Conventions used in this manual

  • is the REPL prompt; what follows on that line is what you type.
  • $ is a shell prompt outside thClaws.
  • [tool: Bash: …] / [tokens: Xin/Yout · Ts] lines show what thClaws prints back.
  • Code fences without a language are terminal output; fences with a language (rust, json, bash) are files you write or commands you run.
  • Bold inside a command label indicates a required input (e.g. name).
  • Every chapter is self-contained — skip around freely.
