## What it does

ClawCode is a Claude Code plugin that gives the agent a continuous identity. Lifecycle hooks load SOUL.md and IDENTITY.md at SessionStart, so the agent wakes up as itself instead of a blank slate. Notes from earlier sessions stay available, including cross-language recall between Spanish and English.

The plugin routes one agent through WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and Slack via MCP plugins. Slash commands like `/status`, `/help`, `/whoami`, `/new`, and `/compact` work from the CLI and from chat apps, with formatting that adjusts per platform.

Every night the agent runs a three-phase memory consolidation: Light, REM, Deep. It weighs six signals and promotes strong memories into long-term storage. That requires the launchd or systemd background service; without it, dreaming never fires. Voice uses sag, ElevenLabs, OpenAI, or macOS `say`, with local Whisper for speech input.

External systems can reach the agent through HTTP webhooks — Cloudflare Workers, GitHub Actions, CI/CD, IoT devices all POST events that get processed like normal messages. Migrating from OpenClaw is a single command: `/agent:import` brings personality, memory, skills, and crons over. Node.js 18+ is required.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install clawcode@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- keep context between Claude Code sessions
- answer from WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, or Slack with one agent
- migrate personality and memory from OpenClaw
- schedule nightly memory consolidation
- receive events from external systems over HTTP

## Example prompts
- Ask "cómo se llama mi perro?" and the agent finds Cookie from English notes
- Run `/agent:import` to pull personality, memory, and crons from OpenClaw
- Type `/status` in Discord to see a status card formatted for that channel

## [What this is](#what-this-is)

ClawCode is a plugin for Claude Code. Install it and Claude Code remembers you between sessions: your name, the agent's own name and personality, the notes you and the agent wrote together last week. It adds memory with bilingual recall (Spanish ↔ English), messaging through WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage and Slack, a browser chat, nightly memory consolidation, and a background service for 24/7 runs. Everything lives inside Claude Code's plugin system.

The agent remembers your dog's name, warns about allergies before suggesting food, and answers in 1 to 2 lines instead of paragraphs.

## [Why it exists](#why-it-exists)

Claude Code is stateless by default. Open a new session and the agent starts from zero: no memory of what you were working on yesterday, no name, no feel for who it is. Good agents should not do that. That gap is what ClawCode fills.

There are roughly two ways to build persistence on top of Claude. One is a *harness*: a separate runtime that wraps Claude's API with its own session, memory, and tool layer. OpenClaw is one example. Harnesses run on Claude's API directly; as of April 2026 they can no longer draw from a Claude subscription, so users need to pay for API usage separately.

ClawCode takes the other route. It extends Claude Code from inside as a plugin, so there's no separate runtime and no separate billing. A ClawCode user is just a Claude Code user with an extra layer on top. ClawCode inherits what Claude Code already does well (its harness, tool system, skills, hooks, MCP plumbing) and adds only what a persistent agent needs.

Coming from OpenClaw? `/agent:import` brings your agent's personality, memory, skills, and crons across.

## [Highlights](#highlights)

- **[Persistent identity](#how-it-works)** — name, personality, emoji. The agent wakes up as itself on every session via lifecycle hooks that inject SOUL.md + IDENTITY.md at startup.
- **[Messaging channels](#messaging-channels)** — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, Slack via MCP plugins. Same agent, every channel, no conflicts.
