# CLAUDE.md This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository. ## Project Overview — CRITICAL MENTAL MODEL **This repo IS the USB drive content**, minus large dependencies. The relationship: ``` 代码库(git)= U 盘骨架(脚本 + HTML + 小文件) ↓ bash setup.sh 完整文件夹 = U 盘内容(骨架 + Node.js + OpenClaw) ↓ 拷贝到 U 盘 U 盘 = 插上就能用 ``` The repo is NOT a "build tool" or "generator" — it IS the USB structure. `setup.sh` only fills in large deps that can't go in git. After `setup.sh`, the `portable/` folder is directly copyable to a USB drive. Four distribution forms: 1. **Portable USB** (`portable/`): Run from USB on existing Mac/Windows, zero install. 2. **Electron desktop app** (`u-claw-app/`): Install-to-computer version, packaged as DMG/EXE. 3. **Bootable Linux USB** (`bootable/`): Ventoy + Ubuntu 24.04 — boots any x86_64 PC from USB, no OS needed. 4. **One-line install** (`install/`): `curl | bash` or `irm | iex` — download and install from network, no USB needed. ## Development Commands ```bash # Portable version — build dev copy cd portable && bash setup.sh # Downloads Node.js v22 + OpenClaw + QQ plugin to app/ bash Mac-Start.command # Launch (Mac ARM64 only currently) # Copy to USB drive cp -R portable/ /Volumes/YOUR_USB/U-Claw/ # Electron desktop app cd u-claw-app && bash setup.sh # One-click: Node.js + Electron + deps (China mirrors) npm run dev # Dev mode npm run build:mac-arm64 # Build Mac ARM64 DMG npm run build:win # Build Windows NSIS + portable # Bootable Linux USB (run on Windows PowerShell as Admin) cd bootable .\1-prepare-usb.ps1 # Write Ventoy to USB (formats drive!) .\2-download-iso.ps1 # Download Ubuntu ISO (~5.8GB, China mirrors) .\3-create-persistence.ps1 # Create 20GB ext4 persistence image .\4-copy-to-usb.ps1 # Copy ISO + persistence + scripts to USB ``` Testing should be done in a separate folder or directly on USB. This repo stays clean (no node_modules, no app/ runtime). ## Architecture ``` portable/ THE USB content (= repo + setup.sh downloads) Scripts, HTML pages, setup.sh app/core/ (OpenClaw) + app/runtime/ (Node.js) — downloaded by setup.sh data/.openclaw/openclaw.json — user config (on USB, portable) Mac-Install.command / Windows-Install.bat — install to computer from USB skills-cn/ — 10 个中国本地化技能(小红书、微博、B站等) u-claw-app/ Electron desktop app (main.js ~400 lines) setup.sh / setup.bat for one-click dev environment Bundles Node.js in resources/runtime/node-{platform}-{arch} Config stored in app.getPath('userData')/.openclaw/ bootable/ Linux 可启动 U 盘模块(完全独立,不依赖其他模块) 4 步 PowerShell 脚本 (Windows 上制作) Ventoy 1.0.99 + Ubuntu 24.04 LTS + casper-rw 持久化 linux-setup/ — setup-openclaw.sh 安装到 /opt/u-claw/ 独立仓库镜像: github.com/dongsheng123132/u-claw-linux install/ 一键在线安装模块(curl | bash / irm | iex) install.sh (Mac/Linux) + install.ps1 (Windows) 7 步流程: 系统检测 → Node.js → OpenClaw → QQ插件 → 技能 → 模型配置 → 启动脚本 安装到 ~/.uclaw/,与 Mac-Install.command 结果相同 ``` > **Note**: 官网 (u-claw.org) 已拆分到独立私有仓库 [u-claw.org](https://github.com/dongsheng123132/u-claw.org),本仓库不再包含 website/ 和 vercel.json。 > **虾航**: AI人导航站 (nav.u-claw.org) 在独立私有仓库 [xiahang](https://github.com/dongsheng123132/xiahang)。 Both portable and desktop versions auto-find a free port in range 18789–18799 and start the OpenClaw gateway. On first run, they detect whether a model is configured — if not, they open Config.html; otherwise, they open the dashboard. ## Key Technical Details - **Node.js discovery**: Portable looks at `app/runtime/node-mac-arm64/bin/node`; Electron looks at `resources/runtime/node-{platform}-{arch}` then falls back to system `node` - **China mirrors**: All downloads use `npmmirror.com` — Node.js binaries from `npmmirror.com/mirrors/node`, npm packages from `registry.npmmirror.com` - **Environment variables**: `OPENCLAW_HOME`, `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR`, `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH` control where OpenClaw reads config - **macOS quarantine**: Mac scripts run `xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine` to remove Gatekeeper blocks - **Config format**: `{"gateway":{"mode":"local","auth":{"token":"uclaw"}},"models":{"mode":"merge","providers":{"xxx":{...}}},"agents":{"defaults":{"model":{"primary":"provider/model"}}}}` - **Config hot-reload**: OpenClaw watches `openclaw.json` and applies changes without restart ## What NOT to Commit Never commit runtime dependencies or build artifacts. These are all in .gitignore: - `portable/app/` and `portable/data/` (runtime + user data) - `u-claw-app/node_modules/`, `u-claw-app/release/`, `u-claw-app/resources/runtime/` - `*.dmg`, `*.exe`, `*.blockmap` Release artifacts go to GitHub Releases, not the repo. ## Branding Rules - Use only official `openclaw` (not `openclaw-cn` or any community fork) - All npm installs reference `openclaw@latest` (official package) - External links point to `u-claw.org` (our site) or `github.com/openclaw/openclaw` (upstream) - No references to competitor products (Qclaw, AutoClaw) in any tracked files - Skill marketplace links point to `skillhub.tencent.com` or `github.com/openclaw/clawhub` ## Platform Support Status - Mac Apple Silicon (ARM64): ✅ Working - Mac Intel (x64): ✅ Working(portable 需先运行 setup.sh 下载 node-mac-x64) - Windows x64: 🚧 In development - Linux x64 (Bootable USB): ✅ `bootable/` 目录 + 独立仓库 [u-claw-linux](https://github.com/dongsheng123132/u-claw-linux) ## Bootable Linux Key Details - **制作环境**: Windows 10/11 + PowerShell (Admin),4 步脚本 - **U 盘要求**: 32GB+ USB 3.0 - **技术栈**: Ventoy 1.0.99 引导 → Ubuntu 24.04 ISO → casper-rw 持久化 → OpenClaw 安装到 /opt/u-claw/ - **国内镜像**: ISO 下载走清华/阿里/中科大,Node.js 和 npm 走 npmmirror.com - **Linux 环境变量**: `OPENCLAW_HOME=/opt/u-claw/data/.openclaw` - **bootable/ 完全独立**: 不引用 portable/、u-claw-app/ 的任何文件,修改互不影响 - **同步**: bootable/ 内容与 u-claw-linux 仓库保持一致,改一边要记得同步另一边
