Every package DenchClaw depends on, ranked by repo health score.
DenchClaw is a local-first CRM and outreach automation platform that runs as an AI agent on your own machine rather than in a hosted multi-tenant cloud. Installed with a single `npx denchclaw bootstrap` command, it spins up a dedicated OpenClaw agent gateway under a `dench` profile and a Next.js web workspace on `localhost:3100`, giving you a chat-driven interface for managing contacts, companies, deals, and outreach, with every action stored in a local DuckDB database instead of a hosted SaaS table.
Rather than hard-coding a fixed CRM data model, DenchClaw teaches its underlying agent how to build and operate one. The `crm` skill and its six child skills (DuckDB operations, object builder, views & filters, documents, reports, actions) act as an operating manual the AI reads before touching data: they define naming conventions, a mandatory "triple alignment" between the database, filesystem, and object metadata, auto-linking rules for relation fields (for example, linking a new lead to an existing company), and a JSON-based reporting format so chat answers can render interactive charts. A companion `app-builder` skill lets the same agent generate self-contained mini web apps that run sandboxed inside the workspace with access to the CRM's own data.
Outreach and enrichment are handled through a small set of OpenClaw plugin extensions bundled in the repo: `apollo-enrichment` calls Apollo's people/company/people-search APIs through a managed Dench Cloud gateway, `exa-search` adds web search, and `dench-identity` bridges to Composio's app catalog, exposing 500+ third-party integrations (Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Google Calendar, Linear, Stripe, and more) as two generic "search" and "execute" tools the agent can call. A `dench-ai-gateway` extension routes model calls and AI credits through Dench's hosted model catalog when a Dench Cloud API key is configured.
The project is built by Dench.com (Y Combinator S2024) and is MIT licensed end to end. The open-source repo itself has no gated enterprise tier; the "Dench Cloud" services referenced in the code (enrichment, hosted models) are optional external add-ons that require their own API key.
