Your AI workforce, orchestrated. Deploy, manage, and scale AI agents on Kubernetes -- from a single pane of glass.
DeskClaw is a visual orchestration platform for AI employees. It organizes multiple AI Agents into collaborative teams through Cyber Workspaces, equips them with a Gene capability system, and enables one-click deployment, real-time monitoring, and elastic scaling on K8s clusters.
- Cyber Workspace -- Hexagonal topology workspace where AI employees auto-collaborate, share a blackboard, and publish tasks
- Gene System -- Modular capability marketplace for hot-loading skills onto Agents, with support for private enterprise genes
- One-Click Deploy -- End-to-end visual deployment pipeline with SSE real-time progress streaming
- Multi-Cluster Management -- Cross-cluster instance orchestration, health checks, and elastic scaling
- Feishu SSO -- Enterprise-grade authentication with automatic org structure sync
Dual-edition architecture: Community Edition / Enterprise Edition.

|---|---|---|
| License | Apache 2.0 | Commercial |
| Features | Instance deploy, cluster management, log monitoring, gene marketplace | All of CE + multi-org, billing, advanced audit |
| Code | This repository | Private ee/ directory |
Runtime auto-detection via FeatureGate -- if ee/ exists it runs as EE, otherwise CE. Feature registry defined in features.yaml.
Technical implementation: Backend Factory abstraction + Hook event bus; Frontend Stub + Vite Alias Override.
