Claw Code

  • ID: clawcode
  • Store: ${CLAW_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.claw}/sessions/*.jsonl and legacy *.json
  • Read override: DEJA_CLAWCODE_ROOT or DEJA_CLAWCODE_ROOTS
  • Format: JSONL transcripts (session_meta, prompt_history, message with tool_use / tool_result blocks) plus legacy JSON snapshots
  • Needs: none

Claw Code writes append-only session JSONL transcripts and legacy JSON snapshots

under ${CLAW_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.claw}/sessions/. The reader parses

session_meta, prompt_history timestamps (deduplicating against the user

message turn), and tool blocks (read_file, write_file, edit_file,

bash), while skipping .meta.json and .deleted.json sidecars.

  • Wiring: deja install clawcode registers mcpServers.deja in

${CLAW_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.claw}/settings.json, writes the skill at

${CLAW_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.claw}/skills/deja-history/SKILL.md, and adds the

/deja command at ${CLAW_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.claw}/commands/deja.md.

  • Auto-recall: deja install clawcode-auto wires PreToolUse (deja hook-tool),

PostToolUse (deja hook-tool-after), and PostToolUseFailure

(deja hook-tool-after) hooks into ${CLAW_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.claw}/settings.json.

  • Resume: claw --resume <id> from the recorded workspace_root directory.

deja reads this format and forty-six others, and turns what it finds into memory your agents can search. See the harness matrix for what is wired where, or install it and search your own history.
