The map covers six categories: managed hosting providers (Kilo, EveryClaw, ClawBox), LLM routing and orchestration middleware (OpenRouter, LiteLLM), security tooling spawned by the ClawHavoc incident, skill marketplaces like ClawHub with 3,200+ curated skills, and agent social/communication protocols. The post also introduces Manifest, an open-source OpenClaw platform that routes queries to cost-effective models locally in under 2ms. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
