What Claudeclaw is
Claudeclaw is a plugin published in the moazbuilds/claudeclaw repository on GitHub, which has about 1.3k stars. The repository describes itself as: “A lightweight, open-source OpenClaw version built into your Claude Code.”
A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.
Installing Claudeclaw adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.
How to install Claudeclaw
Claude Code
- Add the repository as a plugin marketplace: claude plugin marketplace add moazbuilds/claudeclaw
- Install the plugin: claude plugin install claudeclaw@<marketplace-name>, using the marketplace name from the repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
- Restart the session if the new skills or commands don't appear straight away.
Claude Cowork
- Open Customize → Plugins and choose Add marketplace.
- Enter moazbuilds/claudeclaw (the owner/repo shorthand works for GitHub).
- Find Claudeclaw in the list, click Install, then connect any connectors it needs from its Connectors tab.
New to extending Cowork? Our plugins guide and Customize guide explain how skills, plugins, and connectors fit together.

A lightweight, open-source OpenClaw version built into your Claude Code.
ClaudeClaw turns your Claude Code into a personal assistant that never sleeps. It runs as a background daemon, executing tasks on a schedule, responding to messages on Telegram, Discord, and Slack, transcribing voice commands, and integrating with any service you need.
> Note: Please don't use ClaudeClaw for hacking any bank system or doing any illegal activities. Thank you.
Why ClaudeClaw?
Getting Started in 5 Minutes
claude plugin marketplace add moazbuilds/claudeclaw
claude plugin install claudeclawThen open a Claude Code session and run:
/claudeclaw:startThe setup wizard walks you through model, heartbeat, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and security, then your daemon is live with a web dashboard.
Contributor Note: Plugin Version Metadata
If you change shipped plugin files under src/, commands/, prompts/, or .claude-plugin/, the plugin metadata version may also need to be bumped so Claude Code and marketplace consumers detect the update correctly.
Helpers:
bun run bump:plugin-version
bun run bump:marketplace-versionDocs-only and other non-shipped changes do not require these bumps.
Upgrading
v1.0.26 — Allowlist behavior change (Telegram & Discord)
Prior to this release, an empty allowedUserIds list meant allow everyone. That was a potential security vulnerability; any Telegram or Discord user could drive the daemon.
New behavior: an empty list means block everyone. The daemon will refuse to start if a bot token is configured without at least one allowed user ID.
Migration: add your user ID(s) to settings.json before upgrading:
"telegram": { "allowedUserIds": [123456789] },
"discord": { "allowedUserIds": ["987654321012345678"] }Run claudeclaw config for guided setup if you're unsure of your user ID.
v1.1.0 — Web UI bearer token gate
All /api/* routes (except /api/health) now require an Authorization: Bearer header. The token is auto-generated on first start and written to .claude/claudeclaw/web.token. The daemon also prints the full URL with the token embedded when the web UI starts.
Migration: update any scripts that call /api/state or other API routes to pass the token:
Authorization: Bearer <contents of .claude/claudeclaw/web.token>Existing /api/inject users who configured settings.apiToken are unaffected; that fallback still works.
v1.1.0 — Discord text-attachment truncation limit reduced
Text attachments sent to the Discord bot are now truncated at 2,048 bytes (previously 51,200). Payloads over that limit have …[truncated] appended silently; there is no config knob to restore the old limit.
Migration: if you rely on passing large text files through Discord attachments, switch to gists or another file-sharing mechanism and paste the URL instead.

Features
Automation
- Heartbeat: Periodic check-ins with configurable intervals, quiet hours, and editable prompts.
- Cron Jobs: Timezone-aware schedules for repeating or one-time tasks with reliable execution.
Communication
- Telegram: Text, image, and voice support.
- Discord: DMs, server mentions/replies, slash commands, voice messages, and image attachments.
- Slack: Socket Mode bot — DMs, channel mentions, threads, voice messages, and file attachments. Configure SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and SLACK_APP_TOKEN in your environment or settings.json.
- Time Awareness: Message time prefixes help the agent understand delays and daily patterns.
Multi-Session Threads (Discord)
- Independent Thread Sessions: Each Discord thread gets its own Claude CLI session, fully isolated from the main channel.
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
