Control Claude Code via MCP (Model Context Protocol). This skill unleashes the full power of Claude Code for openclaw agents, including persistent sessions, agent teams, and advanced tool control.
# Start a persistent Claude session for your project claude-code-skill session-start myproject -d ~/project \ --permission-mode plan \ --allowed-tools "Bash,Read,Edit,Write,Glob,Grep" \ --max-budget 2.00Send a complex task (Claude will autonomously use tools)
claude-code-skill session-send myproject "Find all TODO comments and create GitHub issues" --stream
Check progress
claude-code-skill session-status myproject
# Connect to Claude Code MCP claude-code-skill connect claude-code-skill status claude-code-skill toolsDirect tool calls (no persistent session)

| Preview changes before applying |
| Ask for each operation |
| Skip all prompts (dangerous!) |
| Delegate decisions to parent |
| Never ask, reject by default |

Deploy multiple Claude agents working together on complex tasks.

Design scalable, maintainable systems." }, "developer": { "description": "Implements features", "prompt": "You are a full-stack developer. Write clean, tested code." }, "reviewer": { "description": "Reviews code quality", "prompt": "You are a code reviewer. Check for bugs, style issues, and improvements." } }' \ --agent architectSwitch between agents mid-conversation
claude-code-skill session-send team-project "Design the authentication system"
(architect responds)
claude-code-skill session-send team-project "@developer implement the design"
(developer agent takes over)
claude-code-skill session-send team-project "@reviewer review the implementation"
(reviewer agent takes over)
# Code review team claude-code-skill session-start review -d ~/project \ --agents '{ "security": {"prompt": "Focus on security vulnerabilities"}, "performance": {"prompt": "Focus on performance issues"}, "quality": {"prompt": "Focus on code quality and maintainability"} }' \ --agent securityFull-stack team

--tools "Read,Glob,Grep"
Disable all tools

# Replace system prompt completely --system-prompt "You are a Python expert. Always use type hints."Append to existing prompt

Add additional working directories
--add-dir "/var/log,/tmp/workspace"
Use
--base-url# Use Gemini via claude-code-proxy claude-code-skill session-start gemini-task -d ~/project \ --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8082 \ --model claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 # Proxy will map to GeminiUse GPT via proxy

--base-url http://127.0.0.1:8082
--model claude-3-haiku-20240307 # Proxy will map to GPT
Note: Requires
claude-code-proxy# Start the proxy cd ~/clawd/claude-code-proxy && source .venv/bin/activate uvicorn server:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8082
Always use persistent sessions for multi-step tasks
# ❌ Bad: Multiple disconnect/reconnect cycles claude-code-skill bash "step1" claude-code-skill bash "step2"✅ Good: Single persistent session
claude-code-skill session-start task -d ~/project claude-code-skill session-send task "Do step1 then step2"
Use
for long-running tasks--stream
claude-code-skill session-send task "Run full test suite" --stream
Set budget limits for safety
--max-budget 2.00 # Stop after $2 of API usage
Use plan mode for critical changes
--permission-mode plan # Preview before applying
Fork before experiments
claude-code-skill session-fork main experimental claude-code-skill session-send experimental "Try risky refactor"
# If session fails: claude-code-skill session-status myproject # Check what happened claude-code-skill session-history myproject -n 20 # See recent events claude-code-skill session-restart myproject # Restart from last good stateIf you need to start over:
claude-code-skill session-stop myproject claude-code-skill session-start myproject -d ~/project --resume <old-session-id>

| Read | Read file contents |
| Write | Create/overwrite files |
| Edit | Edit files with string replacement |
| Glob | Find files by pattern |
| Grep | Search file contents |
| Task | Launch sub-agents |
| WebFetch | Fetch web content |
| WebSearch | Search the web |

claude-code-skill session-start review -d ~/myapp \ --permission-mode plan \ --agents '{"security":{"prompt":"Focus on security"},"quality":{"prompt":"Focus on quality"}}' \ --agent securityclaude-code-skill session-send review
"Review all TypeScript files in src/, check for security issues and code quality problems"
--stream
claude-code-skill session-start test -d ~/myapp \ --allowed-tools "Bash(npm:*,git:*),Read,Write" \ --max-budget 1.00claude-code-skill session-send test
"Find all untested functions, write unit tests, run tests, fix failures"
claude-code-skill session-start debug -d ~/myapp \ --agents '{ "detective": {"prompt": "Find the root cause of bugs"}, "fixer": {"prompt": "Implement fixes"}, "tester": {"prompt": "Verify fixes work"} }' \ --agent detectiveclaude-code-skill session-send debug "We have a memory leak in the API server" --stream
Detective investigates, then hands off to fixer, then to tester
When openclaw needs to perform complex coding tasks:
# From within openclaw agent context: openclaw skills run claude-code-skill -- session-start task -d ~/project openclaw skills run claude-code-skill -- session-send task "Implement feature X" --stream openclaw skills run claude-code-skill -- session-status task
Or use the skill programmatically via sasha-doctor HTTP API (see TOOLS.md section 3).
