Common Questions

How do I add an AI provider? Add its key to .env, restart. profclaw doctor confirms detection.

Pico vs mini vs pro? Pico = minimal, no UI, edge devices. Mini = dashboard + integrations, good default. Pro = all channels + Redis queues.

How do I enable cron? Set ENABLE_CRON=true (default). Pro + Redis recommended for reliability.

How do I use Ollama/free local models? Set OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434, pull a model (ollama pull gemma4:e4b), select with Ctrl+M in TUI.

How do I connect GitHub/Jira/Linear? Set GITHUB_TOKEN, JIRA_API_TOKEN, or LINEAR_API_KEY in .env. Add webhook secrets for auto-sync.

How do I expose profClaw publicly? Use Cloudflare Tunnel: cloudflared tunnel create profclaw — no port forwarding needed.

How do I enable content filtering? Set CONTENT_FILTER=true in .env. Uses glin-profanity (ML-powered, 21M ops/sec) to block profane messages on all chat endpoints. Active in mini and pro modes only (skipped in pico to save memory).
