PROBLEM

Need Lightweight Self-Hosted Agent Control Without Feature Bloat

Existing agent control interfaces (Telegram bots, dashboards) often include unnecessary features that duplicate what bash or the LLM can already do, adding complexity and maintenance burden. Need a minimalist approach that only provides essential remote control.

Updated: 5/22/2026

Build a self-hosted Telegram bot (like OpenClaw) that provides only core control: session switching, task submission via cron/at, and direct bash execution. Use TypeScript/Bun for minimal binary size and fast startup. Intentionally remove any feature that bash or the LLM can handle better. Keep it Unix-philosophy simple.
