| description | Use when interacting with a WoW 3.3.5a game world — sending chat messages, reading events, querying players, or managing groups via the tuicraft CLI |
CLI client for World of Warcraft 3.3.5a. A background daemon maintains the game connection and buffers events. The daemon starts automatically on first use and stays running for 30 minutes of inactivity.
tuicraft status
Returns CONNECTED or an error. Check this before other commands.
tuicraft send "message" # say (nearby players)
tuicraft send -y "message" # yell (wider range)
tuicraft send -p "message" # party chat
tuicraft send -g "message" # guild chat
tuicraft send -w PlayerName "message" # whisper to player
Slash commands work too:
tuicraft send "/raid message" # raid chat
tuicraft send "/e waves hello" # text emote
tuicraft send "/dnd busy right now" # toggle DND status
tuicraft send "/afk grabbing coffee" # toggle AFK status
tuicraft send "/roll" # roll 1-100
tuicraft send "/roll 50" # roll 1-50
tuicraft send "/roll 10 20" # roll 10-20
tuicraft send "/1 message" # channel 1
tuicraft send "/2 message" # channel 2
tuicraft read # buffered events since last read
tuicraft read --wait 5 # wait 5 seconds, then return events
tuicraft tail # continuous stream (blocks)

In the TUI, toggle entity event display with /tuicraft entities on|off.
Complete example: forward party chat to an openclaw agent, filtering out the agent's own character to prevent feedback loops. Each agent turn runs in the background so the pipeline doesn't block.
tuicraft tail --json \
| jq -r --unbuffered '
select((.type == "PARTY" or .type == "PARTY_LEADER")
and .sender != "Xia")
| "\(.sender): \(.message)"' \
| while IFS= read -r line; do
openclaw agent --agent x \
--message "$line" \
</dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &
done
Replace Xia with the agent's WoW character name and x with the openclaw
agent id. The agent can respond in-game with tuicraft send -p "message".
To watch different event types, change the jq select filter:
| Filter | Events |
|---|---|
.type == "WHISPER" | Incoming whispers only |
.type == "GUILD" | Guild chat only |
.type != "SYSTEM" | Everything except system noise |
Use when the user asks why a change was made, what the reasoning behind code was, or wants to understand the context of past agent sessions and commits
Use when writing or modifying any TypeScript code. Defines the preferred code style — functional, inference-heavy, optimistic, compact.
