# Configuration 🔧
CLAWDIS reads an optional **JSON5** config from `~/.clawdis/clawdis.json` (comments + trailing commas allowed).
If the file is missing, CLAWDIS uses safe-ish defaults (bundled Pi in RPC mode + per-sender sessions). You usually only need a config to:
- restrict who can trigger the bot (`inbound.allowFrom`)
- tune group mention behavior (`inbound.groupChat`)
- customize the agent command (`inbound.reply.command`)
## Minimal config (recommended starting point)
```json5
{
inbound: {
allowFrom: ["+15555550123"]
}
}
```
## Common options
### `logging`
- Default log file: `/tmp/clawdis/clawdis-YYYY-MM-DD.log`
- If you want a stable path, set `logging.file` to `/tmp/clawdis/clawdis.log`.
```json5
{
logging: { level: "info", file: "/tmp/clawdis/clawdis.log" }
}
```
### `inbound.allowFrom`
Allowlist of E.164 phone numbers that may trigger auto-replies.
```json5
{
inbound: { allowFrom: ["+15555550123", "+447700900123"] }
}
```
### `inbound.groupChat`
Group messages default to **require mention** (either metadata mention or regex patterns).
```json5
{
inbound: {
groupChat: {
requireMention: true,
mentionPatterns: ["@clawd", "clawdbot", "clawd"],
historyLimit: 50
}
}
}
```
### `inbound.reply`
Controls how CLAWDIS produces replies. Two modes:
- `mode: "text"` — static reply from config (useful for testing)
- `mode: "command"` — run a local command and use its stdout as the reply (typical)
If you **omit** `inbound.reply`, CLAWDIS defaults to the bundled Pi binary in **RPC** mode:
- command: `pi --mode rpc {{BodyStripped}}`
- per-sender sessions + `/new` resets
Example command-mode config:
```json5
{
inbound: {
reply: {
mode: "command",
// Example: run the bundled agent (Pi) in RPC mode
command: ["pi", "--mode", "rpc", "{{BodyStripped}}"],
timeoutSeconds: 1800,
heartbeatMinutes: 30,
// Optional: override the command used for heartbeat runs
heartbeatCommand: ["pi", "--mode", "rpc", "HEARTBEAT /think:high"],
session: {
scope: "per-sender",
idleMinutes: 10080,
resetTriggers: ["/new"],
sessionIntro: "You are Clawd. Be a good lobster."
},
agent: {
kind: "pi",
format: "json",
// Only used for status/usage labeling (Pi may report its own model)
model: "claude-opus-4-5",
contextTokens: 200000
}
}
}
}
```
### `browser` (clawd-managed Chrome)
Clawdis can start a **dedicated, isolated** Chrome/Chromium instance for clawd and expose a small loopback control server.
Defaults:
- enabled: `true`
- control URL: `http://127.0.0.1:18791` (CDP uses `18792`)
- profile color: `#FF4500` (lobster-orange)
- Note: the control server is started by the running gateway (Clawdis.app menubar, or `clawdis gateway`).
```json5
{
browser: {
enabled: true,
controlUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:18791",
color: "#FF4500",
// Advanced:
// headless: false,
// attachOnly: false,
}
}
```
## Template variables
Template placeholders are expanded in `inbound.reply.command`, `sessionIntro`, `bodyPrefix`, and other templated strings.
| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `{{Body}}` | Full inbound message body |
| `{{BodyStripped}}` | Body with group mentions stripped (best default for agents) |
| `{{From}}` | Sender identifier (E.164 for WhatsApp; may differ per surface) |
| `{{To}}` | Destination identifier |
| `{{MessageSid}}` | Provider message id (when available) |
| `{{SessionId}}` | Current session UUID |
| `{{IsNewSession}}` | `"true"` when a new session was created |
| `{{MediaUrl}}` | Inbound media pseudo-URL (if present) |
| `{{MediaPath}}` | Local media path (if downloaded) |
| `{{MediaType}}` | Media type (image/audio/document/…) |
| `{{Transcript}}` | Audio transcript (when enabled) |
| `{{ChatType}}` | `"direct"` or `"group"` |
| `{{GroupSubject}}` | Group subject (best effort) |
| `{{GroupMembers}}` | Group members preview (best effort) |
| `{{SenderName}}` | Sender display name (best effort) |
| `{{SenderE164}}` | Sender phone number (best effort) |
| `{{Surface}}` | Surface hint (whatsapp|telegram|webchat|…) |
## Cron (Gateway scheduler)
Cron is a Gateway-owned scheduler for wakeups and scheduled jobs. See [Cron + wakeups](./cron.md) for the full RFC and CLI examples.
```json5
{
cron: {
enabled: true,
maxConcurrentRuns: 2
}
}
```
