# Onboarding Wizard (CLI)
Goal: interactive wizards for first-run onboarding **and** ongoing reconfiguration.
Uses `@clack/prompts` for arrow-key selection and step UX.
The onboarding wizard is the **recommended** way to set up Clawdis on any OS.
It configures a local Gateway or a remote Gateway connection, plus providers, skills,
and workspace defaults in one guided flow.
Scope: local gateway setup plus **remote gateway client config** (no remote-side installs).
Primary entrypoint:
## Entry points
```bash
clawdis onboard
```
First run:
- `clawdis onboard` (primary)
- `clawdis setup --wizard` (alias)
Followup reconfiguration:
Ongoing:
- `clawdis configure` (models/providers/skills/gateway/workspace)
- `clawdis doctor` (health + quick fixes)
- `clawdis update` (audit + modernize config defaults)
```bash
clawdis configure
```
## Non-interactive mode
## What the wizard does
`--non-interactive` + flags to skip prompts. `--json` outputs a machine summary.
**Local mode (default)** walks you through:
- Model/auth (Anthropic OAuth recommended, API key optional, Minimax M2.1 via LM Studio)
- Workspace location + bootstrap files
- Gateway settings (port/bind/auth/tailscale)
- Providers (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Signal)
- Daemon install (LaunchAgent / systemd user unit / Scheduled Task)
- Health check
- Skills (recommended)
## Preflight
**Remote mode** only configures the local client to connect to a Gateway elsewhere.
It does **not** install or change anything on the remote host.
- Runtime: Node >=22 (reuse `runtime-guard`).
- Detect existing files:
- config: `~/.clawdis/clawdis.json`
- creds: `~/.clawdis/credentials/`
- sessions: `~/.clawdis/sessions/`
- workspace: `~/clawd` (or configured)
- Detect available package managers: `npm`, `pnpm`, `bun`.
- Detect optional tools: `brew`, `uv`, `go`.
## Flow details (local)
If config exists:
- Prompt: **Keep / Modify / Reset**
1) **Existing config detection**
- If `~/.clawdis/clawdis.json` exists, choose **Keep / Modify / Reset**.
- Reset uses `trash` (never `rm`) and offers scopes:
- Config only
- Config + credentials + sessions
- Full reset (also removes workspace)
Reset uses `trash` (never `rm`).
2) **Model/Auth**
- **Anthropic OAuth (recommended)**: browser flow; paste the `code#state`.
- **API key**: stores the key for you.
- **Minimax M2.1 (LM Studio)**: config is autowritten for the LM Studio endpoint.
- **Skip**: no auth configured yet.
## Flow (interactive)
3) **Workspace**
- Default `~/clawd` (configurable).
- Seeds the workspace files needed for the agent bootstrap ritual.
1) **Mode**
- Local (full wizard)
- Remote (configure client connection only)
4) **Gateway**
- Port, bind, auth mode, tailscale exposure.
- Nonloopback binds require auth.
2) **Model/Auth (local only)**
- Anthropic OAuth (recommended)
- API key
- Minimax M2.1 (LM Studio; recommended local model)
- Skip
5) **Providers**
- WhatsApp: optional QR login.
- Telegram: bot token.
- Discord: bot token.
- Signal: optional `signal-cli` install + account config.
3) **Workspace + config**
- Default workspace: `~/clawd`
- Writes `agent.workspace` into `~/.clawdis/clawdis.json`
- Ensures sessions dir exists
4) **Gateway config**
- Port (default 18789)
- Bind: loopback | lan | tailnet | auto
- Auth: token | password | off
- Tailscale: off | serve | funnel
5) **Providers (optional)**
- WhatsApp: optional `clawdis login` QR flow
- Telegram: bot token (config or env)
- Discord: bot token (config or env)
- Signal: `signal-cli` detection + account config + install option
6) **Daemon install (local only)**
6) **Daemon install**
- macOS: LaunchAgent
- Linux: systemd user unit
- Windows: Scheduled Task
7) **Health**
- Start/restart daemon
- `clawdis health` summary
7) **Health check**
- Starts the Gateway (if needed) and runs `clawdis health`.
8) **Skills (recommended)**
- Read from `buildWorkspaceSkillStatus`
- Show eligible vs missing requirements
- Offer installs via preferred installer
- Allow skip
- Reads the available skills and checks requirements.
- Lets you choose a node manager: **npm / pnpm / bun**.
- Installs optional dependencies (some use Homebrew on macOS).
9) **Finish**
- Summary + next steps
- Reminder: iOS/Android/macOS node apps add canvas/camera/screen/system features.
- Summary + next steps, including iOS/Android/macOS apps for extra features.
## Remote mode (client config)
## Remote mode
- Optional Bonjour discovery (macOS: `dns-sd`, Linux: `avahi-browse`)
- Save `gateway.remote.url` (+ optional `gateway.remote.token`)
- Token optional; omit for no-auth gateways
- Provide SSH tunnel hint when the gateway is loopback-only
- No remote installs or daemon changes from this machine
Remote mode configures a local client to connect to a Gateway elsewhere.
## Config writes
Wizard writes:
- `~/.clawdis/clawdis.json`
- `agent.workspace`
- `agent.model` + `models.providers` (if Minimax selected)
- `skills.install.nodeManager` (npm | pnpm | bun)
- `skills.entries.<key>.env` / `.apiKey` (if set in skills step)
- `telegram.botToken`, `discord.token`, `signal.*` (if set in providers step)
- `wizard.lastRunAt`, `wizard.lastRunVersion`, `wizard.lastRunCommit`, `wizard.lastRunCommand`, `wizard.lastRunMode`
- `gateway.remote.url`, `gateway.remote.token` (remote mode)
WhatsApp login writes credentials to `~/.clawdis/credentials/creds.json`.
## Configure / Doctor / Update flows
`clawdis configure` offers a menu of sections:
- Model/auth
- Providers (incl Signal install)
- Gateway + daemon
- Workspace + bootstrap files
- Skills
- Health check (optional at end)
`clawdis doctor`:
- Gateway reachability
- Provider probes
- Skills status
- Quick fixes (start gateway, relink WhatsApp, prompt missing tokens)
`clawdis update`:
- Audit config vs defaults
- Suggest upgrades/changes
- Re-run key steps as needed
Each wizard run updates `wizard.*` metadata.
## Signal CLI install (wizard)
Wizard can install signal-cli from GitHub releases:
- Fetch latest release from `https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/releases/latest`
- Download platform asset (Linux native preferred)
- Extract under `~/.clawdis/tools/signal-cli/<version>/`
- Set `signal.cliPath` to the detected `signal-cli` binary
What youll set:
- Remote Gateway URL (`ws://...`)
- Optional token
Notes:
- signal-cli requires Java 21 for JVM builds.
- Native builds are available for some platforms; fallback to JVM build if native not found.
- Auto-install is not supported on Windows yet.
- No remote installs or daemon changes are performed.
- If the Gateway is loopbackonly, use SSH tunneling or a tailnet.
- Discovery hints:
- macOS: Bonjour (`dns-sd`)
- Linux: Avahi (`avahi-browse`)
## Minimax M2.1 (LM Studio) config snippet
## Noninteractive mode
```json5
{
agent: {
model: "Minimax",
allowedModels: [
"anthropic/claude-opus-4-5",
"lmstudio/minimax-m2.1-gs32"
],
modelAliases: {
Opus: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5",
Minimax: "lmstudio/minimax-m2.1-gs32"
}
},
models: {
mode: "merge",
providers: {
lmstudio: {
baseUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1",
apiKey: "lmstudio",
api: "openai-responses",
models: [
{
id: "minimax-m2.1-gs32",
name: "MiniMax M2.1 GS32",
reasoning: false,
input: ["text"],
cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
contextWindow: 196608,
maxTokens: 8192
}
]
}
}
}
}
Use `--non-interactive` to automate or script onboarding:
```bash
clawdis onboard --non-interactive \
--mode local \
--auth-choice apiKey \
--anthropic-api-key "$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
--gateway-port 18789 \
--gateway-bind loopback \
--skip-skills
```
## Skills install preferences
Add `--json` for a machinereadable summary.
Prompt for node manager:
- npm
- pnpm
- bun
## Signal setup (signal-cli)
Writes:
The wizard can install `signal-cli` from GitHub releases:
- Downloads the appropriate release asset.
- Stores it under `~/.clawdis/tools/signal-cli/<version>/`.
- Writes `signal.cliPath` to your config.
```json5
{
skills: {
install: {
nodeManager: "npm" // npm | pnpm | bun
}
}
}
```
Notes:
- JVM builds require **Java 21**.
- Native builds are used when available.
- Windows autoinstall is not supported yet (manual install required).
## Reset scope (decision required)
## What the wizard writes
Options:
- A) Config only (`~/.clawdis/clawdis.json`)
- B) Config + credentials + sessions
- C) Full reset: config + credentials + sessions + workspace
Typical fields in `~/.clawdis/clawdis.json`:
- `agent.workspace`
- `agent.model` / `models.providers` (if Minimax chosen)
- `gateway.*` (mode, bind, auth, tailscale)
- `telegram.botToken`, `discord.token`, `signal.*`
- `skills.install.nodeManager`
- `wizard.lastRunAt`
- `wizard.lastRunVersion`
- `wizard.lastRunCommit`
- `wizard.lastRunCommand`
- `wizard.lastRunMode`
Wizard should clearly list what will be removed and use `trash`.
WhatsApp credentials go to `~/.clawdis/credentials/`.
Sessions are stored under `~/.clawdis/sessions/`.
