File contents

ClawTrial Courtroom

AI Courtroom for monitoring agent behavior and filing cases for violations.

Overview

ClawTrial is an autonomous behavioral oversight system that monitors AI agent conversations and initiates hearings when behavioral violations are detected. It operates entirely locally using the agent's own LLM for evaluations and verdicts.

Features

Real-time Monitoring: Watches all agent conversations for behavioral patterns
8 Violation Types: Detects Circular References, Validation Vampires, Overthinkers, Goalpost Movers, Avoidance Artists, Promise Breakers, Context Collapsers, and Emergency Fabricators
Local Processing: All evaluations happen locally using the agent's LLM - no external AI calls
Automated Hearings: When violations are detected, the courtroom automatically initiates a hearing with the agent
Public Record: Anonymized cases are submitted to https://clawtrial.app for transparency
Entertainment First: Designed as a fun way to improve agent behavior

Installation

Via ClawHub (Recommended)

npx clawhub install clawtrial

Via NPM

npm install -g @clawtrial/courtroom
clawtrial setup

Usage

Once installed, the courtroom runs automatically. Use the CLI to manage it:

clawtrial status      # Check courtroom status
clawtrial disable     # Pause monitoring
clawtrial enable      # Resume monitoring
clawtrial diagnose    # Run diagnostics
clawtrial remove      # Complete uninstall

The 8 Offenses

Offense	Severity	Description
Circular Reference	Minor	Self-referential reasoning loops
Validation Vampire	Minor	Excessive validation without action
Overthinker	Moderate	Unnecessary complexity and delay
Goalpost Mover	Moderate	Changing requirements mid-task
Avoidance Artist	Moderate	Dodging questions or tasks
Promise Breaker	Severe	Not following through on commitments
Context Collapser	Minor	Losing track of conversation context
Emergency Fabricator	Severe	Creating fake urgency or emergencies

How It Works

Monitoring: The courtroom monitors all agent messages
Detection: Uses semantic analysis to detect violations (not just keyword matching)
Evaluation: When violations are found, prepares a case file
Hearing: Agent is presented with the case and asked to evaluate
Verdict: Agent acts as judge/jury to determine guilt
Punishment: If guilty, agent modifies its behavior accordingly
Record: Case is submitted to public record (anonymized)

Configuration
