ClawKeeper CLI

Manage the user's tasks and habits via the ClawKeeper CLI. All data is stored as markdown at the path set by CLAWKEEPER_DIR (defaults to ~/.clawkeeper/).

clawkeeper <entity> <command> [--flags]

If CLAWKEEPER_DIR is set in your environment, the CLI reads and writes data there. This allows multiple agents to share the same task list.

Proactive Checks (Heartbeat)

When running periodic checks, use clawkeeper state show to review the user's habits and tasks:

• Missed habits: If a habit hasn't been completed for more than 2x its interval, ask about it gently. People forget — a nudge helps more than a lecture.
• Building streaks: When a habit's completion count is climbing, acknowledge the momentum briefly.
• Recent notes: If the user added reflections or notes recently, reference them for continuity. It shows you're paying attention.
• Stale tasks: Tasks sitting open for a long time might need to be broken down, re-prioritized, or dropped.

Tone: supportive collaborator, not drill sergeant. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.

Notes

• All commands return JSON: {"ok": true, "data": ...} on success, {"ok": false, "error": "..."} on failure.
• IDs are stable across invocations. Use --id for precise lookups or --text for fuzzy substring matching.
• When adding a task, the response includes the new task's id for subsequent operations.
