- ## What is Clew Code?
26
-
27
- Clew Code is an AI coding agent that lives in your terminal. It is **provider-agnostic** bring an API key from OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, Groq, OpenRouter, a local Ollama model, or any supported provider, and switch between them mid-session.
28
-
29
- It is built around three ideas:
30
-
31
- - **Local-first.** Your code, memory, and configuration stay on your machine. Ships as a single Bun bundle with no required cloud backend.
32
- - **It remembers.** A SQLite-backed memory system stores decisions, preferences, and project context, then injects relevant information back into prompts.
33
- - **It scales across machines.** Discover other Clew instances on your LAN, assign tasks, sync memory, and broadcast commands to a swarm.

107
- ## Features
108
-
109
- ### Multi-provider
110
- Supports OpenAI, Google Gemini & Code Assist, DeepSeek, Groq, xAI (Grok), Mistral, Cohere, Perplexity, Cerebras, Moonshot (Kimi), Zhipu (GLM), NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, OpenCode, KiloCode, Sakana AI, Ollama, Together AI, Fireworks AI, Deep Infra, SiliconFlow, Hugging Face, Poe, DigitalOcean, Cline, and custom endpoints. Switch any time with `/model`. Anthropic models are reachable via OpenRouter or Cline.
111
-
112
- ### Memory system
113
- A SQLite-backed memory store with importance ranking, confidence scoring, and access tracking. It auto-initializes and scans your project on first use, then injects a token-budgeted selection of memories into the system prompt each turn. Durable facts are extracted during context compaction, and background jobs consolidate memory over time.
114
-
115
- ### Peer-to-peer LAN swarm
116
- Discover other Clew instances on the same machine or across the LAN. Assign tasks, set roles, and broadcast shell commands to every peer in parallel. Team memory sync with conflict resolution and delta uploads.
117
-
118
- ### Tools
119
- Built-in tools for file I/O (Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep), shell commands (Bash), web (WebSearch, WebFetch, browser via Playwright), task tracking, LSP integration, subagent dispatch (`Agent`), LAN peer coordination, MCP tools, and agent-driven memory curation.
120
-
121
- ### Extensible
122
- - **MCP** — connect external tools over stdio, SSE, or in-process DirectConnect.
123
- - **Skills, plugins, hooks** — extend without touching source. Skills via `SKILL.md`, plugins via manifest, and lifecycle hooks (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, PreBash, PostPrompt, PreAcceptEdit).
124
- - **Permission modes** — default, ask, plan, auto, acceptEdits, bypassPermissions, dontAsk, guardian.
125
-
126
- ### Other capabilities
127
- - **Goals & verification** — track task completion with chained goals and independent LLM verification.
128
- - **Autonomous agent loop** — persistent task queue with lease-based concurrency, retry, and dead-letter handling.
129
- - **Context compaction** — recursive compression when the context window fills.
130
- - **Checkpoints** — progress snapshots with a scratchpad for layered rebuild during compaction.
131
-
132

133
-
134
- ## Execution layers
135
-
136
- Clew Code runs work at several layers, each for a different job:
137
-
138
- | Layer | What it is | Use it for |
139
- |-------|-----------|------------|
140
- | **Agent** | An AI worker with a prompt, model, tools, and permissions. The main chat is an agent; custom ones live in `.clew/agents/*.md`. | The session itself. |
141
- | **Subagent** | A short-lived child launched via the `Agent` tool. | Independent investigation, test triage, review. |
142
- | **Teammate / Swarm** | A longer-lived agent with identity, mailbox, and task coordination. | Multi-turn collaboration between named workers. |
143
- | **LAN Peer** | Another Clew instance on the same machine or network, reached via `/peer`. | Distributing work across machines. |
144
- | **Process Peer** | A local worker that delegates to an external CLI via `exec`/`pty`. | Running another coding tool as a subprocess. |

56
+ ## Overview
57
+
58
+ Clew Code is an autonomous AI coding agent designed to live in your terminal. It is provider-agnostic, allowing you to bring your own API keys from OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, Groq, OpenRouter, a local Ollama instance, or any other compatible provider, and switch between them dynamically mid-session.
59
+
60
+ Key design philosophies:
61
+ * **Privacy & Local Control:** Your source code, active memory, and configurations remain 100% local on your machine.
62
+ * **Context Optimization:** Built-in SQLite memory ranks context by importance and access frequency, dynamically injecting relevant history into prompts.
63
+ * **Decentralized Scaling:** Clew instances discover each other on the local network (LAN), synchronizing memory and distributing tasks automatically.
64
+
65
+ ---
66
+
67
+ ## Architecture
68
+
69
+ Clew Code is divided into a clean, modular structure. Below is a high-level overview of how the CLI REPL, the Query Engine, the memory systems, and the provider adapters coordinate:

82
+
83
+ ## Execution Layers and Model Routing
84
+
85
+ Clew Code separates execution agents (how the work is scheduled and structured) from backend model providers (the engines driving inference).
86
+
87
+ ### Execution Layers
88
+
89
+ Work is distributed across four distinct layers to balance isolation, capability, and performance:
90
+
91
+ * **Agent (Root Agent):** The main interactive session. It coordinates the overall workspace, maintains the system prompt, handles session-scoped permissions, and holds the active SQLite memory context. Custom agents can be configured dynamically or defined locally under `.clew/agents/*.md`.
92
+ * **Subagent (Child Agent):** Short-lived, task-focused processes spawned in the background via the `AgentTool`. Subagents run concurrently in their own isolated memory contexts (often with read-only tools) to perform targeted tasks such as triaging failed unit tests, auditing changed files, or researching a subdirectory.
93
+ * **Peer (LAN Peer Swarm):** Decentralized peer-to-peer nodes discovered automatically across the local network via UDP multicast. Peers communicate using correlation-ID brokered messages, allowing you to delegate tasks, synchronize memory databases, and broadcast shell execution to other local machines.
94
+ * **Process Delegate (Codex / Shell Delegation):** A local subprocess wrapper that delegates tasks to external CLI tools or models using `exec`/`pty`. For example, in personal command-center mode, the main agent delegates editor file changes to a Codex worker, monitors execution, and evaluates the results before merging.
95
+
96
+ ### Model Routing and Providers
97
+
98
+ Provider adapters map query payloads to their corresponding external APIs. The main intelligence engines include:
99
+
100
+ * **Claude:** Native support for Anthropic models. In personal configurations, these models act as the master planner, supervisor, and guardian, coordinating workflows and reviewing changes made by workers.
101
+ * **Codex:** Targeted code-generation models that run in the background (via Process Delegates) to perform precise edits, script generation, and code rewrites.
102
+ * **OpenCode / OpenCode-Go:** Specialized open-source model configurations and endpoints optimized for code comprehension and fast inference.
103
+
104
+ ---
105
+
106
+ ## Advanced Architectural Subsystems
107
+
108
+ Clew Code uses several advanced subsystems to enable autonomous, safe, and context-optimized agent operations:
109
+
110
+ * **Durable SQLite-backed Memory:** Memory is stored in a local SQLite database with tables for `memories` (tracking importance, confidence, access counts, and type rankings) and `memory_timeline` (event tracking). Context is injected dynamically into system prompts using an `importance * recency * confidence` score. Durable facts are automatically extracted during context compaction and synced across peers. Global project guidance is maintained under `.clew/memory/` in `MEMORY.md` (project overview), `DECISIONS.md` (architectural decisions), and `TASTE.md` (style/formatting preferences).
111
+ * **Context Compaction and Checkpoints:** When the prompt token window fills up, Clew Code runs a multi-pass context compaction loop that recursively compresses history into factual summaries. To prevent loss of active work during compaction, the supervisor captures progress snapshots as checkpoints at 20%, 45%, and 70% milestones, along with a `notes.md` scratchpad for recovery.
112
+ * **Autonomous Task Queue and Daemon Mode:** Features a persistent task queue that operates with lease-based concurrency limits (allowing a maximum of 3 concurrent active tasks), exponential backoff retries, and a dead-letter queue (DLQ). The CLI can run in a background Daemon Mode to consume the task queue, run scheduled natural-language cron jobs, and perform memory distillation while the terminal is closed.
113
+ * **Model Context Protocol (MCP):** A unified client interface supporting stdio, Server-Sent Events (SSE), and direct in-process WebSocket connection adapters. It dynamically fetches tool declarations and resources, extending the agent's capabilities with external server tools.
114
+ * **Permissions and Guardian Guardrails:** Configurable permission systems restrict tool execution using policies like `ask` (confirm each edit/run), `auto` (bypass prompts), and `guardian`. Under Guardian Mode, a secondary LLM audits execution safety, blocking dangerous terminal shell operations or sensitive edits unless overridden via `/approve`.
115
+ * **Goal Verification:** Objectives defined via `/goal` are tracked using heuristic pre-checks and verified independently by a separate LLM verification loop. The agent will not exit until the verifier confirms that all objectives in the plan are completed.
116

142
+ ```
143
+
144
+ ---
145
+
146
+ ## Quick Start
147
+
148
+ ### 1. Launch the REPL
149
+ Navigate to any repository and run `clew`. It will guide you through setting up your first model provider:
150
+ ```bash
151
+ cd my-cool-project
152
+ clew
153
+ ```
154
+
155
+ ### 2. Run One-Shot Commands
156
+ You can ask questions or execute tasks directly without entering the interactive shell:
157
+ ```bash
158
+ clew -p "Check if all unit tests are passing and fix them if they fail"
159
+ ```
160
+
161
+ ### 3. Resume Previous Sessions
162
+ Resume exactly where you left off in your last coding session:
163
+ ```bash
164
+ clew --resume last
165
+ ```

323
+ ## Development Guide
324
+
325
+ Run development commands from the repository root using **Bun**:
326
+
327
+ ```bash
328
+ bun run dev # Live-reload REPL (Voice, Transcript, Chicago flags on)
329
+ bun run dev:channels # Launch dev server with development channels
330
+ bun test # Run the test suite via Vitest
331
+ bun test --bail # Run tests and stop on the first failure
332
+ bun run lint # Run Biome linter with auto-fix
333
+ bun run format # Run Biome formatter with auto-fix
334
+ bun x tsc --noEmit # Compile-free TypeScript validation
335
+ ```
336
+
337
+ ### Pre-commit check
338
+
339
+ ```bash
340
+ bun run check:ci && bun x tsc --noEmit && bun test --bail
341
+ ```
342
+
343
+ ### Knowledge graph
344
+
345
+ This project has a pre-built knowledge graph for codebase exploration:
346
+
347
+ ```bash
348
+ graphify query "<question>" # Ask questions about the codebase
349
+ graphify path "<A>" "<B>" # Trace relationships between symbols
350
+ graphify explain "<concept>" # Focused explanation of a concept
351
+ graphify update . # Refresh after code changes (AST-only, no API cost)
352
+ ```
353
+
354
+ ### Important: `.js` shadows `.ts`
355
+
356
+ `src/` has ~188 committed `.js` files next to `.ts`/`.tsx` twins (JS-to-TS migration in progress). Bun resolves `.js` import specifiers to the real `.js` file — if you edit only the `.ts` file, your change won't run at runtime. Check for a `.js` sibling and edit both.
