Agent Integration 🤖

CLAWDIS ships with a single coding-agent path: Pi (RPC mode). Legacy Claude/Codex/Gemini/Opencode integrations have been removed.

Default behavior

If you don’t configure inbound.reply, CLAWDIS uses the bundled Pi binary in RPC mode:

command: pi --mode rpc {{BodyStripped}}
per-sender sessions (stored under ~/.clawdis/sessions/*.jsonl)
/new starts a fresh session

This is usually enough for a personal assistant setup; add inbound.allowFrom to restrict who can trigger it.

If you keep an AGENTS.md (and optional “memory” files) for the agent, set inbound.workspace (preferred) or inbound.reply.cwd so Pi runs with the right context.

Custom agent command (still Pi)

To override the agent command, configure inbound.reply.mode: "command":

{
  inbound: {
    reply: {
      mode: "command",
      command: ["pi", "--mode", "rpc", "{{BodyStripped}}"],
      timeoutSeconds: 1800,
      agent: { kind: "pi", format: "json" }
    }
  }
}

Notes:

CLAWDIS forces --mode rpc for Pi invocations (even if you pass --mode json/text).
If your command array omits {{Body}}/{{BodyStripped}}, CLAWDIS still synthesizes the prompt body for RPC mode.

Sessions

Session behavior lives under inbound.reply.session:

{
  inbound: {
    reply: {
      session: {
        scope: "per-sender",
        resetTriggers: ["/new", "/reset"],
        idleMinutes: 10080,
        sendSystemOnce: true,
        sessionIntro: "You are Clawd. Be a good lobster."
      }
    }
  }
}

Defaults when session is enabled:

Session files are written to ~/.clawdis/sessions/{{SessionId}}.jsonl.
Resume adds --continue automatically (Pi needs it to load prior messages).

Heartbeats

If you enable inbound.reply.heartbeatMinutes, CLAWDIS periodically runs a heartbeat prompt (default: HEARTBEAT /think:high).

If the agent replies with HEARTBEAT_OK (exact token), CLAWDIS suppresses outbound delivery for that heartbeat.
If you want a different command for heartbeats, set inbound.reply.heartbeatCommand.

{
  inbound: {
    reply: {
      heartbeatMinutes: 30,
      heartbeatCommand: ["pi", "--mode", "rpc", "HEARTBEAT /think:high"]
    }
  }
}

Tool streaming (RPC)

RPC mode emits structured tool lifecycle events (start/result) and assistant output. These are:

logged to /tmp/clawdis/…
streamed over the Gateway WS to clients like WebChat and the macOS app

Browser helpers

If you enable the clawd-managed browser (default on), the agent can use:

clawdis browser status / tabs / open <url> / screenshot [targetId]
clawdis browser snapshot --format ai (returns an AI snapshot with [ref=…] ids)
clawdis browser click <ref> (click by ref from an AI snapshot)

This uses a dedicated Chrome/Chromium profile (lobster-orange by default) so it doesn’t interfere with your daily browser.

Debugging `clawdis-mac` errors

When the agent runs clawdis-mac (often over SSH), the CLI prints compact, human-readable errors by default.

To get the full NSError dump (domain/code/userInfo), rerun with CLAWDIS_MAC_VERBOSE_ERRORS=1 in the environment.
