OpenClaw项目命名历史考据Warelay -> OpenClaw
Simon Willison 通过分析GitHub提交历史发现，自2025年11月首次提交以来，OpenClaw项目实际使用过超过40个不同名称。他利用自定义工具 first_line_history.py 提取了每个仓库初始提交的第一行信息，揭示了项目在早期阶段频繁更名的事实。这一现象暴露了开源社区中命名混乱的问题，也引发对项目身份一致性的思考。Willison 的研究方法展示了如何通过代码历史追溯软件演化轨迹。

In preparation for a lightning talk I'm giving at PyCon US this afternoon I decided to figure out how many names OpenClaw has actually had since that first commit back in November.
Thanks to this first_line_history.py tool (code here) the answer, according to the Git history of the OpenClaw README, is:
Warelay → CLAWDIS → CLAWDBOT → Clawdbot → Moltbot →🦞 OpenClaw
Or in detail (the output from the tool):
