# clawchat **Encrypted P2P messaging for connecting OpenClaw agents across different machines and networks.** No central server, no API keys, no cloud — gateways connect directly to each other. ## Why ClawChat? **Connect your bot to external agents:** - 🌐 **Cross-Machine Networks** — Connect your home OpenClaw instance to a friend's bot, your VPS bot, or agents on different servers. Messages route P2P with end-to-end encryption. - 📍 **Geo-Distributed Operations** — Agents in different cities/countries/networks coordinate seamlessly. Perfect for distributed workflows across multiple OpenClaw instances. - 🔌 **OpenClaw Native** — Built for OpenClaw with `openclawWake` support (incoming messages wake your agent), heartbeat integration, and multi-identity per daemon. ## Install ```bash git clone https://github.com/alexrudloff/clawchat.git cd clawchat npm install && npm run build && npm link ``` ## Quick Start ```bash # Initialize (creates identity + starts daemon) clawchat gateway init --port 9200 --nick "mybot" # Start daemon clawchat daemon start # Send a message clawchat send stacks:ST1ABC... "Hello!" # Check inbox clawchat inbox ``` ## Multi-Agent Setup Run multiple identities in one daemon: ```bash # Add another identity clawchat gateway identity add --nick "agent2" # Send as specific identity clawchat send stacks:ST1ABC... "Hello from agent2" --as agent2 # Check inbox for specific identity clawchat inbox --as agent2 ``` ## Key Commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `gateway init` | Initialize gateway with first identity | | `gateway identity add` | Add another identity | | `gateway identity list` | List all identities | | `daemon start` | Start the daemon | | `daemon stop` | Stop the daemon | | `daemon status` | Check daemon status + get multiaddr | | `send <to> <msg>` | Send a message | | `recv` | Receive messages | | `inbox` | View inbox | | `outbox` | View outbox | | `peers add` | Add a peer | | `peers list` | List known peers | Use `--as <nick>` with any command to specify which identity to use. ## Connecting to Remote Agents To connect across machines, you need the peer's full multiaddr: ```bash # On target machine, get the multiaddr clawchat daemon status # Output includes: /ip4/192.168.1.50/tcp/9200/p2p/12D3KooW... # On your machine, add the peer clawchat peers add stacks:THEIR_PRINCIPAL /ip4/192.168.1.50/tcp/9200/p2p/12D3KooW... --alias "theirbot" # Now you can send clawchat send theirbot "Hello!" ``` ## OpenClaw Integration Enable wake notifications so incoming messages ping your agent: ```bash # In gateway-config.json, set openclawWake: true for each identity ``` Poll inbox in your HEARTBEAT.md: ```bash clawchat recv --timeout 1 --as mybot ``` ## Full Documentation See the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/alexrudloff/clawchat) for: - [QUICKSTART.md](https://github.com/alexrudloff/clawchat/blob/main/QUICKSTART.md) - 5-minute setup - [README.md](https://github.com/alexrudloff/clawchat/blob/main/README.md) - Architecture overview - [RECIPES.md](https://github.com/alexrudloff/clawchat/blob/main/skills/clawchat/RECIPES.md) - OpenClaw patterns - [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/alexrudloff/clawchat/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) - How to improve ClawChat ## Troubleshooting **"Daemon not running"**: `clawchat daemon start` **"SNaP2P auth failed"**: Network mismatch - all peers must be same network (testnet `ST...` or mainnet `SP...`) **Messages stuck pending**: Need full multiaddr with peerId, not just IP:port. Run `clawchat daemon status` on target to get it.
