Edict
Edict runs on OpenClaw and lines agents up like an imperial court: three departments, six ministries, and a live board. The repo is cft0808/edict, mostly Python. A few months after create, GitHub had about sixteen thousand stars. Marketing often sets it next to CrewAI and AutoGen.
Why it is on this list
The board shows six ministry names. Open one and it often will not connect. Issue #251 says the ministries stay offline a lot; runs are very slow and status does not move. Around the same time, 当皇上 filed #55 and #94 saying the design was copied without credit; Edict closed those as non-technical. Create times sit about twenty-one hours apart, with 当皇上 first. The homepage field points at openclaw.ai. There is also open webhook safety work (#317, #318).
