- ## 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
-

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:

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.

- ## 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.

23
+ Clew Code is a terminal-native AI coding agent that lives in your repo, works with your API keys, and **doesn't phone home**. It reads your code, writes files, runs commands, and talks to any LLM you bring — all on your machine, no telemetry, no vendor lock-in.
24
+
25
+ If you want a coding assistant that feels local, fast, and doesn't ship your context to a third-party server, this is it.

51
+ ## Prerequisites
52
+
53
+ - **Node.js** 18+ or **Bun** 1.x (recommended for development)
54
+ - An **API key** from at least one supported provider (see [Providers docs](https://clew-docs.pages.dev/providers))
55
+ - *Optional:* Git, Playwright (for browser automation), microphone (for voice input)

59
+ ## Quick Install
60
+
61
+ ### macOS / Linux
62
+
63
+ ```bash
64
+ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClewCode/ClewCode/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ ### Windows (PowerShell)
68
+
69
+ ```powershell
70
+ irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClewCode/ClewCode/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ ### npm (cross-platform)
74
+
75
+ ```bash
76
+ npm install -g clew-code
77
+ ```
78
+
79
+ ---
80
+
81
+ ## Getting Started
82
+
83
+ ```bash
84
+ cd your-project
85
+ clew # Launch the REPL
86
+ clew -p "fix the tests" # One-shot mode
87
+ clew --resume last # Pick up where you left off
88
+ ```
89
+
90
+ First launch walks you through provider setup. After that, use `/model` to switch providers mid-session.
91
+
92
+ ---
93
+
94
+ ## Use Cases
95
+
96
+ | Scenario | How Clew Code Helps |
97
+ |---|---|
98
+ | **Fix failing tests** | `clew -p "Fix the failing tests and explain what was wrong"` — reads test output, diagnoses root cause, applies fixes. |
99
+ | **Refactor a module** | Point it at a file, describe the target structure. Uses multi-file edit tools, git status awareness, and checkpoint rollback on mistakes. |
100
+ | **Research a codebase** | `/research "How does auth work?"` searches code, docs, and web, then compiles a dossier with source references. |
101
+ | **Background automation** | Run `/bg` to delegate long-running tasks (migration, lint fixes) to a background agent while you keep working in the REPL. |
102
+ | **Cross-repo changes** | `/workspace link ../other-repo` edit across linked projects with full context from both. |
103
+
104
+ ---
105
+
106
+ ## Features
107
+
108
+ | | |
109
+ |---|---|
110
+ | **29+ providers** | OpenAI, DeepSeek, Groq, Anthropic, Google, Ollama (local), and 22+ more. Switch mid-session with `/model`. No lock-in. |
111
+ | **Persistent memory** | SQLite-backed, MiMo-inspired store with importance ranking, confidence scoring, and cross-session persistence. Auto-consolidation via Dream + Distill. |
112
+ | **75+ tools** | Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Bash, Browser, MCP, LSP, git, web search, task management, peer coordination, media generation, voice input. |
113
+ | **LAN peer swarm** | Zero-config peer discovery over UDP multicast. Sync memory across machines, delegate tasks, broadcast shell commands across your network. |
114
+ | **MCP + Plugins + Skills** | Model Context Protocol over stdio/SSE/WebSocket. Extend with plugins, `SKILL.md` workflows, or lifecycle hooks. |
115
+ | **Background daemon** | Task queue with lease-based concurrency, cron scheduling, dead-letter retries, and memory maintenance. |
116
+ | **Goal verification + checkpoints** | Track completion with heuristic checks and independent LLM verification. Structured snapshots at 20%/45%/70% progress. |
117
+ | **Multi-agent architecture** | Agents, Subagents, LAN Peers, Process Peers. Personal profile turns Clew into a command center that delegates to Codex workers. |

147
+
148
+ ## Security
149
+
150
+ Clew Code runs entirely on your machine. No code or context leaves your network unless you explicitly configure a remote provider or send a web fetch.
151
+
152
+ - Prompts for permission before read, write, or terminal execution
153
+ - Fine-tune auto-approve rules per workspace
154
+ - Permission scopes: default, ask, plan, auto
155
+ - Guardian system for auto-review using secondary LLM

273
+ ## Development
274
+
275
+ ```bash
276
+ bun run dev # Live-reload REPL
277
+ bun run build # Production build to dist/
278
+ bun test # Vitest suite
279
+ bun run check:ci # Biome lint + format check
280
+ bun x tsc --noEmit # TypeScript check
281
+ ```
282
+
283
+ ### Full pre-commit
284
+
285
+ ```bash
286
+ bun run check:ci && bun x tsc --noEmit && bun test --bail
287
+ ```
288
+
289
+ ### Shadow `.js` files
290
+
291
+ `src/` has ~410 `.js` files alongside `.ts` twins (leftover from JS → TS migration). Bun resolves `.js` import specifiers to the real `.js` file on disk — it does **not** prefer the `.ts` source. If you're making a runtime fix, check for a `.js` sibling and edit **both** files.

295
+ ## FAQ
296
+
297
+ **Q: Does this send my code to a remote server?**
298
+ A: No. Clew Code runs entirely on your machine. Code only leaves your network if you explicitly configure a remote provider or use a web fetch tool.
299
+
300
+ **Q: Which providers are supported?**
301
+ A: 29+ including OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Groq, Google, Ollama (local), and more. Switch mid-session with `/model`.
302
+
303
+ **Q: Can I use it without an internet connection?**
304
+ A: Yes pair it with a local provider like Ollama running on your machine.
305
+
306
+ **Q: How is this different from Claude Code or Cursor?**
307
+ A: Clew Code is provider-agnostic (not locked to one LLM), fully local (no SaaS), and open source (GPL-3.0). It supports multi-provider routing, LAN peer swarms, and persistent memory.
308
+
309
+ **Q: Does it have a GUI?**
310
+ A: It runs in the terminal with a full TUI (Ink + React 19). Some features are also available via a web dashboard at [clew-code.org/app](https://clew-code.org/app).
