# TutorClaw - Personal AI Assistant Builder Kit

TutorClaw is a private local-first AI teaching assistant kit built on OpenClaw, designed for controlled setup and testing on your own computer.

> **Production Safety**: This kit uses port **5070** for its local helper/API layer. Port 5000 is reserved for the production Boardroom app.

## Current Direction

This project is currently being developed and tested as a **local-first kit** on the builder's own computer.

- **Primary development workflow**: local machine + PyCharm
- **Provider direction**: Google / Gemini
- **Current preferred model**: `google/gemini-2.5-flash-lite`
- **Customer installs**: must use the customer's own provider keys
- **Development test keys are never shipped with the kit**
- **Install safety**: the kit must not disturb an existing Claw/OpenClaw assistant

## Key Policy

This kit does **not** include provider API keys.

Every person installing the kit must provide their own:

- `GEMINI_API_KEY`
- `GOOGLE_API_KEY`
- any optional Google credential files their setup requires

Never commit real keys to git, and never distribute development keys in example files, screenshots, logs, backups, or packaged releases.

## Existing Claw/OpenClaw Safety

Builder Kit is designed to avoid interfering with any Claw/OpenClaw setup the user already has.

It must not assume ownership of:

- an existing `~/.openclaw` folder
- an existing assistant workspace
- existing gateway tokens
- existing gateway ports
- any separate assistant already in use, such as Butch

Builder Kit should use its own isolated shared home:
