Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate input
  2. Check if already installed
  3. Clone the extension
  4. Read manifest and install dependencies
  5. Compile the extension
  6. Run post-install hook
  7. Rebuild core
  8. Restart service
  9. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1395af4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • npm
    • npx
    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Install Extension loads about 490 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 108 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~490

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Install Extension

Install a ClaudeClaw extension from GitHub.

Usage

/install slack
/install triage

Flow

1. Validate input

The argument is the extension short name (e.g., slack, triage). The full repo name is claudeclaw-<name>.

bash
EXTENSION_NAME="${1}"
REPO="https://github.com/sbusso/claudeclaw-${EXTENSION_NAME}.git"
EXT_DIR="extensions/claudeclaw-${EXTENSION_NAME}"
2. Check if already installed
bash
[ -d "$EXT_DIR" ] && echo "Extension claudeclaw-${EXTENSION_NAME} is already installed." && exit 0

If already installed, ask if the user wants to update instead (git pull + rebuild).

3. Clone the extension
bash
mkdir -p extensions
git clone "$REPO" "$EXT_DIR"
4. Read manifest and install dependencies
bash
cat "$EXT_DIR/manifest.json"

If manifest.json has a dependencies field, install them at the root:

bash
cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && npm install <each dependency with version>
5. Compile the extension
bash
cd "$EXT_DIR" && npx tsc
6. Run post-install hook

If manifest.json has hooks.postInstall:

bash
chmod +x "$EXT_DIR/hooks/install.sh"
bash "$EXT_DIR/hooks/install.sh" "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"

This copies skills, agents, and agent skills into the ClaudeClaw root.

7. Rebuild core
bash
npm run build
8. Restart service

Detect OS and restart:

macOS:

bash
SERVICE_NAME=$(launchctl list | grep claudeclaw | awk '{print $3}')
[ -n "$SERVICE_NAME" ] && launchctl kickstart -k "gui/$(id -u)/$SERVICE_NAME"

Linux:

bash
systemctl --user restart claudeclaw
9. Verify

Print confirmation:

Extension claudeclaw-<name> installed successfully.
- Skills: <list from manifest>
- Type: <channel|extension>
- Restart: service restarted
