Two bugs in --output-format json --resume /status:
1. 'model' field emitted 'restored-session' (a run-mode label) instead of
the actual model or null. Fixed: status_json_value now takes Option<&str>
for model; resume path passes None; live REPL path passes Some(model).
2. 'session_id' extracted parent dir name ('sessions') instead of the file
stem. Session files are session-<id>.jsonl directly under .claw/sessions/,
not in a subdirectory. Fixed: extract file_stem() instead of
parent().file_name().
159 CLI tests pass.
Claw Code
ultraworkers/claw-code · Usage · Rust workspace · Parity · Roadmap · UltraWorkers Discord
Claw Code is the public Rust implementation of the claw CLI agent harness.
The canonical implementation lives in rust/, and the current source of truth for this repository is ultraworkers/claw-code.
Important

Quick start
Note
cargo install clawcodewill not work — this package is not published on crates.io. Build from source as shown below.
# 1. Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
cd claw-code/rust
cargo build --workspace
# 2. Set your API key (Anthropic API key — not a Claude subscription)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
# 3. Verify everything is wired correctly
./target/debug/claw doctor
# 4. Run a prompt
./target/debug/claw prompt "say hello"
Note
Windows (PowerShell): the binary is
claw.exe, notclaw. Use.\target\debug\claw.exeor runcargo run -- prompt "say hello"to skip the path lookup.
Windows setup (Git Bash / WSL)
If you are on Windows, the recommended shell is Git Bash (ships with Git for Windows) or WSL. Full sequence:
- Install Rust — download from https://rustup.rs/ and run the installer. Close and reopen the terminal when it finishes.
- Open Git Bash — search for "Git Bash" in the Start menu (not PowerShell, not cmd). The prompt shows
MINGW64— this is normal and expected, not a broken install. - Verify Rust is on PATH:
If you see
cargo --versionbash: cargo: command not found, run. ~/.cargo/envor restart Git Bash, then retry. - Use bash-style paths — in Git Bash,
C:\Users\youbecomes/c/Users/you:cd /c/Users/you/projects - Clone and build:
git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code cd claw-code/rust cargo build --workspace - Run:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..." ./target/debug/claw prompt "say hello"
WSL tip: WSL2 (
wsl --installfrom an admin PowerShell) is the most friction-free Windows path — follow the Linux quick-start steps inside the WSL terminal.
Note
Auth: claw requires an API key (
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.) — Claude subscription login is not a supported auth path.
Run the workspace test suite:
cd rust
cargo test --workspace
