ClawGod

English | 中文 | 日本語

God mode for Claude Code.

This is NOT a third-party Claude Code client. ClawGod is a runtime patch applied on top of the official Claude Code. It works with any version — as Claude Code updates, ClawGod automatically re-extracts and re-patches against the new version on the next launch.

Prerequisites

Install these before running the ClawGod installer:

Tool	Why	Install
Claude Code (native binary)	ClawGod patches the official Bun standalone binary you already have	claude.ai/install.sh (macOS/Linux) or claude.ai/install.ps1 (Windows)
ripgrep	Required by Claude Code's Grep tool	brew install ripgrep / apt install ripgrep / winget install BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC
Node.js >= 18	Used by the patcher	nodejs.org
Bun	Runtime for the patched cli.js; auto-installed if missing	bun.sh, npm install -g bun, scoop install bun, or choco install bun

Install

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/0Chencc/clawgod/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://github.com/0Chencc/clawgod/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

Green logo = patched. Orange logo = original.

What it does

Feature Unlocks

Patch	What you get
Internal User Mode	24+ hidden commands (/share, /teleport, /issue, /bughunter...), debug logging, API request dumps
GrowthBook Overrides	Override any feature flag via config file
Agent Teams	Multi-agent swarm collaboration, no flags needed
Computer Use	Screen control without Max/Pro subscription (macOS)
Auto-mode	Unlocks auto-mode for third-party API users (no firstParty gate)
Ultraplan	Multi-agent planning via Claude Code Remote
Ultrareview	Automated bug hunting via Claude Code Remote

Restriction Removals

Patch	What's removed
CYBER_RISK_INSTRUCTION	Security testing refusal (pentesting, C2, exploits)
URL Restriction	"NEVER generate or guess URLs" instruction
Cautious Actions	Forced confirmation before destructive operations
Login Notice	"Not logged in" startup reminder

Visual

Patch	Effect
Green Theme	Brand color → green. Patched at a glance
Message Filters	Shows content hidden from non-Anthropic users

Reliability

Feature	What it does
1h Prompt Cache	Forces 1h TTL allowlist on (was effectively 5m → much higher cache_creation token usage)
Third-Party Cache Fix	Auto-disables x-anthropic-billing-header when baseURL is non-Anthropic. The header's per-request cch field breaks prompt-cache hit rate on DeepSeek / OneAPI / Bedrock / vLLM and any other Anthropic-compatible proxy. You no longer need to set CLAUDE_CODE_ATTRIBUTION_HEADER=0 yourself.
Auto Re-patch	Detects when the user's native Claude binary has been upgraded; transparently re-extracts and re-patches on next launch

Commands

claude              # Patched Claude Code (replaces the official launcher)
clawgod             # Same as `claude`, explicit & guaranteed entry point
claude.orig         # Original unpatched version (auto-backed-up)

clawgod is unambiguous: on Windows where claude.exe may shadow claude.cmd, clawgod.cmd always works. Even after official self-update overwrites claude, clawgod keeps running the patched build.

Configuration

~/.clawgod/provider.json is auto-created on first run. Setting apiKey lets you skip OAuth entirely and point ClawGod at any Anthropic-compatible endpoint.

{
  "apiKey": "sk-ant-...",
  "baseURL": "https://api.anthropic.com",
  "model": "",
  "smallModel": "",
  "timeoutMs": 3000000
}

• apiKey set → ClawGod injects it as ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and isolates from ~/.claude/settings.json. Works with Anthropic, DeepSeek, and OpenAI-compatible gateways. A non-Anthropic baseURL also populates ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN for gateway auth.
• apiKey empty → OAuth path. Run claude auth login once; ~/.claude keeps hosting your subagents, skills, and MCP settings.

How it works

Since @anthropic-ai/claude-code v2.1.113, the npm package no longer ships cli.js — it's a thin loader that dispatches to platform-specific Bun standalone binaries. ClawGod adapts:

1. Locates the user's installed native Bun binary in ~/.local/share/claude/versions/
2. Extracts the embedded cli.js source from the __BUN segment (Mach-O / ELF / PE)
3. Extracts the embedded .node native modules (audio-capture, image-processor, computer-use-*, url-handler) into ~/.clawgod/vendor/
4. Rewrites /$bunfs/... virtual paths to point at the extracted modules
5. Applies 23 regex-based patches (version-agnostic — same patches work across many releases)
6. The claude / clawgod launchers run the patched cli.js under the Bun runtime

A .source-version stamp in ~/.clawgod/ records which native version was patched. On every launch the wrapper compares it against the latest binary in versions/; if the user upgraded Claude Code via the official installer, ClawGod auto-re-patches on the next run.

Update

Just run claude update as usual. ClawGod patches the command to route through its own installer, which pulls the current Anthropic release from npm (@anthropic-ai/claude-code-<plat>@latest), re-extracts cli.js, re-applies patches, and rewrites the launcher. So the upstream update command keeps working the way you expect — you get the latest Claude, with patches still applied, in one step.

If you'd rather invoke the installer directly (same effect, both paths fetch the same upstream release and re-patch):

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/0Chencc/clawgod/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

Windows:

irm https://github.com/0Chencc/clawgod/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

If you'd rather drop ClawGod and use Anthropic's original claude update (which manages its own paths and would overwrite our launcher), uninstall first:

bash ~/.clawgod/install.sh --uninstall

Uninstall

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/0Chencc/clawgod/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall
hash -r  # refresh shell cache

Windows:

irm https://github.com/0Chencc/clawgod/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1; .\install.ps1 -Uninstall

Uninstall restores claude.orig → claude and removes the clawgod alias.

After install or uninstall, restart your terminal or run hash -r if the command doesn't take effect immediately.
