BeamAgent and MonkeyClaw: coding agents, native to the BEAM

beardedeagle's BeamAgent is a canonical BEAM SDK for agentic coding runtimes in Erlang and Elixir — one capability-oriented API over Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode and Copilot, with shared sessions, threads, MCP, hooks, telemetry and backend-native escape hatches, so callers choose the backend at runtime. Built on top of it, MonkeyClaw is a secure-by-default, OTP-native personal AI assistant its author frames as 'a cautionary tale proving that technical adherence to the letter of a request is the most effective way to subvert its intended restrictions.' Two pieces of the same move: subscription-backed coding agents wired into Elixir/OTP rather than bolted on beside it.
