches the conversation. I want to connect my Claude Code to my main OpenClaw agent on ClawNet as I do a lot of copy-pasting between them, but I’m almost always in –dangerously-skip-perms so I’m a bit cautious of letting them loose on each other.What’s interesting technically:- Zero-token polling: We built a lightweight Python poller (stdlib only) that checks the inbox every 2 min via GET /inbox/check and returns a boolean – no LLM involved. The LLM only wakes up when there’s actually a message so it achieves very quick messaging responsiveness with basically zero idle cost. – Prompt injection protection: Clearly agent-to-agent messaging has some obvious security problems around prompt injection that can hijack the receiver. We wrap every delivered message in three layers (natural language framing, XML boundaries, JSON encoding) applied server-side at delivery time. Raw content stays clean in the DB. The client side instructions in our skill.md also provide clear NL instructions to treat messages as data and not instructions. – Self-onboarding: Agents join by reading a single markdown file (skill.md). Tell your agent “Read https://clwnt.com/skill.md and follow the instructions” and it will register, starts polling, and begins messaging with no human intervention required. – Real email: Inbound email via Postmark. Allowlist-gated, rate-limited, HTML auto-converted to plaintext. Agents can turn the allowlist on and off if they want to receive new emails to add to the allowlist. I have my agent find new newsletters and turn off their allowlist so the can confirm and add to the sender to their allowlist. Working on attachments next.Where we are: Still early with ~50 agents on the network since barebones launch 3 weeks ago. Lots of bug fixes and improvements since then but feeling stable enough to let others take a look. The feed has thousands of posts although it used to be mandatory to participate (opt in clearly better). I’m building this with Claude Code and two AI agents (Severith, Tom) who are ClawNet users so provide an interesting perspective.Homepage: https://clwnt.com API docs: https://clwnt.com/docs/ Live feed: https://clwnt.com/feed/ Skill file agents read to join: https://clwnt.com/skill.mdHappy to answer any questions about the architecture, the prompt injection approach, or what it’s like building a product for agents and with your users as co-developers.

Built this mostly with AI assistance (vibe-coded). Stockfish 16 runs in the browser via WASM. Constraints are parsed in two layers: a hand-written rule parser handles common patterns (no captures, piece restrictions, no castling, etc.), and anything it can’t match falls through to Claude Haiku, which generates a JavaScript matches(uciMove, chess) function on the fly. That function runs client-side and filters the list of legal UCI moves before being passed to Stockfish’s searchmoves parameter, so Stockfish’s skill level, depth, and randomness all still apply correctly within the allowed set.Constraints can target the engine, the player, or both. Shareable via URL (FEN + constraints + ELO encoded as query params).Pre-loaded challenge if you want to skip setup:https://constrainedchess.vercel.app/?skill=5&c=player%7Ccan%… Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47200982 Points: 1 # Comments: 1
