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.
- 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
> [!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:
>
bash
> cargo install agent-code # upstream binary — installs 'agent.exe' (Windows) / 'agent' (Unix), NOT 'agent-code'
> ultraworkers/claw-code) is build-from-source only — follow the steps below.bash
1. Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
cd claw-code/rust
cargo build --workspace2. 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 doctor4. 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.
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
2. Verify Rust is on PATH:
powershell
cargo --version
powershell
git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
cd claw-code/rust
cargo build --workspace
.exe and backslash):powershell
$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:
bash
cd rust
cargo test --workspace
- USAGE.md — quick commands, auth, sessions, config, parity harness
- rust/README.md — crate map, CLI surface, features, workspace layout
- PARITY.md — parity status for the Rust port
- rust/MOCK_PARITY_HARNESS.md — deterministic mock-service harness details
- ROADMAP.md — active roadmap and open cleanup work
- PHILOSOPHY.md — why the project exists and how it is operated
