I'm the author. phpClaw is an MIT agent runtime for PHP: a ReAct tool loop, memory, input guards, and an MCP server, with no framework dependencies in core (PHP 8.1+). There are adapters for Laravel, Symfony, Drupal, and others. Happy to answer questions.

I've since switched to Go for most of my development, but I have a decades old fondness for PHP and seeing what people can get it to do. PHP is dead! Long live PHP!

This is pretty cool, thanks for sharing!

I will say I'm a bit sceptical to the general quality and probably sloppiness of this based on the 300k loc initial commit wich sets off some warning signs for me.
