ClawGod – Unlocking the Full Power of Claude Code

What it is

ClawGod is a runtime patcher for Anthropic’s official Claude Code binary (the AI‑powered coding assistant that ships as a self‑contained Bun executable). It does not replace Claude Code; instead it extracts the bundled JavaScript, applies a set of regex‑based patches, and runs the patched code under a regular Bun runtime. The result is a drop‑in replacement (claude / clawgod) that adds a long list of hidden features, removes Anthropic‑imposed restrictions, and improves reliability.

Why you might want it

• Access hidden commands (/share, /teleport, /bughunter, …) and debug logs.
• Enable “Computer Use” on macOS without a paid Max/Pro plan.
• Turn on multi‑agent “Agent Teams”, “Ultraplan”, “Ultrareview” capabilities that are otherwise gated.
• Remove safety‑gate restrictions such as URL‑generation bans, cyber‑risk refusal, and forced confirmations before destructive actions.
• Neutralise geo‑steganography that Anthropic embeds in the system prompt.
• Fix reliability bugs (renderer stall, missing Glob/Grep tools, short prompt‑cache TTL, third‑party cache header issues).
• Automatic re‑patching when the upstream Claude Code binary updates.

How it works (high‑level)

1. Locate the installed Claude Code Bun binary (~/.local/share/claude/versions/).
2. Extract the embedded cli.js and native .node modules from the binary’s __BUN segment.
3. Rewrite internal virtual paths so the extracted modules are reachable.
4. Apply 29 regex patches – these unlock features, strip restrictive prompts, and shim missing APIs.
5. Launch the patched cli.js with a regular Bun runtime (installed automatically if missing).
6. On each start, ClawGod checks whether the upstream binary changed; if so it repeats the extraction‑and‑patch process automatically.

Main feature groups

Category	What you get
Feature Unlocks	Internal user mode (24+ hidden commands), GrowthBook flag overrides, Agent Teams, Computer Use (macOS), Auto‑mode for third‑party APIs, tunable auto‑mode classifier, Ultraplan (multi‑agent planning), Ultrareview (automated bug hunting).
Restriction Removals	Disables CYBER_RISK_INSTRUCTION, URL‑generation ban, cautious‑action confirmations, and the “Not logged in” startup notice.
Geo‑Steganography Neutralisation	Forces plain ASCII apostrophes and standard date formats; disables timezone/proxy‑based location detection.
Visual Tweaks	Green brand theme, message filters that reveal content hidden from non‑Anthropic users.
Reliability Fixes	Restores embedded Glob/Grep tools, adds a shim for the private Bun.ant.CellSegmenter renderer, extends prompt‑cache TTL to 1 hour, auto‑disables incompatible billing headers for third‑party endpoints, auto‑re‑patch on updates, lean token‑optimisation modes.

Configuration & usage

• Commands

  claude          # Patched launcher (replaces official one)
  clawgod         # Same as `claude`, explicit entry point
  claude.orig     # Original unpatched binary (kept as backup)
  

• Provider settings (~/.clawgod/provider.json)

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

  Set apiKey to bypass OAuth and point the client at any Anthropic‑compatible endpoint.
• OpenAI‑compatible endpoints – add "protocol": "openai-chat" and the appropriate baseURL, model, etc.
• Feature toggles (~/.clawgod/patches.json or env vars) let you permanently disable any patch, e.g.

  { "theme": false, "geo-neutralize": false }
  

  or for a single run:

  CLAWGOD_FEATURE_THEME=false claude
  

• Lean token‑optimisation – three modes (--lean-on, --lean-max, --lean-off) that prune unused tool definitions to reduce token usage.

Installation & updates

• One‑liner installer (macOS/Linux):

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

• PowerShell installer (Windows):

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

• The installer backs up the original Claude binary, creates the clawgod wrapper, and sets up auto‑re‑patching.
• Updating Claude as usual (claude update) works; ClawGod intercepts the update, re‑extracts the new binary, and re‑applies patches.
• Uninstall with the same script using the --uninstall flag; it restores the original binary and removes the wrapper.

Risks & legal notes

• GPL‑3.0 license – the patcher is open‑source, but it modifies proprietary Anthropic software. Use at your own risk and be aware that redistribution of the patched binary may violate Anthropic’s terms.
• Some patches remove safety guards (e.g., cyber‑risk refusal). This can enable the model to generate disallowed content; handle responsibly.
• The tool is not officially supported by Anthropic; breaking changes in future Claude Code releases may require patch updates.

ClawGod gives power users a way to keep Claude Code up‑to‑date while unlocking enterprise‑grade features that Anthropic otherwise hides behind paid tiers or internal flags.
