Clawd Code Skill

Clawd Code Skill

Control Clawd Code via MCP (Model Context Protocol). This skill unleashes the full power of Clawd Code for solanaos agents, including persistent sessions, agent teams, and advanced tool control.

⚡ Quick Start

# Start a persistent Clawd session for your project
clawd-code-skill session-start myproject -d ~/project \
  --permission-mode acceptEdits \
  --allowed-tools "Bash,Read,Edit,Write,Glob,Grep"

# Send a plan (Clawd will execute precisely)
clawd-code-skill session-send myproject --stream '<精确的执行计划>'

# Send with high effort (ultrathink) for complex reasoning
clawd-code-skill session-send myproject --stream --ultrathink 'Refactor the auth module'

# Enter plan mode — Clawd creates a plan first, then executes
clawd-code-skill session-send myproject --stream --plan 'Implement rate limiting'

# Check progress
clawd-code-skill session-status myproject

# Compact session when context gets large
clawd-code-skill session-compact myproject

# Switch model mid-session
clawd-code-skill session-model myproject opus

🎯 When to Use This Skill

Use Persistent Sessions When:

• ✅ Multi-step tasks requiring multiple tool calls
• ✅ Iterative development (write code → test → fix → repeat)
• ✅ Long conversations needing full context
• ✅ Agent needs to work autonomously
• ✅ You want streaming real-time feedback

Use Direct MCP Tools When:

• ✅ Single command execution
• ✅ Quick file read/write
• ✅ One-off searches
• ✅ No context needed between operations

🤝 Agent Team Features

Deploy multiple Clawd agents working together on complex tasks.

Basic Agent Team

# Define a team of agents
clawd-code-skill session-start team-project -d ~/project \
  --agents '{
    "architect": {
      "description": "Designs system architecture",
      "prompt": "You are a senior software architect. Design scalable, maintainable systems."
    },
    "developer": {
      "description": "Implements features",
      "prompt": "You are a full-stack developer. Write clean, tested code."
    },
    "reviewer": {
      "description": "Reviews code quality",
      "prompt": "You are a code reviewer. Check for bugs, style issues, and improvements."
    }
  }' \
  --agent architect

# Switch between agents mid-conversation
clawd-code-skill session-send team-project "Design the authentication system"
# (architect responds)

clawd-code-skill session-send team-project "@developer implement the design"
# (developer agent takes over)

clawd-code-skill session-send team-project "@reviewer review the implementation"
# (reviewer agent takes over)

Pre-configured Team Templates

# Code review team
clawd-code-skill session-start review -d ~/project \
  --agents '{
    "security": {"prompt": "Focus on security vulnerabilities"},

Multi-Model Support (Proxy)

Use --base-url to route requests through a proxy, enabling other models (Gemini, GPT) to power Clawd Code:

# Use Gemini via clawd-code-proxy
clawd-code-skill session-start gemini-task -d ~/project \
  --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8082 \
  --model clawd-3-5-sonnet-20241022  # Proxy will map to Gemini

# Use GPT via proxy
clawd-code-skill session-start gpt-task -d ~/project \
  --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8082 \
  --model clawd-3-haiku-20240307  # Proxy will map to GPT

Note: Requires clawd-code-proxy running on port 8082 with proper API keys configured.

# Start the proxy
cd ~/clawd/clawd-code-proxy && source .venv/bin/activate
uvicorn server:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8082

🎓 Best Practices

For SolanaOS Agents

1. Always use persistent sessions for multi-step tasks

   # ❌ Bad: Multiple disconnect/reconnect cycles
   clawd-code-skill bash "step1"
   clawd-code-skill bash "step2"
   
   # ✅ Good: Single persistent session
   clawd-code-skill session-start task -d ~/project
   clawd-code-skill session-send task "Do step1 then step2"
   

2. Use --stream for long-running tasks

   clawd-code-skill session-send task "Run full test suite" --stream
   

3. Set budget limits for safety

   --max-budget 2.00  # Stop after $2 of API usage
   

4. Use plan mode for critical changes

   --permission-mode plan  # Preview before applying
   

5. Fork before experiments

   clawd-code-skill session-fork main experimental
   clawd-code-skill session-send experimental "Try risky refactor"
   

Error Recovery

# If session fails:
clawd-code-skill session-status myproject  # Check what happened
clawd-code-skill session-history myproject -n 20  # See recent events
clawd-code-skill session-restart myproject  # Restart from last good state

# If you need to start over:
clawd-code-skill session-stop myproject
clawd-code-skill session-start myproject -d ~/project --resume <old-session-id>

🔗 Integration with SolanaOS

When solanaos needs to perform complex coding tasks:

# From within solanaos agent context:
solanaos skills run clawd-code-skill -- session-start task -d ~/project
solanaos skills run clawd-code-skill -- session-send task "Implement feature X" --stream
solanaos skills run clawd-code-skill -- session-status task

Or use the skill programmatically via backend-api HTTP API (see TOOLS.md section 3).
