# NanoClaw, OpenClaw

> Lightweight Python agent runners. Use authsome via the proxy or the library.

NanoClaw and OpenClaw are lightweight Python agent runners. They don't bundle credential management. Authsome fills that gap. The same patterns work for any Python-native agent runner.

For [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent), use the dedicated [Hermes Agent](/integrations/agents/hermes) page. Its primary integration is the agentskills.io skill install path, not the patterns below.

## Run under the proxy

```bash theme={null}
authsome login github
authsome login openai
authsome run -- python -m <your_runner>
```

The runner sees placeholder env vars. Outbound HTTPS to matched providers is authenticated at the proxy layer. This is the recommended path.

## Export when the proxy is not enough

If you need explicit env vars in the runner process:

```bash theme={null}
eval "$(authsome export github --format env)"
eval "$(authsome export openai --format env)"
python -m <your_runner>
```

See [Python library](/reference/python-library) for the daemon HTTP API.

## When to use which

| Use the proxy                                                    | Use export                                                            |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| You want a single layer that catches every outbound call.        | You need fine-grained control over which connection to use per agent. |
| You're using third-party clients you can't easily modify.        | The agent is yours and reads env vars directly.                       |
| You need transparent injection for shell tools the agent spawns. | You don't spawn shell tools.                                          |
