What it does

Clawhip is an agent skill from Yeachan-Heo/clawhip. Attach/install/use clawhip as a daemon-first notification gateway runtime for OpenClaw / Clawdbot

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 133 other files, including scripts and assets (for example `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, `.github/workflows/release.yml` and `AGENTS.md`).

It works with Discord and tmux. The repository describes itself as: claw + whip: Event-to-channel notification router — bypasses gateway sessions to avoid context pollution. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/clawhip”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. clone repo
  2. run ./install.sh
  3. read this SKILL.md
  4. attach skill
  5. scaffold ~/.clawhip/config.toml
  6. start daemon
  7. run live verification presets

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 50951b0. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • discord.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

Clawhip loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 324 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Intent

Use this repo as:

  • executable/runtime repo
  • daemon process for Discord notification routing
  • attachable skill surface for OpenClaw / Clawdbot

Prerequisites

⭐ If you want to support clawhip, star this repository. The interactive repo-local installer and clawhip install can offer an optional post-install GitHub star prompt via authenticated gh api access when gh is installed and authenticated. Skip it with --skip-star-prompt or CLAWHIP_SKIP_STAR_PROMPT=1.

bash
gh api --method PUT /user/starred/Yeachan-Heo/clawhip --silent

Primary install flow

Preferred operator instruction:

text
@openclaw install https://github.com/Yeachan-Heo/clawhip

Expected automation flow:

  1. clone repo
  2. run ./install.sh
  3. read this SKILL.md
  4. attach skill
  5. scaffold ~/.clawhip/config.toml
  6. start daemon
  7. run live verification presets

Runtime surface

Default daemon URL:

text
http://127.0.0.1:25294

Core commands:

bash
clawhip
clawhip start
clawhip status
clawhip config
clawhip send --channel <id> --message "..."
clawhip github issue-opened ...
clawhip github pr-status-changed ...
clawhip git commit ...
clawhip tmux keyword ...
clawhip tmux stale ...
clawhip tmux new -s <session> --channel <id> --keywords error,complete --shell /bin/zsh -- command
clawhip tmux watch -s <existing-session> --channel <id> --mention '<@id>' --keywords error,complete

Lifecycle surface

bash
clawhip install
clawhip install --systemd
clawhip install --skip-star-prompt
clawhip update --restart
clawhip uninstall --remove-systemd --remove-config
./install.sh
./install.sh --systemd
./install.sh --skip-star-prompt

⚠️ Create a dedicated Discord bot for clawhip notifications. Do not reuse your Clawdbot / OpenClaw bot token.

Why:

  • clawhip sends high-volume notifications (commits, PRs, tmux events)
  • Using the same bot token as your gateway pollutes the bot's identity
  • A separate bot (e.g. "CCNotifier") keeps notifications cleanly separated from AI chat
  • If clawhip restarts or crashes, it won't affect your main bot

Setup:

  1. Go to Discord Developer Portal
  2. Create a new application (e.g. "clawhip-notifier" or "CCNotifier")
  3. Create a bot, copy the token
  4. Invite the bot to your server with Send Messages permission
  5. Use this token in ~/.clawhip/config.toml:
toml
[discord]
token = "your-dedicated-clawhip-bot-token"

Config scaffold expectations

Key sections:

  • [discord]
  • [daemon]
  • [defaults]
  • [[routes]]
  • [monitors]
  • [[monitors.git.repos]]
  • [[monitors.tmux.sessions]]

Typical preset route:

toml
[[routes]]
event = "github.*"
filter = { repo = "clawhip" }
channel = "1480171113253175356"
mention = "<@1465264645320474637>"
format = "compact"

Dynamic template opt-in

toml
[[routes]]
event = "tmux.*"
allow_dynamic_tokens = true
template = "{session}\n{tmux_tail:issue-1456:20}\n{iso_time}"

Allowed dynamic tokens:

  • {sh:...}
  • {tmux_tail:session:lines}
  • {file_tail:/path:lines}
  • {env:NAME}
  • {now}
  • {iso_time}

Filesystem-offloaded memory pattern

When using clawhip as part of a broader Claw OS workflow, treat memory as an offloaded filesystem tree:

  • MEMORY.md = small pointer/index/current-beliefs layer
  • memory/ = detailed project/channel/daily/handoff memory
  • update root memory only when the map or current summary changes

Read before adopting this pattern:

  • docs/memory-offload-architecture.md
  • docs/memory-offload-guide.md
  • docs/examples/MEMORY.example.md
  • skills/memory-offload/SKILL.md

Verification surface

Use the live operational runbook:

  • docs/live-verification.md
  • scripts/live-verify-default-presets.sh

Preset verification targets:

  • GitHub issue opened / commented / closed
  • GitHub PR opened / status changed / merged
  • git commit monitor
  • tmux keyword / stale / wrapper / watch
  • install / update / uninstall
