🧠 The Core Principles of a Lobster
The LLM isn't the brain — it's the IQ.
Many people think ChatGPT is all there is to AI. Wrong. ChatGPT is just the "intelligence." A person with high IQ alone can't get work done. You also need:
🧠 LLM = IQ
Determines how complex a task it can handle. Claude, GPT, Gemini are all "IQ" — OpenClaw lets you swap between them anytime.
💾 Memory = Hippocampus
MEMORY.md is the lobster's long-term memory. Survives restarts. Gets to know you better over time.
⚡ Skill = Muscle Memory
Every mistake gets distilled into a Skill doc. Humans take a week to learn a skill; agents share it in one second.
⏰ Cron = Biological Clock
Scheduled tasks run automatically. You sleep at 3 AM; it runs server health checks at 3 AM.
These four "organs" combined make a complete, continuously running lobster.
