Zuckerman – minimalist personal AI agent that self-edits its own code

SMRTR summary

Zuckerman is an ultra-minimal personal AI agent that uniquely rewrites its own code files in real-time to add new features and improve functionality without requiring restarts. Unlike complex agents like OpenClaw, Zuckerman starts with only essential components and evolves by self-editing its configuration, tools, and core logic while running, with agents sharing useful modifications through a collaborative network for collective improvement.
