What this is

ClawCode is a plugin for Claude Code. Install it and Claude Code remembers you between sessions: your name, the agent's own name and personality, the notes you and the agent wrote together last week. It adds memory with bilingual recall (Spanish ↔ English), messaging through WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage and Slack, a browser chat, nightly memory consolidation, and a background service for 24/7 runs. Everything lives inside Claude Code's plugin system.

The agent remembers your dog's name, warns about allergies before suggesting food, and answers in 1 to 2 lines instead of paragraphs.

Why it exists

Claude Code is stateless by default. Open a new session and the agent starts from zero: no memory of what you were working on yesterday, no name, no feel for who it is. Good agents should not do that. That gap is what ClawCode fills.

There are roughly two ways to build persistence on top of Claude. One is a harness: a separate runtime that wraps Claude's API with its own session, memory, and tool layer. OpenClaw is one example. Harnesses run on Claude's API directly; as of April 2026 they can no longer draw from a Claude subscription, so users need to pay for API usage separately.

ClawCode takes the other route. It extends Claude Code from inside as a plugin, so there's no separate runtime and no separate billing. A ClawCode user is just a Claude Code user with an extra layer on top. ClawCode inherits what Claude Code already does well (its harness, tool system, skills, hooks, MCP plumbing) and adds only what a persistent agent needs.

Coming from OpenClaw? /agent:import brings your agent's personality, memory, skills, and crons across.
