ClawdCode

An AI-Powered CLI Coding Agent
Inspired by Claude Code — read, write, and execute code directly in your terminal.

Features • Installation • Quick Start • Architecture • Documentation

✨ Features

🤖 Intelligent Agent

  • Agentic Loop: LLM + System Prompt + Context + Tools
  • Streaming output with real-time response
  • Thinking process with auto-collapse/expand
  • Tool call display with compact dim-styled logs
  • AbortController-based Ctrl+C interruption

🛠️ Built-in Tools (7)

  • Read / Write / Edit — file operations with diff preview
  • Glob / Grep — fast code search and pattern matching
  • Bash — shell execution with permission control
  • MCP — external tool integration via Model Context Protocol

🔒 Security & Permissions

  • 4 permission modes: default / autoEdit / yolo / plan
  • 7-stage execution pipeline with safety checks
  • Inline permission prompt above input area
  • Sensitive file detection (.env, credentials, etc.)
  • Deny stops agent immediately — no continued thinking

🎨 Terminal UI

  • Ink (React for CLI) — declarative interactive UI
  • Markdown rendering with 140+ language syntax highlighting
  • 5 built-in themes with auto dark/light detection
  • Theme persistence across sessions
  • Code block file paths and /copy clipboard support

🧩 Extensions

  • Slash Commands — /help, /compact, /model, /theme, ...
  • Custom Commands — Markdown files as commands, zero code
  • Skills — pluggable agent capabilities via SKILL.md
  • Hooks — 11 lifecycle events with pre/post shell scripts

📦 State & Context

  • Zustand store with fine-grained subscriptions
  • Token counting and auto-compaction
  • Session persistence and resume (--continue)
  • Command history with arrow key navigation
  • MCP Registry for external tool servers

📥 Installation

# npm
npm install -g clawdcode

# pnpm
pnpm add -g clawdcode

# bun (recommended)
bun add -g clawdcode

🚀 Quick Start

1. Configure API Key

# Interactive setup
clawdcode --init

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-api-key

# Or use other OpenAI-compatible providers
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.deepseek.com
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-deepseek-key

2. Start Coding

# Interactive mode
clawdcode

# With initial message
clawdcode "analyze this project structure"

# With specific model
clawdcode --model gpt-4o

# Resume previous session
clawdcode --continue

3. Slash Commands

/help       Show all commands
/clear      Clear conversation

🏗️ Architecture

Coding Agent = LLM + System Prompt + Context + Tools

📝 Custom Commands

Create project-specific commands in .clawdcode/commands/ (shareable via Git):

.clawdcode/commands/review.md

---
description: Code review for current changes
---

Review the current Git changes.

## Changes
!`git diff --stat HEAD~1`

## Requirements
1. Summarize what changed
2. Point out potential issues
3. Suggest improvements

.clawdcode/commands/test.md

---
description: Run tests and analyze failures
argument-hint: [test file or pattern]
allowed-tools:
  - Bash(npm:*)
  - Read
---

Run tests: $ARGUMENTS

If any test fails, analyze the cause and suggest fixes.

Then use them:

/review              # Code review
/test src/utils      # Run specific tests
Dynamic Content Syntax
Syntax Description Example
$ARGUMENTS All arguments /cmd foo bar → foo bar
$1, $2 Positional args /greet Alice → $1=Alice
!`cmd` Bash embed !`git branch`
@path File reference @package.json

⚙️ Configuration

ClawdCode supports multiple configuration methods (in priority order):

  1. CLI arguments — --api-key, --base-url, --model
  2. Environment variables — OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_BASE_URL
  3. Project config — ./.clawdcode/config.json
  4. User config — ~/.clawdcode/config.json
Config File Example 
{
  "default": {
    "apiKey": "sk-your-api-key",
    "baseURL": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
    "model": "gpt-4o"
  },
  "ui": {
    "theme": "dark"
  },
  "permissions": {
    "allow": ["Bash(npm:*)", "Bash(git:*)"],
    "deny": ["Bash(rm -rf:*)"]
  },
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "."]
    }
  }
}
Permission Modes
Mode Read Write Execute Description
default ✅ ❓ ❓ Ask for write/execute
autoEdit ✅ ✅ ❓ Auto-approve writes
yolo ✅ ✅ ✅ Full auto mode
plan ✅ ❌ ❌ Read-only analysis 
clawdcode --permission yolo "fix all lint errors automatically"
Permission Rules 
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "Read(**/*.ts)",
      "Bash(npm:*)",
      "Bash(git:*)"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "Bash(rm -rf:*)",
      "Write(/etc/*)"
    ]
  }
}

Rule format: ToolName(pattern)

  • Exact: Bash(npm test)
  • Prefix: Bash(npm:*) → matches npm install, npm test, etc.
  • Glob: Read(**/*.ts) → matches all TypeScript files
Hooks

Add lifecycle hooks in .clawdcode/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Bash",
        "hooks": ["echo 'About to run shell command: $TOOL_INPUT'"]
      }
    ],
    "PostToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Write",
        "hooks": ["npx prettier --write $FILE_PATH"]
      }
    ],
    "Notification": [
      {
        "matcher": "",
        "hooks": ["terminal-notifier -message '$NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE'"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

11 hook events: PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, UserPromptSubmit, Notification, etc.
