# claw-shell ALWAYS USES TMUX SESSION `claw`. ## PURPOSE - RUN SHELL COMMANDS INSIDE TMUX SESSION `claw` - NEVER TOUCH ANY OTHER SESSION - READ OUTPUT BACK TO THE AGENT ## INTERFACE ### Tool: `claw_shell_run` **Inputs:** - `command` (string, required): shell command to run inside session `claw`. **Behavior:** 1. Attach to tmux session `claw` (create it if missing: `tmux new -s claw -d`). 2. Send the command followed by Enter. 3. Capture the latest pane output. 4. Return the captured output to the agent. ## SAFETY - DO NOT RUN: - `sudo` - `rm` (without explicit user approval) - `reboot`, `shutdown`, or destructive system-level commands - IF THE COMMAND CONTAINS ANY OF THE ABOVE: - ASK USER FOR CONFIRMATION BEFORE EXECUTING. ## EXAMPLES - SAFE: - `ls -la` - `bird read https://x.com/...` - `git status` - DANGEROUS (ASK FIRST): - `rm -rf ...` - `docker system prune -a` - `chmod -R ...`
