## Summary [#summary]

**Claw** is an autonomous assistant that operates a sandboxed workspace to finish
multi-step tasks. It reads and writes files, runs shell commands scoped to a
workspace directory, and follows reusable skills. Reach for it as a base for
coding assistants, repo automation, or any agent that needs a real filesystem.

## Customization [#customization]

* Edit `index.ts` to change the model, description, or system prompt.
* Add route-local tools under `tools/`; tool input and output types are inferred from TypeScript.
* Run `dawn verify` before deploying generated LangGraph artifacts.
