## Problem `claw plugins` (and `claw plugins list`, `claw plugins --help`, `claw plugins info <name>`, etc.) fell through the top-level subcommand match and got routed into the prompt-execution path. Result: a purely local introspection command triggered an Anthropic API call and surfaced `missing Anthropic credentials` to the user. With valid credentials, it would actually send the literal string "plugins" as a user prompt to Claude, burning tokens for a local query. $ claw plugins error: missing Anthropic credentials; export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY before calling the Anthropic API $ ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=dummy claw plugins ⠋ 🦀 Thinking... ✘ ❌ Request failed error: api returned 401 Unauthorized Meanwhile siblings (`agents`, `mcp`, `skills`) all worked correctly: $ claw agents No agents found. $ claw mcp MCP Working directory ... Configured servers 0 ## Root cause `CliAction::Plugins` exists, has a working dispatcher (`LiveCli::print_plugins`), and is produced inside the REPL via `SlashCommand::Plugins`. But the top-level CLI parser in `parse_subcommand()` had arms for `agents`, `mcp`, `skills`, `status`, `doctor`, `init`, `export`, `prompt`, etc., and **no arm for `plugins`**. The dispatch never ran from the CLI entry point. ## Changes ### rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs Added a `"plugins"` arm to the top-level match in `parse_subcommand()` that produces `CliAction::Plugins { action, target, output_format }`, following the same positional convention as `mcp` (`action` = first positional, `target` = second). Rejects >2 positional args with a clear error. Added four regression assertions in the existing `parse_args` test: - `plugins` alone → `CliAction::Plugins { action: None, target: None }` - `plugins list` → action: Some("list"), target: None - `plugins enable <name>` → action: Some("enable"), target: Some(...) - `plugins --output-format json` → action: None, output_format: Json ### ROADMAP.md Added Pinpoint #145 documenting the gap, verification, root cause, fix shape, and acceptance. ## Live verification $ claw plugins # no credentials set Plugins example-bundled v0.1.0 disabled sample-hooks v0.1.0 disabled $ claw plugins --output-format json # no credentials set { "action": "list", "kind": "plugin", "message": "Plugins\n example-bundled ...\n sample-hooks ...", "reload_runtime": false, "target": null } Exit 0 in all modes. No network call. No "missing credentials" error. ## Tests - rusty-claude-cli bin: 177 tests pass (new plugin assertions included) - Full workspace green except pre-existing resume_latest flake (unrelated) Closes ROADMAP #145.

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
Start with
USAGE.mdfor build, auth, CLI, session, and parity-harness workflows. Makeclaw doctoryour first health check after building, userust/README.mdfor crate-level details, readPARITY.mdfor the current Rust-port checkpoint, and seedocs/container.mdfor the container-first workflow.ACP / Zed status:
claw-codedoes not ship an ACP/Zed daemon entrypoint yet. Runclaw acp(orclaw --acp) for the current status instead of guessing from source layout;claw acp serveis currently a discoverability alias only, and real ACP support remains tracked separately inROADMAP.md.

Quick start
Note
[!WARNING]
cargo install claw-codeinstalls the wrong thing. Theclaw-codecrate on crates.io is a deprecated stub that placesclaw-code-deprecated.exe— notclaw. Running it only prints"claw-code has been renamed to agent-code". Do not usecargo install claw-code. Either build from source (this repo) or install the upstream binary:cargo install agent-code # upstream binary — installs 'agent.exe' (Windows) / 'agent' (Unix), NOT 'agent-code'This repo (
ultraworkers/claw-code) is build-from-source only — follow the steps 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
PowerShell is a supported Windows path. Use whichever shell works for you. The common onboarding issues on Windows are:
- Install Rust first — download from https://rustup.rs/ and run the installer. Close and reopen your terminal when it finishes.
- Verify Rust is on PATH:
If this fails, reopen your terminal or run the PATH setup from the Rust installer output, then retry.cargo --version - Clone and build (works in PowerShell, Git Bash, or WSL):
git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code cd claw-code/rust cargo build --workspace - Run (PowerShell — note
.exeand backslash):$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "sk-ant-..." .\target\debug\claw.exe prompt "say hello"
Git Bash / WSL are optional alternatives, not requirements. If you prefer bash-style paths (/c/Users/you/... instead of C:\Users\you\...), Git Bash (ships with Git for Windows) works well. In Git Bash, the MINGW64 prompt is expected and normal — not a broken install.
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
