Claw Code

ultraworkers/claw-code · Usage · Rust workspace · Parity · Roadmap · UltraWorkers Discord

Claw Code is the public Rust implementation of the claw CLI agent harness. The canonical implementation lives in rust/, and the current source of truth for this repository is ultraworkers/claw-code.

[!IMPORTANT] Start with USAGE.md for build, auth, CLI, session, and parity-harness workflows. Make claw doctor your first health check after building, use rust/README.md for crate-level details, read PARITY.md for the current Rust-port checkpoint, and see docs/container.md for the container-first workflow.

ACP / Zed status: claw-code does not ship an ACP/Zed daemon entrypoint yet. Run claw acp (or claw --acp) for the current status instead of guessing from source layout; claw acp serve is currently a discoverability alias only, and real ACP support remains tracked separately in ROADMAP.md.

Current repository shape

• rust/ — canonical Rust workspace and the claw CLI binary
• USAGE.md — task-oriented usage guide for the current product surface
• PARITY.md — Rust-port parity status and migration notes
• ROADMAP.md — active roadmap and cleanup backlog
• PHILOSOPHY.md — project intent and system-design framing
• src/ + tests/ — companion Python/reference workspace and audit helpers; not the primary runtime surface

Quick start

[!NOTE] [!WARNING] cargo install claw-code installs the wrong thing. The claw-code crate on crates.io is a deprecated stub that places claw-code-deprecated.exe — not claw. Running it only prints "claw-code has been renamed to agent-code". Do not use cargo install claw-code. Either build from source (this repo) or install the upstream binary:

cargo install agent-code   # upstream binary — installs 'agent.exe' (Windows) / 'agent' (Unix), NOT 'agent-code'

This repo (ultraworkers/claw-code) is build-from-source only — follow the steps below.

# 1. Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
cd claw-code/rust
cargo build --workspace

# 2. Set your API key (Anthropic API key — not a Claude subscription)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

# 3. Verify everything is wired correctly
./target/debug/claw doctor

# 4. Run a prompt
./target/debug/claw prompt "say hello"

[!NOTE] Windows (PowerShell): the binary is claw.exe, not claw. Use .\target\debug\claw.exe or run cargo run -- prompt "say hello" to skip the path lookup.

Windows setup

PowerShell is a supported Windows path. Use whichever shell works for you. The common onboarding issues on Windows are:

1. Install Rust first — download from https://rustup.rs/ and run the installer. Close and reopen your terminal when it finishes.
2. Verify Rust is on PATH:

   cargo --version
   

   If this fails, reopen your terminal or run the PATH setup from the Rust installer output, then retry.
3. Clone and build (works in PowerShell, Git Bash, or WSL):

   git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
   cd claw-code/rust
   cargo build --workspace
   

4. Run (PowerShell — note .exe and backslash):

   $env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "sk-ant-..."
   .\target\debug\claw.exe prompt "say hello"
   

Git Bash / WSL are optional alternatives, not requirements. If you prefer bash-style paths (/c/Users/you/... instead of C:\Users\you\...), Git Bash (ships with Git for Windows) works well. In Git Bash, the MINGW64 prompt is expected and normal — not a broken install.

[!NOTE] Auth: claw requires an API key (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.) — Claude subscription login is not a supported auth path.

Run the workspace test suite:

cd rust
cargo test --workspace
