NemoClaw Ecosystem: Stack, Placement, and When to Use NemoClaw or OpenShell
References
- Load references/ecosystem.md when users ask about the relationship between OpenClaw, OpenShell, and NemoClaw, or when to use NemoClaw versus OpenShell. Explains how OpenClaw, OpenShell, and NemoClaw form the ecosystem, NemoClaw's position in the stack, what NemoClaw adds beyond the community sandbox, and when to prefer NemoClaw versus integrating OpenShell and OpenClaw directly.
- Load references/how-it-works.md for sandbox lifecycle and architecture mechanics; not for product definition (Overview) or multi-project placement (Ecosystem). Describes how NemoClaw works internally: CLI, plugin, blueprint runner, OpenShell orchestration, inference routing, and protection layers.
- Load references/overview.md when users ask what NemoClaw is or what the project provides. For ecosystem placement or OpenShell-only paths, use the Ecosystem page; for internal mechanics, use How It Works. Explains what NemoClaw covers: onboarding, lifecycle management, and OpenClaw operations within OpenShell containers, plus capabilities and why it exists.
- Load references/release-notes.md when users ask about recent changes, the release cadence, or where to track versioned assets on GitHub. Includes the NemoClaw release notes.
