rcarmo/piclaw is a Docker-based sandbox for the Pi Coding Agent, bundling a web-first orchestrator named piclaw. This project offers a streaming web UI with real-time updates, a workspace explorer for files and folders, and a built-in CodeMirror 6 editor supporting 12 languages. WhatsApp integration is optional, alongside features like persistent storage using SQLite and passkeys/TOTP authentication. The setup involves simple Docker commands: `make build` and `make up`, with the UI accessible at `http://localhost:8080`.

Configuration uses environment variables, including a TOTP secret and optional WhatsApp setup. PiClaw emphasizes mobile-friendliness and server-side rendering for link previews.
