# Clawd Modifier Customize the Claude Code mascot's appearance by modifying colors and ASCII art. ## Quick Reference **CLI location**: `/opt/node22/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/cli.js` **Clawd colors**: - Body: `rgb(215,119,87)` / `ansi:redBright` - Background: `rgb(0,0,0)` / `ansi:black` **Small Clawd** (prompt): ``` ▐▛███▜▌ ▝▜█████▛▘ ▘▘ ▝▝ ``` ## Workflows ### Change Clawd's Color Use `scripts/patch_color.py`: ```bash # List available colors python scripts/patch_color.py --list # Apply preset python scripts/patch_color.py blue # Custom RGB python scripts/patch_color.py --rgb 100,200,150 # Restore original python scripts/patch_color.py --restore ``` ### Add Arms or Modify Art Use `scripts/patch_art.py`: ```bash # List variants python scripts/patch_art.py --list # Add arms python scripts/patch_art.py --variant with-arms # Individual modifications python scripts/patch_art.py --add-left-arm python scripts/patch_art.py --add-right-arm # Restore original python scripts/patch_art.py --restore ``` ### Extract Current Clawd Use `scripts/extract_clawd.py` to see current state: ```bash python scripts/extract_clawd.py ``` ### Manual Modifications For custom changes not covered by scripts, edit cli.js directly: 1. Backup: `cp cli.js cli.js.bak` 2. Find patterns with grep 3. Use sed or text editor to replace 4. Test by running `claude` Pattern examples: ```bash # Find color definitions grep -o 'clawd_body:"[^"]*"' cli.js | head -5 # Replace color sed -i 's/rgb(215,119,87)/rgb(100,149,237)/g' cli.js ``` ## Resources - **Unicode reference**: See `references/unicode-blocks.md` for block characters - **Technical details**: See `references/clawd-anatomy.md` for rendering internals - **Design gallery**: See `assets/clawd-variants.txt` for inspiration ## Notes - Changes are overwritten by `npm update` - Always create backups before modifying - Test with `claude --version` after changes - Some terminals have limited Unicode support
