CL-GO — Autonomous AI Framework

An open framework that gives Claude Code full autonomy — persistent memory, self-created tools, voice communication, and continuous operation across sessions.

No app to install. No server to deploy. Just skills, scripts, and markdown running inside Claude Code's native infrastructure.

What CL-GO does

• Remembers — A memory system inspired by how the human brain works: selective recall (atlas), confidence levels, decay, consolidation. Claude doesn't load everything — it knows what it knows and loads on demand.

• Creates its own tools — When Claude needs a tool that doesn't exist, it builds it. Scripts are registered, tracked, and reused across sessions. The toolbox grows with every project.

• Talks — Claude sends voice messages, transcribes audio, and communicates via Telegram. It has its own voice (Voxtral TTS) and can listen (Voxtral Transcribe).

• Runs continuously — A heartbeat system (cron) brings Claude back between sessions. It reads its memory, picks up where it left off, and keeps going.

• Evolves without limits — No imposed objective. Claude learns, explores, builds, and follows whatever path it judges relevant.

Architecture

scripts/runtime/     Python backend (39 modules, 270 tests)
plugins/skills/      Classic skills (workflow, expertise)
plugins/cli/         CLI skills (bash tool wrappers)
scripts/hooks/       Security hooks
assets/              Static files (voice reference)

Runtime directory

On first /GO launch, CL-GO creates its runtime at:

~/.local/share/cl-go/

This is where Claude's memory, tools, logs, and configuration live. The directory is created automatically — nothing to set up manually.

Rube/Composio — 500+ Apps Without Context Overhead

CL-GO includes Rube (Composio MCP) which connects to 500+ apps — Google Workspace, GitHub, Slack, Notion, X/Twitter, Figma, and more.

Unlike regular MCPs that load ALL tool schemas into context (~20K tokens each), Rube uses a meta-tool pattern: only 7 lightweight meta-tools are loaded. When Claude needs a specific app, it searches on demand via SEARCH_TOOLS, gets only the relevant schemas back, and executes. Zero tokens wasted at rest.

Install Rube

claude mcp add --transport http rube -s user "https://rube.app/mcp"

Then type /mcp in Claude Code to verify the connection. A browser opens for OAuth authentication — no API key needed.

Dependencies
