Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Module Organization

• Source code: src/ (CLI wiring in src/cli, commands in src/commands, web provider in src/provider-web.ts, infra in src/infra, media pipeline in src/media).
• Tests: colocated *.test.ts.
• Docs: docs/ (images, queue, Pi config). Built output lives in dist/.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

• Install deps: pnpm install
• Run CLI in dev: pnpm clawdis ... (tsx entry) or pnpm dev for src/index.ts.
• Type-check/build: pnpm build (tsc)
• Lint/format: pnpm lint (biome check), pnpm format (biome format)
• Tests: pnpm test (vitest); coverage: pnpm test:coverage

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

• Language: TypeScript (ESM). Prefer strict typing; avoid any.
• Formatting/linting via Biome; run pnpm lint before commits.
• Keep files concise; extract helpers instead of “V2” copies. Use existing patterns for CLI options and dependency injection via createDefaultDeps.
• Keep every file ≤ 500 LOC; refactor or split before exceeding and check frequently.

Testing Guidelines

• Framework: Vitest with V8 coverage thresholds (70% lines/branches/functions/statements).
• Naming: match source names with *.test.ts; e2e in *.e2e.test.ts.
• Run pnpm test (or pnpm test:coverage) before pushing when you touch logic.
• Pure test additions/fixes generally do not need a changelog entry unless they alter user-facing behavior or the user asks for one.

Commit & Pull Request Guidelines

• Create commits with scripts/committer "<msg>" <file...>; avoid manual git add/git commit so staging stays scoped.
• Follow concise, action-oriented commit messages (e.g., CLI: add verbose flag to send).
• Group related changes; avoid bundling unrelated refactors.
• PRs should summarize scope, note testing performed, and mention any user-facing changes or new flags.

Security & Configuration Tips

• Web provider stores creds at ~/.clawdis/credentials/; rerun clawdis login if logged out.
• Pi sessions live under ~/.clawdis/sessions/ by default; the base directory is not configurable.
• Never commit or publish real phone numbers, videos, or live configuration values. Use obviously fake placeholders in docs, tests, and examples.

Agent-Specific Notes

• Gateway currently runs only as the menubar app (launchctl shows application.com.steipete.clawdis.debug.*), there is no separate LaunchAgent/helper label installed. Restart via the Clawdis Mac app or scripts/restart-mac.sh; to verify/kill use launchctl print gui/$UID | grep clawdis rather than expecting com.steipete.clawdis. When debugging on macOS, start/stop the gateway via the app, not ad-hoc tmux sessions; kill any temporary tunnels before handoff.
• macOS logs: use ./scripts/clawlog.sh (aka vtlog) to query unified logs for subsystem com.steipete.clawdis; it supports follow/tail/category filters and expects passwordless sudo for /usr/bin/log.
• Also read the shared guardrails at ~/Projects/oracle/AGENTS.md and ~/Projects/agent-scripts/AGENTS.MD before making changes; align with any cross-repo rules noted there.
• SwiftUI state management (iOS/macOS): prefer the Observation framework (@Observable, @Bindable) over ObservableObject/@StateObject; don’t introduce new ObservableObject unless required for compatibility, and migrate existing usages when touching related code.
• Multi-agent safety: do not create/apply/drop git stash entries unless Peter explicitly asks (this includes git pull --rebase --autostash). Assume other agents may be working; keep unrelated WIP untouched and avoid cross-cutting state changes.
• Multi-agent safety: do not create/remove/modify git worktree checkouts (or edit .worktrees/*) unless Peter explicitly asks.
• Multi-agent safety: do not switch branches / check out a different branch unless Peter explicitly asks.
• When asked to open a “session” file, open the Pi session logs under ~/.clawdis/sessions/*.jsonl (newest unless a specific ID is given), not the default sessions.json.
• Menubar dimming + restart flow mirrors Trimmy: use scripts/restart-mac.sh (kills all Clawdis variants, runs swift build, packages, relaunches). Icon dimming depends on MenuBarExtraAccess wiring in AppMain; keep appearsDisabled updates intact when touching the status item.
• Never send streaming/partial replies to external messaging surfaces (WhatsApp, Telegram); only final replies should be delivered there. Streaming/tool events may still go to internal UIs/control channel.
• Voice wake forwarding tips:
  • Command template should stay clawdis-mac agent --message "${text}" --thinking low; VoiceWakeForwarder already shell-escapes ${text}. Don’t add extra quotes.
  • launchd PATH is minimal; ensure the app’s launch agent sets PATH to include /opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/steipete/Library/pnpm so pnpm/clawdis binaries resolve when invoked via clawdis-mac.
  • For manual clawdis send messages that include !, use the heredoc pattern noted below to avoid the Bash tool’s escaping.

Exclamation Mark Escaping Workaround

The Claude Code Bash tool escapes ! to \\! in command arguments. When using clawdis send with messages containing exclamation marks, use heredoc syntax:

# WRONG - will send "Hello\\!" with backslash
clawdis send --to "+1234" --message 'Hello!'

# CORRECT - use heredoc to avoid escaping
clawdis send --to "+1234" --message "$(cat <<'EOF'
Hello!
EOF
)"

This is a Claude Code quirk, not a clawdis bug.
