Yeachan-Heo 5d8e131c14 Wire plugin hooks and lifecycle into runtime startup
PARITY.md is stale relative to the current Rust plugin pipeline: plugin manifests, tool loading, and lifecycle primitives already exist, but runtime construction only consumed plugin tools. This change routes enabled plugin hooks into the runtime feature config, initializes plugin lifecycle commands when a runtime is built, and shuts plugins down when runtimes are replaced or dropped.\n\nThe test coverage exercises the new runtime plugin-state builder and verifies init/shutdown execution without relying on global cwd or config-home mutation, so the existing CLI suite stays stable under parallel execution.\n\nConstraint: Keep the change inside the current worktree and avoid touching unrelated pre-existing edits\nRejected: Add plugin hook execution inside the tools crate directly | runtime feature merging is the existing execution boundary\nRejected: Use process-global CLAW_CONFIG_HOME/current_dir in tests | races with the existing parallel CLI test suite\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: moderate\nReversibility: clean\nDirective: Preserve plugin runtime shutdown when rebuilding LiveCli runtimes or temporary turn runtimes\nTested: cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli build_runtime_\nTested: cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli\nNot-tested: End-to-end live REPL session with a real plugin outside the test harness

🦞 Claw Code — Rust Implementation

A high-performance Rust rewrite of the Claw Code CLI agent harness. Built for speed, safety, and native tool execution.

Quick Start

# Build
cd rust/
cargo build --release

# Run interactive REPL
./target/release/claw

# One-shot prompt
./target/release/claw prompt "explain this codebase"

# With specific model
./target/release/claw --model sonnet prompt "fix the bug in main.rs"

Configuration

Set your API credentials:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
# Or use a proxy
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://your-proxy.com"

Or authenticate via OAuth:

claw login

Slash Commands (REPL)

Tab completion now expands not just slash command names, but also common workflow arguments like model aliases, permission modes, and recent session IDs.

Command Description
/help Show help
/status Show session status (model, tokens, cost)
/cost Show cost breakdown
/compact Compact conversation history
/clear Clear conversation
/model [name] Show or switch model
/permissions Show or switch permission mode
/config [section] Show config (env, hooks, model)
/memory Show CLAUDE.md contents
/diff Show git diff
/export [path] Export conversation
/session [id] Resume a previous session
/version Show version
