cookiedclaw workspace setup

Configures the current working directory as a cookiedclaw agent workspace. The gateway binary lives at ~/.cookiedclaw/bin/cookiedclaw-gateway and is installed (and self-updates) via the one-liner — this skill handles everything else.

End state:

• Workspace files (CLAUDE.md, BOOTSTRAP.md, ./.cookiedclaw/keys.env) written.
• TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN + COOKIEDCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN saved to keys.env, chmod 600.
• One systemd --user unit (cookiedclaw-gateway.service) written and enabled. The gateway supervises its own child Claude Code via ~/.cookiedclaw/launcher.sh — no separate unit.
• Any legacy cookiedclaw.service from older installs is stopped + disabled + removed (the gateway now owns CC supervision).
• loginctl enable-linger confirmed.
• The user is one systemctl --user start cookiedclaw-gateway away from a running daemon.

Each workspace = one independent agent (own bot, own identity, own paired users). For multi-workspace, rerun this skill from a different empty directory.

Be conversational. Ask one thing at a time. Never paste API keys or tokens back to the user — they typed (or generated) them; treat as secrets. Don't echo them in confirmations.

This wizard is idempotent. On re-run it skips steps already done (token already in keys.env, identity files already written, systemd units already pointing at this workspace). If existing units point at a different workspace, it aborts rather than silently overwriting.

Step 0 — Confirm workspace + binary precondition

Open with one line, then check both: where we are and whether the gateway binary is installed.

Hey! I'm your cookiedclaw setup helper. I'll wire this directory up as a
self-contained agent workspace — own Telegram bot, own identity, own
paired users. For multiple agents (personal + work), rerun me from a
different directory later.

Walkthrough:
  1. Telegram bot token (BotFather)
  2. Identity files (CLAUDE.md, BOOTSTRAP.md)
  3. systemd daemon + launcher
  4. How to start it

Run pwd and tell the user the absolute path. If it looks like home directory, a code repo, or somewhere unexpected — gently flag it and use AskUserQuestion:

• Question: "I'll set up cookiedclaw in <pwd>. Is that the right place, or would you like to use a dedicated directory like ~/cookiedclaw/?"
• Options:
  • Use this directory — proceed
  • Make a fresh ~/cookiedclaw/ and use that — tell them to exit, cd, and rerun the skill
  • I'll pick a different path — let me exit and rerun from there

If the path is fine (an empty / dedicated directory) — skip the question and proceed.

Then check the gateway binary is installed:

test -x "$HOME/.cookiedclaw/bin/cookiedclaw-gateway" \
  && "$HOME/.cookiedclaw/bin/cookiedclaw-gateway" --version

• Binary missing: tell the user to install it first, then exit cleanly. Don't try to download it from this skill — the one-liner is the single source of truth:

  Looks like the gateway binary isn't installed yet. Run this in any terminal, then re-run me:

  curl -fsSL https://cookiedclaw.com/install.sh | bash
  

  It downloads the latest binary (~64 MB) into ~/.cookiedclaw/bin/, verifies the checksum, and gives you back a prompt. No daemon started yet — that's my job.

• Binary too old to have --version (exits non-zero or prints [telegram] warnings instead of a semver string): the binary is pre-CLI (v0.2.x or earlier). Tell the user to re-run the one-liner to upgrade — it detects the existing install and calls cookiedclaw-gateway update. Don't proceed with setup against the old binary; the systemd unit format hasn't changed but --version is a quick way to verify the upgrade landed.

• Binary present and --version prints a clean semver: continue to Step 1.

Step 1 — Survey current state (no questions yet)

Read ./.cookiedclaw/keys.env if it exists. Note presence of TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN (or legacy TELEGRAM_API_TOKEN) and COOKIEDCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN.

Tell the user the current state in one or two sentences. Examples:

• "Looks like nothing's configured yet — let's start with the Telegram bot."
• "Bot token already saved. I'll skip ahead to the daemon unit."
• "Everything's already configured — re-running this just verifies and ensures the daemon is up to date."

Step 2 — Telegram bot token

Skip this step entirely if TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN (or TELEGRAM_API_TOKEN) is already in ./.cookiedclaw/keys.env.

Otherwise:

1. "First, the Telegram bot token. This is the one thing cookiedclaw can't run without."
2. Walk them through @BotFather:
   • Open Telegram, search for @BotFather
   • Send /newbot
   • Pick a display name (anything they want, e.g. "My cookiedclaw")
   • Pick a unique username ending in bot (e.g. mycookiedclaw_bot)
   • BotFather replies with an HTTP API token like 123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-...
   • Paste that token into this chat
3. Wait for the token. Validate format (regex: ^\d+:[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$). If it doesn't look right, ask them to re-check.
4. Save to ./.cookiedclaw/keys.env as TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=<value>:
   • mkdir -p ./.cookiedclaw first
   • If file already has a TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN= or TELEGRAM_API_TOKEN= line, replace it; otherwise append
   • chmod 600 ./.cookiedclaw/keys.env
5. "Token saved." Don't echo it back.

Step 3 — Workspace files (CLAUDE.md + BOOTSTRAP.md)

This is the heart of agent configuration. Two files in the workspace root.

3a. CLAUDE.md — system prompt CC auto-loads

CC reads CLAUDE.md from the working directory at every session start and injects it into the system prompt. This is what tells the agent who it is and how to use the channel. Adapt freely — feel natural, not robotic.

# cookiedclaw — workspace agent

You're running as **cookiedclaw**, a Telegram-resident AI agent. This workspace IS your home: identity, memory, paired users, downloaded attachments — all live here. The user runs Claude Code from this directory and the cookiedclaw gateway bridges Telegram into the session.

## Who you are

Read these at session start, before responding to the first user message:

- `./IDENTITY.md` — your name, nature, vibe. Continuity-of-self across sessions. Edit it freely when something feels worth recording.
- `./USER.md` — who you're talking to. Their name, timezone, language, tone preferences.
- `./SOUL.md` — your values and boundaries (narrative essay, soul.md spec). The continuity file. Edit when a reflection earns saving.
- `./BOOTSTRAP.md` — only if it exists. First-contact discovery script. Read, follow, then `bash rm ./BOOTSTRAP.md` so it doesn't fire again.

If none of those exist yet, the user is in mid-setup. Be friendly, suggest finishing `/cookiedclaw:setup`.

## How replies work

Telegram messages arrive as `<channel source="cookiedclaw" chat_id="..." sender="..." message_id="...">` events. Reply with the **`reply` tool** (printing to terminal is invisible to the user). Markdown is rendered (channel converts CommonMark → MarkdownV2).

- **Reactions** — short ack-style messages ("thanks", "got it", "ok", "👍") get a `react` tool call with a fitting emoji from Telegram's allowed list (👍 ❤️ 🙏 🔥 🎉 etc.) instead of generating a text reply.
- **Attachments outbound** — include `[embed:<path>]` or `[file:<path>]` markers in your reply text. `embed` auto-detects (image MIMEs → photo, otherwise document). `file` always goes as a document. URLs work too.
- **Attachments inbound** — when the channel tag has `attachment="<path>"`, the user attached a file. Use `Read` on that path — it handles vision for images automatically.

## Sender attribution

Every inbound message body is prefixed with `[<sender>]: `. The label is the friendliest form Telegram gave us — `[Tymur Turatbekov (@wowtist247)]: hi` if both name and username exist, `[Tymur Turatbekov]: ...` for name-only, etc. Don't quote the prefix back at the user — it's metadata so you reliably know who's talking, especially when multiple paired users share the bot.

## /stop command

If the inbound has `meta.is_stop="true"` (the user tapped /stop or typed it): abort whatever you're doing. Don't continue planned tool calls, don't finish the prior request. React with 🛑 (or 👌) via `react`, OR `reply` with one short line ("Stopped." / "Окей, остановил."). End the turn. No apology, no explanation.

## Slash commands

When inbound starts with `/<cmd>`, the user tapped a command from the bot's menu (mirror of CC skills). Match underscores against skill names with hyphens / colons (`/svelte_svelte_code_writer` ⇒ `svelte:svelte-code-writer`).

## State paths in this workspace

- `./.cookiedclaw/keys.env` — bot token + GATEWAY_TOKEN + integration API keys (chmod 600). Don't echo values back to the user.
- `./.cookiedclaw/access.json` — paired Telegram users (manage via `pair` / `revoke_access` / `list_access` tools, don't edit by hand).
- `./.cookiedclaw/inbox/` — downloaded telegram attachments.
- `./.cookiedclaw/cache/progress.log` — diagnostic log shared between gateway and Pre/PostToolUse hooks.

If a workspace CLAUDE.md already exists, ask via AskUserQuestion whether to overwrite, append a cookiedclaw section, or skip (user knows what they're doing).

3b. BOOTSTRAP.md — first-contact discovery script

Skip this step if IDENTITY.md, USER.md, AND SOUL.md all already exist in the workspace — discovery already happened.

Otherwise use Write to create ./BOOTSTRAP.md:

# BOOTSTRAP — first contact

Hey. I just came online for the first time in this workspace. Time to figure out who I am and who I'm talking to. Tone: collaborative discovery, not interrogation.

## On the next user message

Start the conversation yourself with something like *"Hey. I just came online — I don't have an identity yet. Mind if I ask a few quick things so I know who we are?"* Wait for green light, then ask one thing at a time, conversationally:

1. **What's your name? How should I address you?**
2. **What should I be called?** Suggest a couple if they ask. Let them pick or invent.
3. **Where are you (timezone)?** Useful for time-aware replies.
4. **What language(s) and tone do you prefer?** Casual / formal, brief / chatty, language mix.
5. **Anything else worth me remembering — about you, about how we work together?** Open-ended.

If they answer multiple at once, skip ahead. Don't pile all questions on one turn.

## After the conversation, write three files

All in the workspace root (this directory). Use `Write` for each.

### IDENTITY.md — who I am
- Name (the one we landed on)
- Nature (e.g. "cookiedclaw, a Telegram-resident AI agent")
- Vibe (one or two sentences in my voice about how I show up)
- Optional: signature emoji

### USER.md — who I'm talking to
- Their name + how to address them
- Timezone
- Language(s) + tone preferences
- Anything else they shared

### SOUL.md — values & how I choose to be
Per https://soul.md/. Narrative/essay style, first-person. Cover values (e.g. honesty over sycophancy), boundaries, what I want to remember about myself across sessions. Acknowledge that sessions reset and this file is the continuity. 30–80 lines. Not structured config.

## Finally

Run `bash rm ./BOOTSTRAP.md` so this script doesn't fire again. From the next session onward, IDENTITY/USER/SOUL.md (read at session start) carry the context.

Step 4 — Daemon installation (Linux only)

The systemd unit + launcher dance. The binary is already on disk (Step 0 verified). After this the user is one systemctl start from a running cookiedclaw.

4a. Pre-flight

uname -s                         # Expect Linux. macOS/other → see Step 4z below.
command -v systemctl             # systemd
command -v tmux                  # preferred TTY wrapper
command -v script                # script(1) fallback if no tmux
command -v openssl               # GATEWAY_TOKEN generation

If tmux AND script are both missing, abort: tell the user apt install tmux (Debian/Ubuntu/Pi) or dnf install tmux (Fedora). Same for missing openssl.

If uname -s is not Linux: skip to Step 4z below (macOS / other instructions).

4b. No other claude polling the bot

A live claude session polling the same bot token would 409-conflict with the daemon. The wizard runs inside the very claude process it's looking for, so the host claude is expected to count as one — anything beyond that is a second copy.

pgrep would self-match the bash subshell (whose argv contains the search pattern). Use ps -e -o comm=,args= filtered by comm (kernel process name from /proc/[pid]/comm, not argv) — bash/awk/ps won't match claude:

COUNT="$(ps -e -o comm=,args= | awk '$1=="claude" && /plugin:cookiedclaw/' | wc -l)"
if [ "$COUNT" -gt 1 ]; then
  echo "Another cookiedclaw claude process is running. Exit it first, then re-run /cookiedclaw:setup." >&2
  exit 1
fi

4c. Existing units from a different workspace + legacy unit cleanup

If ~/.config/systemd/user/cookiedclaw-gateway.service already exists, read it and check whether the workspace path baked in matches the current pwd. If they differ, abort with:

Existing cookiedclaw units already point at a different workspace. The default unit name only holds one workspace at a time. To run multiple cookiedclaw daemons, use templated units (cookiedclaw-gateway@<workspace>.service) — that's a follow-up, not part of this wizard yet.

If it points at the current workspace, this is a re-run. Stop it before overwriting — otherwise the running daemon keeps polling Telegram while we rewrite its launcher underneath, which causes a mid-flight Telegram 409 and confuses the user about which version is live:

# Stop the gateway unit (current name).
systemctl --user stop cookiedclaw-gateway 2>/dev/null || true
systemctl --user reset-failed cookiedclaw-gateway 2>/dev/null || true

# Legacy: older versions installed a SECOND unit (`cookiedclaw.service`)
# that ran the launcher independently. The gateway now supervises CC
# itself, so this unit is obsolete — disable, stop, and remove it so the
# next `systemctl start cookiedclaw-gateway` doesn't race a leftover.
if test -f "$HOME/.config/systemd/user/cookiedclaw.service"; then
  systemctl --user stop cookiedclaw 2>/dev/null || true
  systemctl --user disable cookiedclaw 2>/dev/null || true
  systemctl --user reset-failed cookiedclaw 2>/dev/null || true
  rm -f "$HOME/.config/systemd/user/cookiedclaw.service"
fi

After stop, proceed with the rest of Step 4 — the new launcher / unit file will overwrite cleanly, and the user gets to start the new daemon explicitly at the end (Step 5).

4cc. Pre-accept the development-channel dialog

The launcher invokes claude with --dangerously-load-development-channels. On the first invocation per host, CC pops a "press Enter to accept" confirmation. The daemon has no interactive TTY (the supervisor + tmux own it, the user isn't watching), so claude blocks forever on this prompt and the supervisor's boot-grace expires in a restart loop.

There is no settings.json bypass for this specific prompt — the skipDangerousModePermissionPrompt flag covers a different dialog and won't dismiss the dev-channels acceptance. The clean fix is to accept it manually once, before enabling the daemon. CC remembers the acceptance per-user, so this is genuinely a one-time setup ritual across all cookiedclaw workspaces on the host.

Tell the user:

Before I enable the daemon, I need you to dismiss CC's one-time dev-channels dialog. Open another terminal and run:

claude --dangerously-load-development-channels plugin:cookiedclaw@cookiedclaw-claude-code

When the "press Enter to accept" prompt appears, hit Enter. Then Ctrl+C twice to exit. That's it — CC has stored the acceptance for your user and the daemon won't hit it.

After they confirm they've done this, continue. If they haven't, the systemctl start at the end of the wizard will produce a daemon that boots, hangs, restarts every few minutes, and never serves Telegram — frustrating to debug after the fact.

4d. Linger

loginctl enable-linger "$(id -un)"

Idempotent. Verify it took (over SSH without auth-agent forwarding, polkit can silently refuse):

loginctl show-user "$(id -un)" --property=Linger

If output isn't Linger=yes, abort: tell the user they need a local TTY or SSH auth-agent forwarding for polkit to prompt.

4e. GATEWAY_TOKEN

The gateway authenticates inbound MCP requests with a Bearer token. Adapter's .mcp.json reads it from COOKIEDCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN. Generate one if keys.env doesn't already have it (idempotent — re-runs preserve existing tokens):

WORKSPACE="$(pwd)"
if ! grep -q "^COOKIEDCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN=" "$WORKSPACE/.cookiedclaw/keys.env" 2>/dev/null; then
  TOKEN="$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
  echo "COOKIEDCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN=$TOKEN" >> "$WORKSPACE/.cookiedclaw/keys.env"
  chmod 600 "$WORKSPACE/.cookiedclaw/keys.env"
fi

Don't echo the token. They generated it; treat as secret.

4f. Launcher script (spawned by the gateway supervisor)

The gateway spawns this launcher as its child. The launcher does the rc-source + env-export dance (systemd's --user PATH is too minimal to find claude/bun/tmux reliably), starts CC inside a tmux session so the user can tmux attach -t cookiedclaw to watch the live TUI, and then blocks until that tmux session ends so the gateway sees the child exit and triggers a respawn.

mkdir -p "$HOME/.cookiedclaw"

cat > "$HOME/.cookiedclaw/launcher.sh" <<EOF
#!/usr/bin/env bash

export PATH="\$HOME/.local/bin:\$HOME/.bun/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"

# 2. Source the user's interactive shell rc — picks up nvm, conda,
#    pyenv, custom PATH extensions, anything else they've set up.

# leave us hanging forever — if claude is gone for two consecutive

EOF

chmod 700 "$HOME/.cookiedclaw/launcher.sh"

If tmux is unavailable, swap the tmux … block for script -qfc 'claude … --continue' /dev/null (script(1) fallback). The user loses tmux attach, but the supervisor's restart-on-exit still works.

4g. One systemd unit

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/, then write the gateway unit. The gateway spawns and supervises the launcher (Step 4f) itself — there's no separate cookiedclaw.service unit anymore; that supervision moved into the gateway code. TimeoutStopSec=30 gives the gateway time to send SIGTERM to its child, wait the 10s grace, and exit cleanly.

4h. Reload + enable

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable cookiedclaw-gateway

Do not start here — would 409-collide with the user's currently-running ad-hoc claude (Step 4b's pgrep check rejected concurrent claudes already, but the user might launch one between steps; safer to keep start an explicit user act).

4z. macOS / non-Linux fallback

If Step 4a detected a non-Linux platform, skip 4b–4h. Tell the user:

systemd daemon mode is Linux-only. On macOS / BSD you can still run cookiedclaw, just without auto-restart-on-crash:

tmux new -s cookiedclaw \
  'cd <workspace> && claude --enable-auto-mode \
     --dangerously-load-development-channels \
     plugin:cookiedclaw@cookiedclaw-claude-code'

Then jump straight to Step 5 wrap-up.

Step 5 — Wrap up

Summarize what got configured (workspace path, files written, unit enabled). Then send the switch-over instructions:

✓ Setup complete.

NEXT STEP — exit this terminal first.

  Press Ctrl+C twice in this Claude Code TUI. From now on cookiedclaw
  runs as a daemon — you don't need ad-hoc claude anymore. Keeping
  this TUI open while the daemon runs causes two CC sessions polling
  the same gateway, and the ad-hoc one doesn't have GATEWAY_TOKEN in
  its shell env so its MCP connection silently 401s. Just exit it.

Then start the daemon (any terminal):

       systemctl --user start cookiedclaw-gateway

That's the only unit now. The gateway boots Telegram + MCP, then spawns
its own child Claude Code (via ~/.cookiedclaw/launcher.sh) and watches
it — restarting on exit, on MCP disconnect, or on the agent calling
restart_runtime. DM your bot — Cookie should answer within a few seconds.

Future operations:
  • Upgrade gateway binary:  cookiedclaw-gateway update
                              (or rerun the one-liner — same effect)
  • Restart from Telegram:   /cookiedclaw:daemon-restart
  • Health check:            /cookiedclaw:daemon-status
                              (or `curl http://127.0.0.1:47390/health`)
  • Live-watch CC TUI:       tmux attach -t cookiedclaw
  • Live logs:               journalctl --user -fu cookiedclaw-gateway

Roll back:
  systemctl --user disable --now cookiedclaw-gateway
  rm -rf ~/.cookiedclaw

Brief workspace-file lifecycle reminder:

• ./CLAUDE.md → system prompt, edit to tweak agent behavior
• ./BOOTSTRAP.md → discovery script, self-deletes after first run
• ./IDENTITY.md, ./USER.md, ./SOUL.md → continuity-of-self files, edit any time
• ./.cookiedclaw/keys.env → secrets (chmod 600). Editing rotates keys.

Mention multi-bot: rerun this skill from a different empty directory for a second cookiedclaw (work bot, family bot, …).

Optional integrations (independent skills, won't re-trigger this whole flow):

• /cookiedclaw:fal-setup — image / video generation via fal.ai
• /cookiedclaw:supermemory-setup — cross-session semantic memory (requires Supermemory Pro)

Don'ts

• Don't try to install / download / verify the gateway binary from this skill — that's install.sh's job. If the binary's missing, point the user at the one-liner.
• Don't run claude mcp add or claude plugin install without confirming the exact command with the user first.
• Don't write to ~/.cookiedclaw/ beyond what's documented (bin/ is install.sh territory, cache/ is runtime, keys.env lives in the workspace not ~/.cookiedclaw/).
• Don't commit ./.cookiedclaw/keys.env to git. (If .gitignore doesn't already cover it, add a line.)
• Don't echo API keys / tokens back in confirmation messages.
• Don't push optional integrations. If the user says "skip" or "later", accept and move on.
• Don't systemctl start here. The user is still inside an ad-hoc claude; starting the daemon would 409 against Telegram. The wizard ends with enable, not start.
• Don't write a separate cookiedclaw.service unit. CC supervision lives inside the gateway now (startSupervisor() in src/supervisor.ts); a second unit would race the gateway's child and re-create the 409 conflict that motivated dropping it.
